"If a man dies in battle, but no one remembers his courage, was he ever truly alive?" This famous quote, attributed to the Windsword, Captain Travis, during a battle with mysterious Wizards in the mountains near Stonehelm, is thought by most to be simply a call to honour and remembrance of those fallen in war. A closer reading of his journal reveals that Travis said these words after having battled an Avatar of the Void. "I saw my men attack a tremendous and murky shadow, and as each fell, I could no longer remember so much as their names." Avatars of the Void are not sentient, and therefore cannot be considered evil nor acting upon some nefarious motive. They are more like a shadowy stain spewed upon the fabric of reality. As it grows and expands, it effaces all that it touches; uncreating objects, souls, and even memories.OffBck

Tactic[]
It does not make sense before the fight to make a huge army, because a limited army with a particular combination appears (100 black dragons; 100 celestials; 100 fate weavers; 100 spectral dragons; 100 Sacred Kirins; 100 phoenixes). During the battle, this army does not suffer from the usual morale decrease from faction differences. The hero's attacks activate the "Curse of Oblivion" ability before all turns, that the real damage let the boss be unable to prevent it. The melee creatures may not make something else, than stand the boss, yet if the effect of the "Dark Mirror Shards" ability cannot be avoided with this. The Void Rift Crack is avoidable if the stacks moves away from there. The "Void Gate" ability is a trap and it is possible to destroy it similarly to the Gating's portals. When severely injured (below ~15% Health), the boss use "Circle of the Void" ability that let him heal himself. It is necessary to attack it under this because he may recover the (approximately) half of his maximum Health.
Useful abilities:
- Evasive Maneuvers; Stand Your Ground, Mass; Stone Skin, Mass (to reduces damage)
- Regeneration, Mass (to heals creatures)
- Weakness (reduce the boss' damage for all scource by half)
- Reinforcements (increase number of target stack)
