I'm creating a world for my DnD campaign. And I would love it to be a complete world which I perfectly understand (a daunting task, I know, we will see how I do). Therefore I wanted to start at the beginning...
And that's where the problem arose. The beginning of the universe is somewhat incomprehensible for us mere humans. Even if The Big Bang is a thing it does not describe where all the stuff comes from. That's what I'm interested in.
The easiest solution is to say that everything always existed and avoid the question. Then the inevitable conflict between nothing and something (everything) begins.
Now is the time to ask the question: "What is the opposite of The Void?"
If we have a fancy name for the nothingness, The Void, what is the fancy name for the everything?
I have found my answer but I am curious what you guys can come up with.

I’m relatively new to this genre and, along with “spellswords” being commonly flagged as an overused trope, I also see “void” magic / powers / abilities etc. fall under this category. But what actually… is it? What sorts of things does it enable the MC to do?
Is the people with this type of power just that it’s so overused? Or is more so that it’s usually not done well?
I know logically people would say the light, but honestly, to me, the light seems weak to the void. Naaru get turned into void naaru, the sunwell is in danger of becoming the void well, but we almost never see void beings or power sources get flipped back into light sources (it does happen, but it seems more rare).
Similarly the void has seemed effective at corrupting arcane and life. We've seen the old gods corrupt titan constructs, dragon aspects, and wild gods. We've also seen the void corrupt the elements.
What we haven't seen is the void corrupt death or fel. The void famously invaded the shadowlands and was repelled by the kyrians, nothing got corrupted. Fel seems to be just as corruptive as void, so it seems like void cant "override" fel.
But what do you think is the most effective magic to counter the void?
