Voidship
Whilst possessed of similar colossal dimensions to the vast conveyances and astral arks of ancient Generation Ships that sought to carry billions of souls in the ordeal of the long civilisational journey across the Astral Sea, the Voidship differs from the Generation Ship in that it is typically the embodiment of a singular guiding consciousness.
Though enormous and near incomprehensible to mortal eyes, the Voidship steers just one individual or at most a handful of wanderers across the darkness.
Many Voidships are named after heroes or Virtues of old:
The Lady Of Sorrows
The Kyriarch
Sanchuniathon
Sulquivagante
Agathangelus
Caleuche
Stones Of Urshanabi
The Mark Of Tauthus
The Schavaldour
Benevolence Of Tigers And Wolves
Ordnungssinn
The most common configuration of the voidship is an enormous lengthened hollow pillar or needle-spindle, a tunnelling metal throat swallowing the empty Void itself and the Waters Of Death, although myriad other exotic forms exist: some are said to resemble sheafs of kite sails, edged surfaces; whirlwinds, the slant wedge of an axe-head or guillotine, coiled spine-ships, and the truncated and elaborate asymmetric ring-ships of the Annulari.
The Navarch of a voidship and the ensoulment of the sacred vessel itself are said to be one and the same; voidships or at least their consciousness commonly appear in corporeal form as mortal beings.
