I called this quest “A Void” not “The Void” as a reference to the
English translation of a novel by Georges Perec (original French title:
« La Disparition »). This novel (which I have never read) is notably
written without using the letter ‘e’: a difficult task considering it is
the most frequently-used letter in both French and English.

My original description for the quest followed the same constraint:

Our protagonist bolts from a growing blank that rolls across this
land, stifling and consuming all that it cloaks.

In commit 67fe109 the description was
rewritten to be more legible & less awkward-sounding – a good change!
Change the title to the less-awkward “The Void” to match.
