With void beings being extinct, is it because the Pale Beings committed genocide on them or some other tragedy?

Oh, nope, not at all! They were already rare as is, and their numbers were already declining though nobody understood why exactly. I don't think they were hunted to extinction exactly but it was more of a final nail in the coffin for them, and it wasn't by pale beings either but rather from all kinds of higher beings who were afraid of them.

Idk, might change it later so they were hunted to extinction, but I wouldn't call it like...intentional genocide? I feel like genocide implies some level of organisation and intent with it, where there was none. Some higher beings who were already more prone to violence and whose instinct is already to be territorial as hell just reacted violently to a perceived threat.

Edit: Alright I looked it up just to be sure, I suppose you could see it as genocide? Though it wasn't just pale beings and it wasn't organised, you could probably classify it as one as some higher beings did intentionally hunt down void beings. Wasn't my intent but ah well. Might change that then, because I dunno how to feel about the genocidal implications of that.
