Void Lords: How do you want them to look?

[3DTyrant]

I don't want to be able to fully see them, at all. Tiny glimpses, like Hermaeus Mora from Elder Scrolls Skyrim, just a ball of shadowy portal-y...ness (or a portal like thing with a mass amount of tentacles from the Dragonborn DLC) or a giant rip in time and space of the universe showing an eye from the other side or something. So yeah, I really don't think showing their physical form in any way, even an avatar of them, is a good idea, it gives a face to a greater evil, and it just I don't know, it just makes them feel lesser than what they are given they can't quite manifest into our universe properly.

You know the Nothing from The Neverending Story?
Like that, in that you can't gaze at it. There is nothing. Just a void. And it devours worlds.

[Selastan]

Oh! I got it!

[Magical Mudcrab]

I don't want to see their true forms at all. However, I would assume that Void Lords would manifest in similar ways to Voidlords and Void gods do; black, amorphous masses that seek out and consume matter. I doubt they would have the sheer size and grandeur of Old Gods, as their entire purpose was to corrupt the nascent Titans within planets... they're large because their target is large.

[Al Gorefiend]

Incomprehensible. No shape or size. Blizzard needs to invent a new color and a new shape just to do them justice.

[TheAmazingFeedz]

Wrong the void lords should look nothing like the existing old gods.
Let me explain why.

Basicly the old gods are parasites that are have been shot in to the universe to plague it.
There hundreds of them maybe thousands not only the ones on azeroth.

Therefor if you go by your logic there should be only 4 Void lords.
While that might be true this also means all the other planets infested with old gods have the same or similar OG's like azeroth.
And that just makes for bad lore and plain utterly simple story.

There is always some one higher on the food chain no matter if you like it or not this is how our world works and azeroth while fantasy world is based on the same principles.

Well, what I meant was that just because there are only the 4 corresponding Old Gods on Azeroth, doesn't mean there are moore on other planets. They could be 20 Void Lords with their corresponding Old Gods, however I only used the ones on Azeroth as an example.

[Murlocbait]

We should see only a tiny aspect of one Void Lord as a dark, four-dimensional shape. For example, here's a 4D cube:

It should be massive, and as it moves and shifts, the angles and shape of it seem to alter and change in ways that break the rules of three-dimensional reality. Would be weird to look at, rather disorienting, and ultimately represent the unfathomable nature of them.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

They should be us except they wear cowboy hats.

Speaking of Void Lords, this little quote might vaguely reference them.

New Xal'atath quote:

I know the naaru consider us horrors to be resisted. We do not share this view. They are merely beloved brethren that lost the true path. They will return to their masters... in time.

Which is pretty interesting and would explain why Naaru that "die" convert into a chaotic void form.

The question is how did they become light to begin with, if their void form is their true forms?

So the Naaru and Void Lords are two sides of the same coin?

Holy shit.

[The Stormbringer]

I want to see a massive rift in the center of a black hole, with hints of something indescribably immense staring or reaching out from the other side. I want the brief glimpses of their form to suggest bizarre shapes that can only loosely be compared to various animals with which we're more familiar. On top of that, they should all be very different in form.

I want to see a crooked "serpent" with no eyes and a black "goat" with seven. I want them to be watching us ominously from the beyond, as they use their incredible power to reshape or create things that they hurtle through to our reality.

I like it.

Well, we need to keep in mind that it's got a very biased perspective. The most interesting part here is more the "beloved" part. Whether it's trying to mislead us with half-truths or lies, the implication is that this particular Void being doesn't hate them at all.

So the Naaru and Void Lords are two sides of the same coin?

Holy shit.

No. The Void Lords are the "masters" to which the Naaru will return.

[Kardagh]

Black silhouettes of the player model.

How can we possibly fathom something -outside- the physical universe? Have them as eerie hollow shapes of the player and that adds a creep factor of 10

[Skeppio]

No. The Void Lords are the "masters" to which the Naaru will return.

Gotta say, I'm a little bit spooped right now...

[Deleted]

Abstract shapes and bizarre formations, something incomprehensibly alien which we can't really fully grasp the nature of. Kinda like if a third dimensional being reached into a two-dimensional space.. with facets that we simply do not have the faculties to process.

[KrakHed]

Well, I have no idea how they'd look, but I assume they're WoW's Qlippoths.
