How many worlds have died just so you could get your timing right?

“Shhh. Do not be afraid, my boy. Let yourself go! Your body will keep you alive. And if it does not, I will. I will see that you are healed, and that you belong to me. Not to some villagers, those…creatures… but to the glorious empire. You will be of great use to us, Steve.”

If you don't mind me asking, do illagers have any form of religion like villagers? Or do they just worship/follow whoever's in charge

They worship themselves. Okay, well, that’s sort of partly figurative, partly literal. Let me explain:

On paper they worship the same three deities as their agrarian cousins do, Spirit/Foresight, Harvest/Action and Prosperity/Knowledge (I had a three God system for villagers before I found out about legends, so I’ve kind of folded their three gods into mine, so they’re the same guys, just different expressions of them). They have similar sacred animals as well, like cats and hens, which express traits of Spirit and Harvest respectively.

The major difference between illager religion and villager religion are these key traits:

- Obviously, illagers do not have the oath of pacifism that villagers follow. They have some of the cultural rituals that stem from the villager’s oath of pacifism, such as hand-hiding and shaving of the head, but it hasn’t retained the same theological background.

- Illagers LOVE magic… Well, magic that they practice. If anyone they don’t like is up to some sorcery, they get pissed off. They think it’s a gods-given gift to illagerkind alone. Meanwhile, villagers are very antsy about magic. There’s only a few branches that they allow, and there’s only a few jobs that can pursue them. This results in illagers progressing their technology at the expense of others, ethics and themselves, while villagers remain technologically stagnant and refuse to experiment.

- Illagers idolize their image. Their own civilization is a god in itself, considered to be the child of the three hosts respective qualities. This is why they really like putting their faces on everything — why make up a flag and go through the trouble of reproducing it, when you can use the most recognizable symbol of all, stuck on the bodies of your people: The visage!!

While villager legends (as per minecraft legends) lament over how illagers are the result of the corruption of war, turning the humble villager into something monstrous in soul and action, the illagers see things differently. They viewed the three hosts giving them the power of weaponry/war as a hopeful event, not an ominous one. Instead of blind, feeble cattle (which is how they view villagers) they were now powerful and clever. In villager myth, illagers chose to leave to follow a path of destruction, but in illager myth, the illagers were forcibly cast out by the villagers, rejected for their new ideas, thus becoming martyrs in a way — cast out scholars and heroes, forced to wander into the treacherous wilds by their cowardly kin, banding together with their wits and strength to make the Glorious Empire (and a massive persecution/superiority complex)

Since players were made to be tools, they all have a constant urge to Do Something, like a working dog. It is an unstoppable, constant instinct, like someone crossed a conscious human with a golem, in the sense of its function being engraved into its very being, and that life without that inherent function is entirely incomprehensible. Steve, for example, has a constant compulsion to make things, because they were made to be the Builder. They enter a creative fervor at random times and make objects from their dreams and memories that they sometimes don’t actually understand/know about. Alex was made to be the Wanderer, to chart new areas, so they might dissapear for days at a time, unheard of, and grow anxious if kept in one place for too long.

Is there lore as to what happened to hero and what void bornes are?

To answer your first question: the ancient humans died out due to three factors, lumped together in an event called The Fall.

I’ll put a read more since this is kind of long.

- The first was a huge war between two major kingdoms, which would cause the next two catastrophes. They were butting heads as their technology began to progress and they needed more materials.

- The second was the undead plague. This was caused by necromancer magicians playing God in order to gain an upper hand over the other kingdom, but the bioweapon got out of control and people started zombifying.

- The third was the Wither. The wither was sort of their equivalent to a nuclear bomb. It was the weapon to end all weapons. This was made in a last ditch effort, but as it turns out, summoning an angel of entropy isn’t a good idea, and the land was scourged with radioactive withering.

- Due to the voracity of the wither combined with the zombie outbreak, the surviving humans scattered and fled to the ender stronghold and underground (different groups). However, the group that went to the stronghold, in their panic as they wrangled random civilians together, had not accounted for the fact that the end portal was on the enemy kingdom’s land, not theirs, and so they didn’t know that the portal had been shut off by the ender dragon when she had been summoned.

- They were stranded, and soon succumbed to the ravaged landscape they found themselves in. Meanwhile, the people who went underground found a strange biome full of tarry black mould that seemed to be sapient. This group was led by Rana, once a princess of one of the kingdoms. She negotiated as best she could with the organism, which called itself Sculk.

- the Sculk was intelligent, but it was entirely single minded in its goals — Get Food, Spread More — making it somewhat untrustworthy. Not to mention being around it had hallucinogenic, mind altering consequences. This would soon spell the death of the Rana’s ancient city inhabitants, as the population soon descended into a sort of cult that worshipped the superorganism. It became less of a mutual benefit situation and more of a “feed our eternally hungry god even if we starve” situation.

- Some of the few sane people left in the ancient city (including a now aging and unwell Rana) knew they were screwed. They had kept the notes and documents from the old world’s genetic experiments, and used this to create new forbears that could give them a second change in the far future once the world had recovered. These genetic experiments were called Players. They were made to be very durable, resilient and curious, and were to construct the foundation for the future civilization they would produce.

- Eventually, the ancient city was overcome with the sculk, and they too died (causing the mould to spread even further through the bowels of the world). 1000 years later, the Players exited stasis and spawned into the world with no memory aside from Basic Information, instincts and concepts engraved into their brains by their creators. These Players were Steve, Alex and Hero.

* The ancient humans had not accounted for the fact that some remote farming settlements and monasteries had survived (they were far away from the main cities where the catastrophes took place, so they only really got some of the second hand affects like areas of crop failure) and over the course of 1000 years they would become what are now villagers and illagers.

Okay, with that out of the way, about Voidborn. Voidborn are creatures native to the Void (the expanse of darkness between dimensions). Due to their origin in the Void, they are chaotic forces and exist as a form of sentient entropy, like the Void itself. They are semi-corporeal and while they can influence the corporeal realm, they can’t exist in the likes of the Overworld or Nether. However they tend to want to be corporeal. Lesser beings, like White-Eyes, latch onto things to feed off of them. In the case of White-Eyes, they latched onto Hero’s soul, and became the entity known as Herobrine. Stronger beings exist in Shells, biomechanical bodies built for them by corporeal beings they have influenced. This encompasses the likes of The Ender Dragon and The Vengeful Heart of Ender. These guys have a tendency to fuck shit up to put it bluntly. The heart of Ender, even when imprisoned in the orb of dominance, influenced many mortal beings through history to become utterly demented tyrants, such as the Arch-Illager.
