In the mystic tapestry of Howling Hills, a collaborative effort between non-magical and magical beings birthed The Veil. A delicate dome, it gracefully enfolds major cities, havens, and villages worldwide. Unseen until illuminated just right, it resembles a thin, shiny soap bubble.
This ethereal shield is more than a spectacle; it's a testament to the united effort protecting inhabitants from The Corrupt. It filters ambient magic, extracting 'corruption/taint,' standing as a silent guardian in the vast canvas of Howling Hills.
THE VEIL
Amidst Howling Hills, Supernaturals tread carefully. In crowded public spaces, it's advised to refrain from assuming full form for your safety from HAVOC, DOOM, and others who may wish you harm. While allowed, especially in densely populated areas, making anything unusual on the body appear as a modification is a compromise to avoid drawing unwanted attention to yourself. However, in different sectors of Howling Hills, you may find more daring individuals embracing their full form at times, taking calculated risks. Moreover, an undercurrent of fear persists among some, linking magic as the root cause of The Corrupt and the harbinger of city downfall.
THE RISK
Even under The Veil's wings, an ominous shadow, The Cursed, looms. Wielding too much power risks corruption. Depleted magical energy and attempts to harness powers become precarious. The natural magic filter falters with exhaustion, witnessing unavoidable corruption. As users tread exhaustion's path, the risk elevates, casting a daunting shadow on those wielding depleted magic.
THE CURSED
Beyond The Veil, our world is ravaged by untamed magic. Magic outside the Veil is a lethal gamble, drawing The Corrupt to concentrated areas. Approaching the edge weakens the Veil's protection, risking encounters with supernatural threats and unpredictable manifestations of corrupted magic. It's a delicate dance between safety and the chaos just beyond.
