Bag of the Endless Void

The Bag of the Endless Void was introduced in The Rubion Sword, where it was held by Bendloyer Felkin. It doesn't hold anything (as Felkin explains, in a phrase that ended up on bumper stickers, T-shirts, and even cross-stitch patterns, "It's already full of an Endless Void; I don't think there's room for my matches as well!")

Felkin loans the bag to Gavment Rayling about halfway through the book (on the theory that you never know when you'll need an Endless Void), and the Bag of the Endless Void is then not mentioned for several books, presumably because Brahe forgot about it. It's next seen in The Hierarch Wars Begin, dangling from the belt of a tapdancing armoire. After the usual trials and tribulations, the Bag is lost forever . . . until The Glaivemistresses of Arvalyyon, when some scholars believe there is an attempt to describe the bag solely through an all-vowel tone poem.

In Wizbits Elemenstor Battle: The CCG, the Bag of the Endless Void was printed as an Alpha Uncommon in the Tales of the Wang Mountains expansion, and then unprinted in Melodies and Rhapsody.
