Voiders Anonymous Organization in Game of Tomes | World Anvil

Voiders Anonymous

Article by Sable Aradia, with help from Sunny L, Lord Galakrond, Tempest Kwake, and Erin Righ.
Voiders Anonymous is a loosely-organized group of the Voidtouched among the Tome Knights. Part support group, part clique, and part coven, they meet frequently in the layer of The Void known as "The Labyrinth" to discuss the secrets of Voidlore and their feelings on the goings-on in the "World Outside" (the Realm, or physical reality as we typically understand it.)   Since "the Voiders," as they call themselves, are all among the scions of the Noble Houses, these discussions often include inside baseball commentary on the deepest secrets of world politics. Since they started to stream these discussions, they have also gathered something of a fan following.

Structure

There's a structure?
— Sable Aradia
  Inasmuch as the Voiders can be said to have a leader, they look to Princess Sunny the Void Bunny as their primary expert on the Lore and hidden secrets of the Void. But otherwise, the group is clearly a chaotic free-for-all of equals, each of whom specializes in a different "layer" of the Void, and each of whom is considered to be the authority in the nature of that layer and its laws and powers.   While they do share information and knowledge about the Void, for the most part they are simply a group of oddball friends, bound by their common weirdness as Voidtouched. No one attempts to command or direct anyone else, although they will work together on common causes, such as The Feast of the Void, a social gathering they organized for the Tome Knights at the April 2022 Tourney of Tales.   Recent additions to the Voiders Anonymous seems to be none other than the Great Flame Tempest Kwake and Sable Aradia, the Mother of Bunnies -- although nobody has explained this, other than a familial relationship with Lord Galakrond and Princess Sunny. There has recently been some implication that whatever attuned Sunny to the Void was also done to Tempest, but the details remain sketchy.   Unlike the other Voiders, Tempest is a rabbit of fire, and Sable seems to appear in the Void as a shining white rabbit, glowing with starlight. This is now known to be due to their unique affinity to layers of the Void known as The Overflow and The Firmament respectively.

Culture

Culture? Isn't that mostly on Gala? Mushrooms, bacteria...
— Erin Righ, being a smartass
  The internal subculture of Voiders Anonymous is probably best described as "batshit crazy" and "utterly ridiculous" -- chaotic, to say the least. Off-colour and off-the-wall jokes are a rule of thumb, as is gentle teasing, a constant stream of memes, and the kind of nonsense that most people find funny at 3 o'clock in the morning. When one considers they are literally laughing in the face of the Void, this makes some degree of sense.

Public Agenda

Do we actually have anything that could be described as a "public agenda?" I mean, I think this implies a level of organization we don't have.
— Sable Aradia
 
Um, not to my knowledge other than to spread the word about the Void... and possibly chaos. Um... Void go brrrrrrrrrr
— Lord Galakrond's reply
 
Chaos? Uh... don't touch that which is ours?... As the Company will find out...
— Princess Sunny's two cents
  Voiders Anonymous seeks to educate people about The Void and the effects of being Voidtouched. They are vocal advocates for the Voidtouched, while at the same time, they caution people from being too trusting of anything from the Void.

    A-Voiders

    So let me ask you; as an A-Voider, what is the attraction of Voidlore streams and the Voiders?
    — Sable Aradia
    Aside from the fact that they and you are hilarious?
    — Tempest Kwake
    Regular attendees of Voidlore streams have named themselves A-Voiders in a punny homage. The chaotic humour of the Voidlore streams appears to be the focus of the fanbase, but those who regularly attend the streams note that important secrets are often also revealed.

    The Fifth Voider

    There is some indication that there might once have been a fifth Voider, but this person vanished along with The Missing House at the end of The Third Word War. None of the other Voiders remember anything about them other than some vague conversation remnants.   There is also a rumour that there is a fifth Voider who has only just joined the group, but nothing is yet known about them, either.
