Wow, that's an amazing story.

In the world of Dragon Age, the Void (a.k.a. abyss) is also a place of nothing, but it is parallel with the Fade, the place where spirits and demons dwell, the place where magic begins. The Fade used to be tied with the world until a Veil separated it from the world. The Elves believe that the Void is where ancient malevolent gods dwell.

I never thought much of any place called the Void before I got into Dragon Age lore. Even Star Wars doesn't have a Void, unless you count the Yuuzhan-Vong as existing outside the Force and thus perhaps from some sort of void because they are devoid of the Force. Even non Force users have the Force within them, it is in all things, living or dead. When I started studying Dragon Age lore, the Void was familiar because of the quest called the Anvil of the Void, and to curse someone to the Void is to cast an ill omen onto them.

It is a strange place filled with a lot of myth and legend. It appears in places like fiction because of its various possibilities that it presents, the exploration of the existence of such a place.
