Appearance

Voidcallers are a type of voidwalker that look to be draped in old, rotting cloth.^{WoWtBCOSG 331} (note that the source of this description does not call them voidcallers, it just describes them and says it is a type of voidwalker.) Voidcallers are spell-casting voidwalkers. They carry over their draped shoulders two lanterns hanging from a glowing crystal-like structure that strongly resembles parts of a naaru. Their specific relationship with these celestial beings is unclear, although the naaru are known to be somehow linked to the Void through a life-and-death cycle.

Naaru-voidcaller relationship

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

• When a naaru dies, the light within them slowly bleeds away, leaving void energies in its place. These void energies draw in souls and turns them into creatures of the void while the naaru helplessly watches. This process of spawning these creatures is apparently necessary for, "without the void, the Light cannot exist".

• It may be that voidcallers are thus born from dying naaru. Voidcallers have been seen in Outland nearby the darkened naaru K'ure, and the crystalline constellation over their backs hint at a connection with the dying celestial creature. According to K'ure, a naaru's body turns from pure light into a vortex of dark energies when it dies, from where these voidcallers could possibly arise. Another example of this is in the Sunwell Plateau, when M'uru's naaru form is defeated, he transforms into a massive void god known as Entropius. Voidcallers and naaru may also be directly related, as they have naaru-like crystals on their backs.

• It is also possible that voidcallers are voidwalkers that have obtained these crystalline structures by feeding off the void energies of the dying naaru to empower themselves.
