The Great Void was a dimension located outside the boundaries of the multiverse. It was originally composed of a single world, but after a series of events, it was shattered into countless pieces, giving the Void is current characteristics and shape. It was bordered by another plane of existence known as the Outer Void, from where the entities known as the Void Creatures come from. At the time of Harry Potter's arrival, the Void was in its seventh generation of factions, and was governed by the interfactional organization known as the Great Conference.
