DOS2:Source

Source is a powerful energy that can be harnessed by Sourcerers. Although none can claim to know its origins with certainty, the longstanding historical record states that in the beginning was the Source...

'We've used Source for thousands of years. We have used it to heal - to grow. How can it be that it suddenly summons these... these horrors from the Void?'

— Rezik

Overview

Before gods and planes and existence itself, there was Source: the fundamental building blocks from which all possibilities could form. Its opposition - which was destruction and nothingness, the absence of all meaning - was Void. These two forces counteracted each other through balance and friction. Yet, eventually, for reasons still unfathomable to mere mortals, Source and Void began seeping into planes. It was from this imbalance, where Source thrived and flourished and surpassed Void, that meaning and life could take hold. And so formed Rivellon, a world so remarkable that even deities can abruptly actualize.
