The Veil refers to a mysterious realm that exists beyond the boundaries of ordinary perception. It is a place where visions and dreams converge, a domain typically reserved for gods. Access to The Veil is rare and for mortals most notably occurs when the boundaries between it and the Dreamscape grow thin, allowing select individuals to glimpse its enigmatic landscapes.

It's shrouded in endless blackness, veiled by thick clouds of mist in various colours. It possesses an ethereal and dreamlike quality, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Travelers who find themselves within The Veil may experience a sense of being drawn towards a particular sector of it dedicated to one or couple godly figures, guided by an instinctual pull.

## Known landscapes

* The Tundra is a distinct landscape within The Veil, characterized by its frozen expanse and haunting beauty. Towering trees, their branches coated in frost, dominate the landscape. The air is permeated with a sense of stillness and serenity. There are always multiple sets of silvery eyes in the darknes fallowing your every move and whispers of unknown origin can be heard, carried by the chilling breeze that sweeps through the frozen landscape. Travelers who find themselves within the Tundra often feel a deep connection to the primal forces of nature and an overwhelming sense of isolation.
* The Stronghold is a notable location within The Veil, serving as anchor of the home of Negoteb, the last living Oni on Jukion. This ancient fortress stands as a testament to the glory of a bygone era. Its walls, once teeming with life, now bear witness to the passage of time. Within the Stronghold's halls, the remnants of Psionic Oni Giants lie scattered, immortalizing the grandeur that once was. The atmosphere within is tinged with a palpable aura of mystery, as if the echoes of forgotten knowledge still reverberate through the chambers.
* The Flesh Dale is a peculiar and unsettling region encountered within The Veil. It is a place where fleshy terrain stretches as far as the eye can see, interwoven with protruding bones and organic matter. The ground pulses with an otherworldly energy, giving the impression of a living, breathing entity. The Flesh Dale is inhabited by a variety of aberrant creatures, each more grotesque than the last. It was within this nightmarish landscape that Ton, the Nothic, encountered the gargantuan eyeball and engaged in a conversation with The Eye, one of the primal gods of Jukion.

## Significance

The Veil holds great significance for those who find themselves within its boundaries. It serves as a meeting place for powerful entities and individuals, where they can forge alliances, exchange knowledge, and seek power. The visions and dreams experienced within The Veil often reflect the desires and ambitions of those who enter it, presenting opportunities for growth, influence, and the pursuit of ancient secrets.

Access to The Veil is both rare and momentous, as it signifies a connection to higher realms of existence. Those who navigate its depths must tread carefully, as the realm can be unpredictable and fraught with challenges. The Veil acts as a bridge between mortals and the divine, offering glimpses into the nature of the universe and the powers that shape it.
