I believe it's a single thing mostly, maybe not an ocean necessarily, but something that has spread through tunnels in the ground and so. I do believe it's in every kingdom, the HK hunter's notes on the shade suggest that the void might be something that's some sort of left over from all bugs.
Probably yes, void might have not always been there, or perhaps not as plentiful, and I reject hollow planet ideas so.
No, and iirc team cherry said that HK took place all in a cave, so even Dirthmouth wouldn't be part of the surface (though perhaps close, if we are to assume Silksong's surface is actually a surface and the color scheme means something). Oh wait, I think you are talking about the surface of the void... I suppose it would mostly be since liquids do that, but that personally bothers me, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some separate "oceans" of void, but still not too far from one another that void creatures can still go from one to the other if they desire, unclear.
They are void given form, if we are to believe the game. I assume void has a "limited" ability to turn into something, but it clearly can be molded into something else, the tendril might just be its default shape when it stops being liquidy.
Hmmm I interpreted this as the king, the while lady and hornet, to an extent it might even extend to the siblings since the flower doesn't seem to repel void just by tough (the knight holds it fine) but by aggression. Pale beings seem rather selfish from one another (radiance and the pale king) so I doubt she talks about the pale beings in general, she would probably say "our kind" or something like that.
As I said I think void comes from regular bugs, Jiji mentions regrets, so perhaps it's something like their twisted, regretful soul when they die, idk, but I don't think its creation is tied to the creation of pale beings. That said, pale beings being the reason so many bugs just die from left to right may or may not increase the spread of void?
You just gave me a fascinating idea with your last point! What if the City of Steel can somehow harness Void as energy, almost like burning oil?
We know that either Pale or higher beings are generally under the influence of the Masters of the Steel NPCs, and we know that Pale beings have a natural inclination towards ruling over bugs by taking over whole kingdoms. We also know that Steel NPCs have some limited control over the Void through magic, e.g. being able to summon it.
What if the whole cycle (Pale being arrives in kingdom, takes over, eventually causes ruin & regret) is wanted, or even caused, by the City of Steel?
