I've come up with some sona lore regarding Lament and the realm of the Void
As I mentioned in the pinned post, the Void is a layered reality- its own space between spaces. There are four layers that I've come up with so far and will list them as follows:
Layers of the Void realm
Composed of darkness, dark matter, and shadow, it is a quiet and vast plane where Lament is the overseer/ruler. It is a cold place, no sun or complete warmth, with very few stars to light up the skies. The landscape is made of a fine, sparkling black sand (similarly colored to labradorite), speckled with leafless dark trees and pools of clear fluid that reflect the stars and trap their light for consumption. Those whose souls are claimed by Lament are turned into Shades- silhouettes of wispy shadow that wander the barren landscape as her subjects.
Void: Uppermost layer of the Void
Abyss: Second Layer of the Void
Not as dark in visual appearances, composed of jagged rocky landscapes of obsidian and bedrock. Souls that die within the Abyss are turned into mindless beasts filled with an endless rage and need to hunt. Dark deities linger in the void, ancient and forgotten by humans that long to regain the strengths they once held. Their voices whisper in the backs of minds, trying to ensnare anyone who is lured by temptation.
Mania: Third Layer of the Void
Thick, dense trees cover the ground of this layer. The landscape is battered by frigid and biting winds, making the branches rattle like bones and the leaves chatter like whispers. Any soul unfortunate to end up in Mania is forced to walk through endless woods in spirals, unable to find any end or exit to their plight. No animals or prey exist in the layer, causing starvation and intense dehydration. The victims quickly lose their sanity and what remained of their minds, either muttering to themselves or biting on what's left of their flesh. They become Husks, walking figures of madness that crave any kind of sustenance and will even try to kill other Husks for food.
Null: Deepest Layer of the Void
In Null, there is Nothing. No land. No sky. No gods. It is a plane of non-existence, the pit of a black hole. If anyone is able to reach this layer of the Void, they would be aware of their body and mind being torn apart into atoms before blinking away into nothing. Only their consciousness would remain, if they are strong enough. They become one with the fabric of Everything and Nothing. They exist and they do not. To the deities and gods, this is considered Hell. To not just be forgotten, but to be gone entirely...no one to know of you or even be mentioned in history. Erasure is worse than death.
