[Crescents]

Somehow I don't think we would ever be able to go into the voidsent realm, I mean everyone tends to have a panic attack whenever even a low tier voidsent mistakenly crosses to Eorzea... Besides VA we never really see many differing kinds (ignoring the very dumb theory people keep telling me of how auri are part voidsent) so if SE wanted to be disingenuous and say oh we cross over but somehow just encounter moderately low level voidsent what luck! I don't think it would happen and it kind of seems like bad writing.

Pretty sure the World of Darkness was part of the Void, givin that the whole point there was to bring all of Eorzea/the world into the Void and all that.

I suppose this depends on where Diabolos took Scathach's coffin. He went through a void gate but whether he actually fled to the void or merely used it as a means to get to somewhere else in Eorzea was left ambiguous. If we were to end up chasing them into the void we'd run the risk of things being a little too similar to the Crystal Tower saga. I think ultimately we will have to end up at the Yafaem Saltmoor but how things lead us that way I honestly couldn't guess.

Didn't the devs confirm that the Au Ra actually are indeed part voidsent? The horns are meant to emulate the succubus look. Originally people thought they were part dragonkin but this was categorically shot down, with the voidsent connection implied instead.

The World of Darkness is indeed the void as well, with the Cloud of Darkness being one of the rulers, and Scathach apparently being another.

Not at all. They said they were going to go with a dragon motif at first, but then changed to a voidsent motif later. Their look is themed on voidsent, but no statement has been made on them actually being related to them, except by aesthetics.

Cloud of Darkness is probably a second tier voidsent, likely one of the middle nobles. Scathach, though, they call a Voidsent Queen (like Lilith is mentioned to be in the BLM relic storyline), so she might actually be a top tier voidsent.

Nope. The Cloud of Darkness card states she's "one of the undisputed rulers of the void" and she "occupies the highest rung of the hierarchy of twelve". Scathach also almost certainly is there as well, and maybe even Diabolos (though he may be in the second).

Ah! Thank you. I've yet to get my hands on her card, so I was missing that helpful bit of lore.

To be fair, it's a standard RPG trope for the easier enemies to be in the areas a player is introduced to first. So yeah, we cross over and just happen to encounter low-level voidsent, just like we exit the town gates at the start of the game and just happen to encounter low level mobs. Sure, level 49 Garleans may be less than a 5 minute walk away, but that doesn't mean the newbies have to worry about running into them!

And, in this case, the easy-mobs-first is built right into the Voidsent lore! Different Voidsent occupy different rungs in the Void heirarchy, with the most minor Voidsent (stuff like Deepeyes) in the lower rungs and major foes (like Diabolos) in the upper. As long as we punch through the Void in areas where the lower-rung mobs hang out, there's no reason to believe that top-rung mobs are going to be there, as well. They've got more important things to do than hang around in the Voidslums with the Bombs and Puddings.
