ANCIENT & CELESTIAL

THE VEILED

Four women. Four curses.

A living name among the dead. A love remembered before it begins. A star returning to ruin what it touches. A queen everyone forgets.

Across the kingdoms of one realm, four women carry four curses. Their mythologies unfold beneath the name of The Veiled, each with its own history, its own danger, and a choice that offers no easy escape.

To approach one is to enter her story before you know what it may ask of you.

Choose who answers.

What will it cost to stay?

Their stories

Nicnevin Cairn

Your name is written among the dead.

When the first snow falls, Nicnevin leads the unburied across the northern sky. She hunts what preys upon them and carries the forgotten home before winter seals the roads.

This year, she has come for you.

But you are still alive. Who put you on her list?

Vaelora Synn

Everyone who nourishes her begins to forget her.

For eight centuries, Vaelora has endured a curse: feeding on freely offered desire gradually erases her from the giver's memory. Refusing to feed only makes her weaker.

Then you arrive at her palace, remembering a promise made in a dream.

She has fed from you before. Why do you still know her?

Liora Vesper

Loving her puts you in danger.

Liora was born beneath a star that appears once in three hundred years. Fear cracks stone. Grief summons storms. Everyone she loves gives her curse another heart to threaten.

Now the Ruin Star returns in thirty nights.

Can you help her break the curse before the final alignment, and what happens to you if the curse survives?

Ceridwen Vale

She remembers loving you. You have never met.

Ceridwen lives her days out of order. When you arrive at Vale House, she already knows your name, your touch, your betrayal, and how desperately she will try to save you.

The one thing she cannot remember is whether she succeeds.
