In ShB, they explained that original assumptions about the nature of light and dark were reversed: light is stagnation and stasis, while dark is mutation and change. So while the Empty was a result of aether being completely stilled to the point that everything turned to white dust, the Void seems to be a warped and twisted world where everyone and everything has mutated into something grotesque. In 6.1, they also speculate that because the Flood of Light never fully completed on the First, whatever final change or destruction was going to happen never occurred there, unlike on the Thirteenth. So far, it seems like the Thirteenth has shattered into an asteroid belt made of continents floating over a dark abyss.
