Lore talk:Shade

Void

This article focuses far too much on Namira and not enough on the Void. Whatever religious connotations the Dark Heart might have with Namira and Lorkhan, it is made quite explicit that Shades are souls which have been lost to the Void in the traditional sense of the word, as defined by Gwendis and the Rites Matron:

"Look, I'm no scholar. I barely believe in this stuff and I hardly understand it. But the Void is the place outside the places. The darkness beyond Mundus and Oblivion."

"Voidstuff. From between places. Some witches of the Reach wish to control it, empower themselves with its energy. They transform into a voidmother, like you saw."

Another quote, from Verandis:

"Like the souls of Markarth that the Heart consumed, a part of me is caught within the Void."

The way you reworded it is fine. Keeps the base belief, and the reachmen belief intact.Zebendal (talk) 23:20, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
