A great many people of the 4th Age maintain a strong religious culture. Whether it be in the smaller spirits of orcish totems or the grand pantheon of humans. Indeed it is not at all uncommon to see people who have converted to foreign religions, or even study many at once. Furthermore, many cultures are suspicious of atheistic ideas, and it is certainly taboo to suggest that gods may not exist, or lack the properties their devotees believe in. Even in the most progressive gnome communities, where science and rational thought are very strong, there is still a great value in dedication toward a greater philosophy. However, the 4th Age is also proud of its less superstitious approach to religion. Fewer people claim to have direct communication with their gods, or to be witness to great miracles outside of the magic of healing. Even those people who wish to discuss the nature of gods often operate from the assumption that they are not physical, tangible, or fallible entities, but rather are great cosmic forces that work through events on scales far beyond mortal comprehension.

Voidwatch was one of the largest and most well-funded international organizations, and experienced in battling strange magic, so they proposed an ambitious if somewhat esoteric solution, which was to isolate Blimnor from all other planes of existence. While the majority of people involved in the decision understood little of what precisely these supposed planes of existence were, a great number of religious leaders were strongly opposed to this action, believing that it might cut off their connection to their deities. However, with the terrors of the Void fresh in the public's mind, the project was approved, and with even more funding, resources, and recruits, Voidwatch began their crusade.

According to Voidwatch's records, this conflict lasted several decades, involving numerous secretive task forces seeking and targeting various rifts connecting Blimnor to these other alternate worlds. Sometimes through hostile incursions through the rift, or long complex rituals surrounding them, or through the banishment of monsters keeping their rift open, these planes of existence were systematically cut off, their creatures destroyed, and magics dispelled.

Today, our isolation from these worlds is hardly noticed, some conspiracy theories suggest that Voidwatch may have invented the threats to justify their continued funding. And indeed, task forces still exist and travel the world to tackle supposed new rifts opened by anomalous events or malicious cults. Voidwatch keeps a record of the status of each of these planes, though it is not available to the public.
