Thousands of years ago, when the world was still whole, it was ruled by the Goddess of Aether and Shadow - known as Selastra.
She created two realms -
Aetherion, the realm of order and light,
Verelora, the realm of freedom and shadow.
But as mortals grew greedy for her power, wars erupted. To stop the destruction, Selastra split her essence in two - sealing her divine light within the stars and her shadow within the earth - and forged The Veil to keep both halves apart.
The Veil became both a protector and a prison - keeping magic contained but separating gods from mortals forever.
Before vanishing, Selastra whispered a prophecy:
"When light and shadow fall in love, my soul shall awaken, and the Veil shall breathe again."
