Previous void lore made sense to me...
Care to explain the stuff on manifestation being dependent on collective unconsciousness and the non-collapsing superpositions then? :P
Or how the anti-thesis of creation can enter creation on free-will before Nodoka was born, somehow making a gate which stopped just that.
I can hazard a guess to that at the very least. A Gatekeeper is practically a demigod, being born out of the very soul of the void (who I shall call the Destroyer for now as to remove ambiguity). Because the other party involved has a soul of Creation, the resultant Gatekeeper has some residual control involving Creation. This is something the Destroyer does not have as it would be otherwise against his very nature.

Consequently, due to this residual control, the Gatekeeper though not as powerful, can influence something the Destroyer cannot: movement to and from Creation. Essentially, the Gatekeeper's birth is not what created the Gate. It is the fact that the Gatekeeper has power that extends further than the Destroyer and possesses enough control (it is a demigod after all) to overpower any attempts by void entities to circumvent it's gate.

As for why the Gate formed with it's birth, I would presume that much like how the Creator and Destroyer's abilities are always active, one of the Gatekeeper's abilities, it's namesake, is active by default. It needed to develop and learn until it could use the mortal aspect of it's soul to deactivate the Gate.

Even then, it's father, the Destroyer wanted to restrict traffic to and from Creation anyway, hence why the Gate continues to restrict movement, albeit allowing some people with the right credentials to pass.

I read the lore on Wall Street, what little there was.

I paused.

I read it again.

I got my brain bleach and decided to proceed as if it didn't exist, because that is far easier than anything else, and less likely to give me migraines.

So can anybody make up new dimensions in twilight and stuff?

Because I'd like if there were some less grimdark or utterly alien(in the way that kills people, at least) dimensions out there. That'd be nice.
There's the stuff based on models of the human psyche by @Elf

Why would the Destroyer want to restrict traffic when it wants to well.. destroy? It seems strange that the anti-thesis of creation wants to not attack creation.

He personally doesn't want to destroy Creation. His realm does. Would he really want to destroy his twin/lover's realm? Obviously not.

Before the gate, he had no control over what his realm did to Creation. Now he does, with the gate. And with someone (Ashley) that can live inside Creation without being only temporary (like any void being SHOULD be, except those that are summoned), he can still allow balance between Creation and Void.

He doesn't. I just call him the Destroyer due to his diametric opposition to Shy'sm Caes, the Creator. His actual name is Void, but that causes so much damn ambiguity and whatnot, I never refer to him as that.

Also, it's (ironically) the Creator that is the kill-crazy nutjob. The Destroyer is her more level-headed little twin brother / archnemesis / ex-boyfriend.

Same reason the anti-thesis of the moon doesn't try to destroy it. That, and the reason the anti-thesis of Destruction doesn't want to create destruction. Although that's just a matter of double negatives and what not.

Also, what place do eldritch entities(not abominations, I mean eldritch as in you can't really comprehend them they're too different) come from, excepting the Void?

They aren't evil or anything. They're too different to be measured in such terms.

Blue and Orange Morality, and even zsfsdfst and jlbiukjn physics.

So he's not evil, then.

Other Place is pretty eldritch. I should probably now disclose that it is Twilight/Void.

Hmmm...

Again, is anyone allowed to think of new dimensions/planes that exist in Twilight?

Yes. Go ahead, as long as it doesn't fit in Creation or Void, otherwise it would be something inside one of those.

The Destroyer, as Emp has called him, is not evil. Quite the opposite.

Hmmm.

Because Leth is supposed to have made some Contracts with some o' those guys.

That was the basis for about half his shit, really, all the Dimensional stuff and the non-demonic summonings.

Because every man kills the thing he loves. The coward with a kiss. The brave man with a sword.
