The Void (also referred to as Shadow)[1][2][3] and the Light are the most fundamental forces in existence. Although contradictory by their very nature, they are bound together on a cosmic scale. One cannot exist without the other. Pure Light and Shadow dwell in realms outside the borders of reality. The Void is not necessarily 'evil', it is a primal force with its morality characterized by how it is wielded.[4]Dimensius the All-Devouring opened gateways to the Void and the Twisting Nether when he invaded K'aresh.[5] However, shades of their presence are found in the physical universe: Light manifests as holy magic, while the Void appears as shadow magic.[6]
Bottled Void (from the TCG).
The Void can be a source of terrible power, the kind of power that comes at a price.[7] While the Light is often said to bring about feelings of positive emotion—hope, courage, comfort—and the like, Shadow abilities are the opposite, able to impart feelings like despair, doubt, and panic. In a poetic sense, it can be said that the emotions which the Light brings about come from the 'heart', whereas the emotions manipulated by Shadow are often based on survival logic, and therefore affect the 'mind'.[8]
The Void shows only half truths.[9] It cannot fully see destiny, though neither can the Light, because neither are singularly responsible for creation. The Void seeks every possible path and sees them all as truth.[10]
History
In the very beginning of time, before even the cosmos existed, there was only the Light and the Void. Originally, only the Light existed as an unfettered, shifting ocean of living energy. However, as some of its energies faded and dimmed, pockets of cold nothingness were created. From the absence of Light in these spaces, a new power coalesced and came to be. This was the Void, a dark and vampiric force driven to devour all energy, to twist creation inward to feed upon itself. The Void quickly grew and began to move against the Light, and before long, the mounting tension between the two forces ignited a series of explosions that ruptured the very fabric of creation, giving birth to the physical universe. The most unstable energies coalesced into an astral dimension known as the Twisting Nether. Light and Void collided and bled together at the edges of this realm, throwing it into turmoil.[11]
Races of the Void
Creatures of the Void are naturally chaotic. They are a necessary part of the universe, but they must be kept in check by the Light.[12]
The Old Gods
The four Old Gods on Azeroth.
The Old Gods were created by the malignant entities known as the void lords, and they live only to transform the worlds they infest into places of despair and death. Physical manifestations of the Void, they are nightmares incarnate: mountains of blighted flesh and writhing tentacles that grow like cancers within the worlds of the Great Dark Beyond. Their goal is to find and corrupt a world-soul in order to create a dark titan that would annihilate the universe.[13]
Many of the Old Gods' minions make extensive use of Shadow magic, and the terrifying dagger known as Xal'atath, which was used by dark priests during the height of the Black Empire, uses powerful Void energies and mind magics to warp everything around it for nefarious purpose.[14] In Ulduar, Faceless Horrors surround themselves with shadowy barriers and summon voidwalkers to aid them in combat.[15] Twilight magic is presumably Old God magic of the void branch.[16]
Voidwalkers
Velnoth, a voidwalker.
Voidwalkers are seemingly the most common type of Void being. They do not fear pain, so they are popular with warlocks who do.[17]
Void lords
The void lords are evil entities composed of pure shadow energy. These beings are cruel and merciless beyond mortal comprehension. Driven by an insatiable hunger, the void lords seek to devour all matter and energy in the physical universe. In their natural state, the void lords exist outside reality. Only the most powerful of these entities can manifest in the physical universe, and only for limited amounts of time. To maintain their presence in reality, the void lords must consume untold amounts of matter and energy.[18] They instead created the eldritch Old Gods to find and corrupt a titanworld-soul and turn it into an unspeakably dark being that not even the Pantheon would be able to stand against.[19]
Void revenants
Nhallish, a void revenant.
Wow The Shadow Of The Void Quest Line
Void revenants are a race of parasitic void-beings that tear holes through the planes of reality, consuming and absorbing the energies and beings within. There is one known occurence of a void revenant being fed overwhelming fel energy, Xhul'horac.
Others
There are many different types of beings that originate from the Void. Although they aren't demons,[20] they are often classified as such for gameplay reasons.[21] In Warlords of Draenor, most void creatures are classified as either elementals or aberrations (although the void revenantNhallish is classified as undead).
Effects on beings
Rumor has it that some beasts that were touched by the Void exist in a space between this world and the next.[22]
The void can consume life or meld with it, but the latter often has unperceived consequences.[23]
Arakkoa
Talonpriests, arakkoa followers of Terokk, wield the Void.[24] They use special elixirs, made from shadow dust, to cross over into a realm of shadows, which is also where they sealed Terokk after he descended into madness and hatred.
The ancient Apexis arakkoa wielded Light and Void in balance (as well as arcane).
Dark naaru
M'uru, a darkened naaru.
It is exceedingly rare for a naaru to fall into a void state, and even rarer for a fallen naaru to be brought back into the Light. A naaru's fall into the void represents a catastrophic loss for the naaru and for the forces of the Light, and it is the saddest, most heart-wrenching event for the naaru to witness. Conversely, a naaru being reborn into the Light brings renewed hope and sense of purpose to every naaru.[26]
The few cases of dark naaru that Locus-Walker knows of all involved mortals in some way, which he thinks carries fascinating implications.[27]
Void elves
High elves and blood elves imbued with void transform into void elves. Void elves gain new powers such as [Entropic Embrace] to enhance their abilities with the power of the Void. They also have the ability to create Spatial Rifts, allowing them to teleport through space and distance instantly. Additionally, void elves may use their [Ethereal Connection] to reduce the cost of Void Storage and Transmogrification or withstand shadow magic.[28] Void elves have a [Preternatural Calm], which gives them an unwavering focus when casting spells even when in pain. Although having the power of the Void at their command has its benefits, it also has its drawbacks. Void elves must constantly resist the whispers of the shadow that attempt to lure them into madness. The Void seeks to strip away the void elves of their flesh and their mortality so that they may become slaves to the shadow's all consuming hunger.[29] Furthermore, so long as the void elves pulse with void energy, they also become a beacon for other creatures of the void. If they cannot corrupt the void elves, they will use them to corrupt other powerful sources of Light, such as the Sunwell.[30]

Void ethereals
Void ethereals are ethereals infused with the power of the Void. Their energies are dark purple or red. They also hear maddening whispers that sway them to do the will of the Void.[31]Nexus-stalkers are a partially Void-based form of ethereals created by the rogue Ethereum faction, and are considered by the Protectorate to be aberrations.[32] Though the Ethereum was initially dedicated to hunting down and taking revenge on Dimensius, their goal later changed to 'becoming void.' To that end, they constructed a proto-accelerator which was used to manipulate the abundance of Void energy at Manaforge Ultris, bonding it with their own energy to transform into nexus-stalkers.[33]
The physiology of a nexus-stalker is similar to that of a typical ethereal, albeit with hybrid bodies composed in part of Void energy. As such, they appear translucent and perpetually emanate a shadowy, purple miasma. Those that have been encountered have had the ability to drain their enemies' power.[34]
Demons
Demons were originally formed as a result of the Light and Void energies that had bled together at the borders of the Twisting Nether. They wield the Void as part of their arsenal. The nathrezim, otherwise known as dreadlords, are cunning, manipulative, and masters of the arts of shadow magic.[35] The Burning Legion is known to summon and bind Void creatures to serve them.
Orcs
On the alternate Draenor, the Shadowmoon clan of orcs discovered the Void after the arrival of the Dark Star, but when necromancy was discovered, the clan leaders outlawed the Void's power. After the formation of the Iron Horde, Ner'zhul broke those laws for the sake of his clan's safety. Shadowmoon spellcasters began experimenting with unstable void magic near the Teluuna Observatory.[36] The void's effect on Draenor also became more pronounced. Vile bloods of the land emerged.[37] The Shadowmoon also began summoning void beasts through hastily opened portals that could have torn Draenor apart.[38]
Undead
The undead are beings who have died and become trapped between life and death. One of the consequences of the involvement of Void in the undead's metaphysics is that they only feel faint sensations of pain or discomfort from most physical stimuli. This is also why the Light is so painful to their existence. The dark energy serves as a buffer that prevents the souls of the undead from properly joining their bodies. As a result, their souls are imperfectly attached to them.[39]
When a spirit is consumed by the Void, an echo of the soul is all that is left behind. These echoes are not truly 'alive' in either the physical or spiritual sense, and are merely twisted reverberations of the anguish of the soul left behind when it was consumed.[40]
Priests
'I draw deep from the shadows to slake my thirst for power. I'm never thirsty for long.'
Priests are devoted to the spiritual, that which relates to Spirit. Priestly Shadow magic can deliver great amounts of immediate damage, or wracking pains that punish foes over longer periods of time.[41] The Light in which many priests bathe is brilliant and effervescent, granting them immense divine power. But the brightest light casts the darkest shadow—and from within this blackness, a rival power dwells. Shadow priests fully embrace this opposing polarity, their faith equally resolute as their holy counterparts—but focused on shadowy magics and mental manipulation. Like all priests, they dedicate much of their lives to worship—but they derive their power from the Void, straying dangerously close to the domain of the Old Gods. To truly understand such ancient, corruptive influence is to be driven mad. This is the state in which these dark priests thrive, embracing insanity and feeding off of the minds of their opponents to reach terrifying new limits.[42]
Shadow priest preach balance between Light and Darkness, for it is often too hard to find one's way back to the Shadow from the deepest reaches of the Void.[43] When entering [Voidform], shadow priests are forced to speak Shath'Yar, the language of the Old Gods.[44]
Necrolytes
Practitioners of religions, necrolytes are binders of souls and command the black powers that hold control over the earth.
Rogues
Subtlety rogues are the masters of the shadows, and they strike unseen. They don't have the lethal poison-tipped daggers of the assassin or the brawling prowess of the outlaw, but their acumen on the battlefield and ability to hide in plain sight are unrivaled. Some claim the art of subtlety looks like malevolent shadow magic—but no matter from where their power is derived, these rogues are capable of performing devastating assaults on their enemies, slipping away unharmed to strike again without detection. Most rogues train their entire lives to learn how to walk in the shadows—subtlety rogues were born there.[45]
Shaman
Shaman are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. The Void is capable of dominating and enslaving elementals.[46] One way for a shaman to become a dark shaman is to use the Void to control the elements.[7]
A group of dark shaman of the Warsong clan also began channeling Void energies near Oshu'gun in Nagrand, using the elements to channel the darkness of the void.[7] The dark shaman used Nether Beacons, powered from within the Twisting Nether itself, to connect to the void,[47] and hidden behind the veil of the Twisting Nether, the abominations of the void began marching upon Oshu'gun.[48]
Warlocks
Bildros Nullvoid: 'Fools are quick to dismiss what they don't understand as evil. I see what I do as a series of calculated risks in exchange for greater power and insight. Oh, with demons.'
Warlocks are magical practitioners who seek to understand darker, fel-based magics, including destructive spells.[49] Warlocks peer into the Void without hesitation, leveraging the chaos they glimpse within to devastating ends in battle. Their greatest abilities are fueled by the souls they've harvested from their victims and they exploit powerful shadow magic to manipulate and degrade the minds and bodies of their enemies. Affliction warlocks are masters of shadow-touched powers, but unlike shadow priests—deadliest when pushed to the brink of insanity—these warlocks delight in using fel forces to cause intense pain and suffering in others. They revel in corrupting minds and agonizing souls, leaving enemies in a state of torment that would see them undone in due time. Even the most battle-hardened warriors can be deceived, landing blow after blow against the warlock, only to succumb to their suffering as their very vitality is siphoned away by the dark spellcaster.[50]
By their very nature, demons are leeches on the living universe—but the demonologist has mastered harnessing the power of these malefic beings on the field of battle. Warlocks harvest the souls of their defeated enemies; those specialized in the ways of demonology use this life essence to tap into the Void, pulling all manner of abomination from the chaos of the Twisting Nether. While such a practice is often considered by outsiders to be wicked and reckless, the demonologist maintains absolute control over the summoned creatures. These malignant entities are fully beholden to—and empowered by—the will of the warlock, until banished to the realm from whence they came. Warlocks who command the power of destruction favor incantations of pure chaos and aggression in battle. In this regard, they'd find a stronger kinship with fire mages than warlocks of other disciplines—if not for their propensity to make use of magic deemed detestable by all mage orders. The destruction warlock is well-versed in discharging a dizzying array of shadow, fel, fire, and chaos magics upon opponents that rattle souls and conflagrate bodies. They require little motivation for the havoc they wreak, happy to revel in the destruction they cause—thrilled at any opportunity to watch the world erupt in discord around them.[50]
Organizations
The Church of the Light preaches against the Shadow, which the orcs were once strongly perceived to be creatures of.[51]Priests and paladins of this religion are known to condemn their foes with such epitaphs as 'shadowspawn' and 'spawn of darkness'.[52]
Cult of Forgotten Shadows
After the First War, Bishop Seline investigated the dark magic used by the orc necrolytes to raise their dead. Her studies became obsessed as she tried to discover why such energy existed at all and why she began to see the ebb and flow of it in the world around her. She began preaching about the necessity of balance between dark and light, but after her death, her books were locked away in the Kirin Tor's vaults in Dalaran.[43]
Her teachings, rediscovered by Forsaken priests during the capture of the Undercity, served as the theological base for the Cult of Forgotten Shadow. This cult uses the term 'Shadow' to refer to reality and believes that there must be balance between the wielders of holy and dark energies; because of that, they mostly manipulate the dark energies 'discovered' by Natalie Seline.[43]
Twilight's Hammer
Please add any available information to this section.
The Twilight Apocrypha states that in the beginning there was shadow eternal and implies the elements were born from it, and that the shadow is the 'world we know'. In the RPG
This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.
The Shadows are the dark, malevolent forces seeking the world's (or even the universe's) dissolution; the 'light' includes the virtuous, heroic forces preserving order and goodness. Their deeds and the powers they wield make up the stuff of legends.. if not myths.[53]
Shadow ascendants, followers of the Cult of the Forgotten Shadow, become one with this power as their physical form fades away. Some trolls revere these creatures as dark Loa.[54]
The Shadow Plane is an integral part of the universe, woven into every other plane of existence. It is from here that spells conjure shadow magic.[55] The arcane and shadow magic appear to be tied together.[56]

i watched a video on youtube with the whole chapter because i didn't remember what was the last quest i did was and i think i quit lvling before the 'The ritual of binding' quest. But i wasn't sure so i looked if i could see what are the quest that i completed and i found this :http://www.icy-veins.com/wow/completed-quests-checker which said that there are more quests that are incomplete even though i remember completed them and i am very curious at which quest i actually left the chapter.
Hey Felyria,
I would find a quest chain guide on a fansite and follow it through to see which, if any, NPCs offer you a quest, if you try this but are still lost on where to go then you can ask our support team, they may be able to see where you left it off. _____________________________________________________ Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tiogaradh
Go to the Throne of the Elements and get the quest 'Called to the Throne' from Drek'thar. If he doesn't offer it, check if you have completed all quests offered by Gor'rak.
Otherwise, check in Wor'var if Thrall offers the quest 'The Farseer Awaits' that has you speak to Drek'thar. Furthermore, in the fire area north of the Throne of the Elements, there is a flower inside a cave that offers a quest. If you haven't picked that one up, do so, as it is needed to obtain the quests required for the Nagrandeur achievement.
i found where i left off after following the guy in the video for 2 hours .. i didn't have a quest in the quest log it was the part when you watch somebody die after clicking on him .

How to Unlock the Void Elf Race
The World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth expansion is out on August 14, 2018 and with it, is the addition of a variety of allied races to play as. During the events on Argus, Alleria Windrunner, hero of the Alliance, became the first mortal to harness the powers of the void. From here she has worked to create one of these new allied races, the Void Elf.
To unlock the Void Elf race you will only have to complete three steps, though each will be more of a time investment than the last. The first requirement is to hit level 110 on an Alliance character. Spare being a Horde-only player, most should already have this one covered. This will also be required for getting to Argus, where you will continue your journey in unlocking this race.
The next requirement includes acquiring the achievement You Are Now Prepared. While this is a bit more time consuming than just getting to 110, it should be fairly simple for most players with experience in Legion’s end game content. Once you get to Argus you will just have to play through the main questline. This can be completed in roughly two to three hours.
Once you have completed the Argus storyline you will unlock new world quests. Now it is time to grind as you must become exalted with the Argussian Reach. This will require days, if not weeks, of grinding out reputation through world quests. To supplement this, you should spend some time on follower missions as you will occasionally be able to earn massive amounts of reputation from the Argussian Reach Insignia reward.
After this you will be able to head back to Stormwind and take part in a scenario. Here you will venture back to Argus and the void after which you will have unlocked the Void Elves as a playable race.
That does it for how to unlock the Void Elf in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Best of luck out there!

I've been doing the Nagrand story quest and i have been stuck for about an hour trying to figure out were to go next. I'm at 5/8 and the questlines i have left are: The Shadow of the Void, The Ring of Trials and The Dark Heart of Oshu'Gun. I've searched everywhere for the starting quests and can't find them. There are none on my map. And i have looked on Wowhead and others places to find them and could not. If anyone has any idea on what to do or some help that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. I have been looking for the beginning of the quest line and was stuck. Looking for Garak up on the mountain and the exclamation mark finally popped up. I thought I was going to go crazy looking for it.
OK I have done all the quests here at The Throne of Elements and gone back to where the orc is to be at and nothing is here just 2 tomb stones and a red flower. I have done everything already its the only part I need to do is The Shadow of the Void. Can anyone help me out plz
DO not abandond the quest. I did and cannot reacquire the quest.
lol it's been 1 year and this is still a problem.
Best Wow Interface
ok, i watched the orc die and float off with his lover, then talked to wind element.. watched the cutscene. isnt that supposed to be it?
ok, ive gone further and completed ogushun, but shadow of the void is still not complete. wtf?!
OK, the quest chain for the achievement is from the stones in the spirit woods.
It's more than just the sub-quests with Gar'rok .. after he passes on, you must return to the Throne of the Elements and undergo the ritual of binding. Complete all quests at the throne of the elements in order to continue the quest chain.
I made the same mistake, and am now getting back on track as I type this. im having trouble finding the quest chains for The Shadow of the Void and The Dark Heart of Oshu'gun in nagrad , in draenor. i found the npc (Shamonstone) for the void but he has no quest for me and the oshu one well the npc is just not there.i used wowhead so if its wrong can someone please help me out thanks.
Make sure instead of just going to the spirit woods, you FLY THERE from the NPC at the throne of
elements Go to throne of the elements likely you missed a few quests there like I did, because after 3 quests there I was sent to do the void quests.
I went to the Throne of Elements and there wasn't any quests available for me. I'm like the others before me. Only 2 quests keep me from achieving Draenor Pathfinder. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Finally found the stone in the Spirit Woods on my 110 Night Elf Hunter at around 46.83, 57.49. I had finished the Dark Heart of Oshu'gun quest line and came here to try and find answers about the Shadow of the Void line to no avail. :'( And the exclamation point wasn't showing up on my map anymore, so I logged into my rogue that hasn't touched Draenor at all and went to roughly where the ! was on HER map (sorta convoluted, I know, lol), put those coords in back on my hunter, and then sort of wandered until I realized 'hey, I'm in these Spirit Woods I remember being mentioned', and voila I stumbled upon a stone that had wind swirling around it, and when I hovered over it, there was the exclamation point! :) I know some of you were having trouble with it just not having the quest at all, but I figure for those of you having trouble just finding the NPC, hopefully that helps.. :)
WoW ! Thanx a ton Folks :=)
This information really helped my Wifey get this questline back on track Thanks Again
Just went to the spirit woods and was able to complete the Shadow of the Void.
