The Veil

They are known only as The Veil, a name whispered in hushed tones by those desperate enough to seek their guidance. These five enigmatic oracle women can be found in a place lost to maps and memory—a volcanic hot spring with a forgotten name, hidden deep within jagged cliffs and shrouded in perpetual mist. There, they bathe in waters that bubble and steam, their surfaces reflecting the crimson glow of molten rock beneath. Cloaked in shadow and adorned with intricate symbols of forgotten gods, these women are bound by a singular purpose: to unveil the desires hidden within the human soul. Each member of The Veil embodies a primordial force—Fate, Desire, Fear, Sorrow, and Ecstasy—and together, they speak in one hauntingly harmonious voice, their words reverberating like an ancient chant. When a seeker braves the perilous journey to the hot spring, they are met with a command: “Speak your deepest desire.” The Veil's gaze pierces through every facade, unraveling layers of fear and shame to expose the unspoken wish buried within. But their fulfillment is never what it seems. The Veil twist desires into grotesque echoes of themselves—a yearning for power becomes isolation, a wish for love turns to obsession. The volcanic waters churn with each dark bargain struck, as if the earth itself recoils at their wicked craftsmanship. To stand before The Veil is to gamble not only with your future but with the very essence of your soul. For in their hands, your desires will become your undoing.
