===Legend===

The Dark Cloud of the Void is a being who reside in the dark void between the planes, in a state of essential nonexistence. When awakened it is said that she take the form of a beautiful woman made of dark spiraling clouds. It is also she said she was able to take a much more humanoid form, a form that she used when visiting the material plane. The Dark Cloud of the Void hates existence and wishes nothing more than to plunge everything into oblivion. However being unable to do so she instead constantly "sleeps" and let thousand of years pass by between her disorganized thoughts.

One day the creature was awoken from it slumber, by a monarch who sought power. He entered her realm using ungodly magic and sought an audience with her. The Awoken Cloud agreed to grant the king power for one-hundred years, but after doing so she would manifest and utterly destroy the land he conquered. She hoped that he would conquer the material plane and beyond so she could obliterate all of it. The greedy King agreed to the pact, figuring he would be dead by then and he only lusted for earthly power. The King conquered and ruled, however to his dismay he did not grow old. As time passed he became afraid of the dark pact he made, so afraid he made mistakes and lost his kingdom.

When a hundred year passed the Dark Cloud of the Void came to this dimension, finding a landless king curled in a corner. She completely obliterated the corner he stood in and dragged the screaming king in the depth of her own dark dimension. No one truly know what happened to the king afterward.

It is possible for binder to bind the vestigial remains of the king and his pact, and in doing so indirectly bind the Dark Cloud of the Void.

===Special summoning===

The binder must provide a genuine crown for binding the Dark Cloud of the Void. It may be a powerful magical crown or as simple as a well-crafted laurel. There is no real minimal value to the crown except that it must be genuine.

===Manifestation===

A dark rift open before the binder and shadowy tendrils slowly extent out of it. They surround the binder without touching him or her, and once the pact is made they hastily retract into the rift which closes.

===Sign===

The binder is energized by the power beyond, she now look like she did as a young adult at her prime. However her shadow grows tendrils and make minor movements by itself.

===Influence===

The Binder seek conquest and power, she will take what she think she deserve, take control of people she love and will crave earthly power. The Binder also become extremely afraid of final death and the Dark Cloud of the Void itself, gaining the [[Fear of Oblivion (3.5e Flaw)|Fear of Oblivion]] flaw with no bonus feat. If she already possessed the flaw she become [[SRD:Frightened|frightened]] instead of At Bay.

===Granted Abilities===
