VEIL 'THE VEIL' (2293)
Disturbances during the Age of Chaos resulted in a mighty rift to break between
the Prime Material Plane and the Plane of Magic, above the Vault of Nyastren
in the Sea of Despair. While the beginning of the Fourth Age ultimately sealed
this rift and restored balance to Thera, fluctuations still remain in what is
most commonly known as the Veil.
The Veil, it is said, acts as a barrier between the two planes of Magic and
Reality as it is known in Thera. At times, the Veil is thickened and magical
forces of all kinds in Thera are subsequently weakened. Other times, the Veil
thins, and magic flows into Thera with ease.
The Veil's fluctuations are not random, and mortals can play a role in
influencing its state.
Mortals who are able to detect magic will also sense these fluctuations as
they occur.
