It might also explain why the tower continues to radiate its ominous aura even in absence of Anima if void shenanigans are involved somehow.
I really think this will turn out to be the case. I'm predicting we will go back to Garlemald in 6.x and investigate the tower, and eventually his voidsent. Honestly think Zenos himself (maybe with the avatar, maybe not) could be in the void/13th now. Maybe we will have a void themed expansion later on. In the most recent interview, Yoshi P said "we fight against the void in other games, so maybe that will happen in 14" (something along those lines) so I'm VERY sure on this now.
