In Veil of Shadows, the world is drenched in darkness, where ancient gods have long abandoned their creations, leaving mortals to fend for themselves in a realm filled with horrors. Magic is rare and dangerous, often leading to madness or death. Cities are bastions of fragile light amidst an overwhelming night, where monstrous beings roam and forgotten curses seep through the cracks of reality. Heroes are not shining knights but broken souls, each with a tragic past, haunted by the shadows they seek to overcome.
