Confronting the Void

In unraveling the philosophy behind “Leomorn Sword” and its sequels, we encounter the enigmatic Void Lord Malaev, a figure of unparalleled chaos and consequence. Malaev’s presence looms ominously, instilling fear with his perversion of light and corruption of reality. Laenai Gladomain’s decisive action to confine Malaev within the “Forbidding” reflects her prioritisation of self-interest and protection of her chosen people. Yet, her actions serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of avoidance and the reluctance to confront inner turmoil. As the Gladomain family’s legacy intertwines with political and religious authority, questions of accountability and familial responsibility arise. Malaev embodies existential nihilism, challenging notions of meaning and purpose. In Lauron’s journey, themes of choosing life and embracing existence offer a contrasting narrative rooted in existentialism. While the trilogy delves into profound philosophical concepts, it leaves players with lingering questions, epitomising the complexity of human existence.
