Beforans be like "The Child of Omelas loves it though deep down!"
YOU GET IT.
The abandoned building sat deep in the woods, where the trees grew so close together they seemed to whisper behind one another's backs. A woman with dark hair and a faded red jacket stood before it at dusk. The structure might once have been a lodge or a factory. Time had gnawed away any clues. Broken windows stared out from the walls like empty eye sockets. She stepped inside. The floor groaned beneath her boots. Dust drifted through shafts of fading light. Rooms opened into other rooms with no clear purpose, and every hallway seemed slightly longer than it should have been. A sound echoed somewhere above her. Not a footstep. Not a voice. Just a soft scrape. She called out, half expecting an animal to bolt from the darkness. Nothing answered. The deeper she went, the quieter the forest outside became. Soon she could no longer hear the wind. Then she noticed something strange. The building seemed larger. A hallway she didn't remember stretched ahead. A doorway stood where a solid wall had been moments before. The scrape came again. Closer. She turned toward it. For a moment, her flashlight caught movement in the darkness beyond the doorway. Something pale. Something shifting. The beam flickered. When the light steadied, there was nothing there. The woman took a cautious step forward. Then another. The flashlight slipped from her hand and clattered across the floor. Its beam spun wildly, illuminating empty walls, empty halls, empty rooms. And then it stopped. The doorway was gone.

One Beforan Empress it's the same as any other. Practically begging to get turned to bllackened Ash by the most powerfull Ordinance one can muster. I see you, I know what you are. Weak.
VERMIN, VERMIN, EVERYWHERE, AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
Can you feel it? The encroaching darkness? The void calls to you. Relentless. Tireless. It asks for you, but its patient. And will wait until you are at your absolute weakest. Before it takes you. And it will take you. As it will take everything in existence. Immortal or no, the void will wait until eternity ends. Until time runs out. Until each moment passes until there is nothing left. Just you. And it. The Void beckons you and asks for everything. Hungry and quiet it watches and waits. Will you answer the call?
