Dimensius the All-Devouring is one of the Void lords, monstrous entities composed of pure shadow energy who rule over the Void, outside the borders of reality. He is responsible for the destruction of the ethereal homeworld of K'aresh.[1]
History
How Dimensius found K'aresh is still hotly debated among the surviving ethereals, but the effects of his coming were unmistakable: he opened countless gateways into the Void around the planet, bathing K'aresh in dark energies and darkening its twin suns. His invasion would begin in earnest and be declared the Devouring War by the native K'areshi.[2]
The K'areshi hastily attempted to construct magical barriers around their cities, powered by the Reshii Ribbons which could convert all forms of energy, including the Void, into arcane. Although the dark energies were blocked, the prolonged exposure of arcane energy from the shields tore away the K'areshi's corporeal shells and infused their souls with enough energy to transform them into energy beings. This altered state proved to be a blessing in disguise, however, as their enhanced minds and magical abilities allowed the ethereals to fight Dimensius and his limited forces to a standstill. Over the years, however, Dimensius eventually grew powerful enough to summon armies of fellow void creatures, forcing the K'areshi to flee into the Twisting Nether and Shadowlands, becoming ethereals and brokers.[3][4] Pandemonius served Dimensius as one of his commanders during the assault on K'aresh.[5]
The Ethereum, a faction of ethereals that were once the ruling class on K'aresh, vowed vengeance upon Dimensius and have been tracking it ever since.[6]
Dimensius at some point also attacked a world named Karkora. The naaru T'uure arrived to defend its inhabitants and expended its own life force to save Karkora's people. It shattered into fragments, releasing a massive holy nova that washed away the void and banished Dimensius from the world.[7]
The Burning Crusade
During the invasion of Outland in 26 ADP, the ethereals were able to confront a fragment of Dimensius, left over from the destruction of K'aresh.[8] Atop Manaforge Ultris in Netherstorm, laid a tear in the nether through which Dimensius had come, providing with a link to the Void, and rendering him immune to physical harm. An ethereal by the name of Professor Dabiri enlisted adventurers to get a lock on the conduit that Dimensius was using to keep himself phased out and then destroy it.[9] These actions forced Commander Ameer of the Protectorate to react. He deployed Captain Saeed and the Avengers who, with help from the adventurers, were able to confront Dimensius and prevent the void lord from unleashing destruction on the already fragile broken world of Outland.[10][11]
The War Within
Deep within Manaforge Omega, Dimensius is slowly waking as his devoted ethereal followers use the Dark Heart to give him sustenance. If they succeed, they will unleash a being of unfathomable power that could destroy the very fabric of reality.[12]

Notes
- At the height of the Black Empire, Dimensius gave the staff Voidsong, an incredibly ancient weapon, to Xal'atath the Harbinger of the Void.[13][14]
- During TBC, he was categorized as a demon in-game.
[Fragment of Dimensius] were looted from void creatures around Manaforge Ultris to destroy the conduit keeping him phased out of existence.- It was originally stated by Ask CDev that Dimensius' attack on K'aresh had him opening portals into both the Void and Twisting Nether, attacking the K'areshi with both shadow and arcane energies. Though the K'areshi were able to block the shadow energies the arcane got through, which is what turned them into the ethereals.[3] In The Doom of K'aresh, he is depicted as only assaulting the planet with the Void, and the K'areshi's transformation was due to prolonged exposure to their own arcane shields rather than something Dimensius did.
