Coping with loss can be complicated, so to make it easier for you all I've decided to make it happen more often.
Introduction
A Veil is a very small universe only spanning about the size of half the earth, and is shaped like a dome; lovingly wrapped up in a protective bubble of magic at its brim. Most things that live outside of these edges is known as evil, malignant, petrifying, and are living physical embodiments of horror and terror themselves; if a large enough one of these beings do manage to slip through the cracks in the magical barrier, their presence always causes chaos and destruction. As such, the edges of the plane are often left uninhabited and marked with the ruins of those who tried to colonize them and were unaware of the dangers that lie just beyond their reach.
The Veil is the third known iteration of what some people speculate to be a divine being’s greater plan, and is considered a realm that is much smaller and more fragile than the other two before it by most scholars. The first iteration is all but unknown to most who inhabit the world, and is considered to be irrelevant to most scholars. The second realm has some clues that it has left behind on our world, in places that one would least expect to hold secrets of the past, and in some places these secrets lie in plain sight, waiting to be solved.
The Veil was created, or recreated, by its divine forces 7 Aeons ago, and has been given very little time for nature to settle in and evolve unique life forces adapted to the dangers around it. As such, often many things can easily die and be erased from existence if corrupted by a destroying force, and the world itself is like an infant, unable to defend itself from reality and unable to support itself without protection.
The Seven deities themselves are hollow and reserved, taking to only performing the most essential of duties. The world organizes itself by leadership from the castle Council, and occasional whispers from the Principalities, and functions on an order of constant recycling and re-purposing of magical energy- that what you cast out will come back, and if you send out something malignant and hateful, you better be prepared to fight it when it returns to your doorstep.
