[All Patrons] The Sphere of Annihilation

Added 2025-04-11 21:23:24 +0000 UTC

This historical review of the Sphere of Annihilation is included in the Broadsword Guide to the Negative Energy Plane, now on Backerkit.

Before they were called Spheres of Annihilation, they were known only as black balls—drifting, devouring fragments of non-being that predate even the gods. They are not artifacts in the traditional sense, but scars upon reality, relics from a time when the universe was still forming, still failing. This section traces their mythic origin, their transformation into weapons of will, and the terrible legacy left behind by those who sought to control them. Whether they are cosmic antibodies, remnants of an ancient imbalance, or something far worse, one thing is certain: they do not belong, and they do not forget.
