The Voidsea
'One of the earliest records we have of the Voidsea refer to it as 'Outer Space'. As far as names go, it's appropriate, I suppose - They thought of 'Space' as being 'outside' their worlds, but the truth is the opposite - We are always within it. Our worlds are but islands within the Voidsea.' - Captain Abyss-Breach, 17th Century of the Valhallan Age
Everything that exists is within the Voidsea.
Both an environment of endless nothingness, and home to terrors and wonders beyond compare, the Voidsea is the term used to describe the vastness within which everything from Void Islands to Stars, to Nebula and Black Holes are found within. These celestial bodies have numbers so high as to be uncountable - Trillions upon trillions, are the least. Yet the space between them all is an expanse of nothingness.
This nothingness is what is referred to as the Voidsea.
Terminology
In previous eras, it has been known by many different names - Outer Space, the Black, the Ether, the Void, the Expanse, the Nothingness.
The change in terminology often comes down to a change in perception of what the Voidsea precisely is, and ones place within it. Most cultures that have not left their home Void Island typically refer to the Voidsea being something "out" of their world. As they develop Voidsea travel, they begin to think of their world as being "within" the Voidsea, and adopt a new name, better reflecting this revelation.
'Voidsea' typically refers to the vacuum between celestial bodies. The term is therefore, often used interchangeable with 'Universe', or 'Cosmic Tide', as these all refer to the same thing.
