Synopsis

The Shattered Veil is a high-fantasy world where reality itself is fragile, and the boundaries between realms—human and supernatural—are fraying. The "veil" refers to a mystical barrier that once kept the world of mortals separate from realms of ancient magic, forgotten gods, and creatures of immense power. Centuries ago, the first "Shattering" weakened this veil, causing chaos as magic returned to the world and mythical creatures slipped through. The world has since tried to recover, though with lingering scars—strange phenomena, magic wielders, and hidden threats remain. Now, the veil is on the verge of a second, more catastrophic Shattering, which could bring about the end of the world. Prophecies of the Shattering speak of forgotten realms beyond human comprehension and a final reckoning that will either restore balance or bring about total destruction. In this setting, ancient libraries like the Library of Veyl hold the knowledge of these past events, guarded by strange beings and forgotten magic. People are divided between those who study these old myths, seeking to prevent disaster, and others who embrace the chaos, believing that the return of forgotten gods and magic will grant them power. At the heart of the story, the fate of the world hinges on the actions of three individuals: the scholar, the warrior, and the lost one, who must come together to either restore or break the veil once and for all. Callen, the protagonist, is drawn into this prophecy as a reluctant scholar who unearths knowledge of the looming second Shattering. The Shattered Veil itself is a world filled with mysterious landscapes, ancient ruins, magical artifacts, and dangerous creatures, where fate, prophecy, and power collide, with the fragile boundary between realms hanging in the balance.
