The Veil

 

The Veil is a living, sentient and very closely connected to the use of stealth and magic in the “outter” world. It’s connection with dragons was also hinted at. A very mysterious being which gives another dimension to the Great War and exists in the space between this world and that of the Emissaries.

 

Facts about the Veil

 

• The Veil is very sensitive to magic, and great concentration of it - usually cause by bigger battles - can easily trigger a Veilstorm.

• The Veil is the natural ambient and the scene for the endless battles of the stealth classes of Camelot Unchained.

• The first breaking of the world happened when the Veil was pierced, and it responded violently.

• The Veil reacted to the piercing by creation the devastating Veilstorms, some culmination into cataclysmic Malevolences that destroyed the known world or changed its surviving residents to new races or abominations.

• As a living thing, the Veil seems to respond with emotion, though it is also a part of the fabric of reality.

 

Veilstorm

 

Veilstorms are more than simply bad weather days; these storms can bring both destructive power and chaotic change to the lands that they sweep across. A Veilstorm is the result of too much magic flowing from one side of the Veil into our world, and the most powerful storms can culminate into a Malevolence - like the ones that tore apart the old world leaving only the shattered remains.

Since the Veil is very sensitive to magic, high concentrations of it - typically happening during big battles - can trigger a Veilstorm, or perhaps even a Malevolence.

 

Effects of Veilstorms

 

• Can be extremely varied.

• Devastated the world when the Veil was pierced.

• Winds, rain, and destructive magic.

• Not always pure destruction, but nobody welcomes their coming even with the occasional good fortune that can arise.

• The frequency of these storms has decreased over the years as “The Three” and their armies have stabilized small parts of the world.

• In gameplay, a Veilstorm may have an effect on spellcasters, such as changing the power of spell cast, altering its basic nature, harming the casters, and lots more.

 

Effects of a Malevolence

 

• The worst Veilstorms are called Malevolences

• Malevolences carry dark magic that can literally transform the world and its inhabitants, reshaping their form and reality

• They were more frequent during the Age of Becoming, and helped to create many of the races of the world in Camelot Unchained

• Most often, the Malevolences do not cause positive changes, sometimes turning it`s victims into mindless Abominations
