Voidsent in North Thanalan

[Alleluia]

What’s the explanation behind them being there? We’ve got the ahrimen and.. whatever it is that’s going on with Dalvag. Is there a void gate in the area? Lingering Machi influence? Is it not a connection to the 13th, but instead is a result of Bahamut’s darkness aspected aether during Cartineau?

That last one would maybe explain Dalvag, since he’s seemingly an actual Immortal Flame from the calamity who is now a voidsent. Somehow. Tho it could just be a case of ppl thinking it’s Dalvag when it isn’t. Either way, he’s presented as a lingering ghost, which seems like it was the plan for voidsent at some point but technically isn’t anymore. Tho I suppose you could make the argument that the undying, body-optional inhabitants of the 13th who can’t enter the lifestream are essentially the same as ghosts.
