Description:
A delicate ceremonial veil woven from nearly invisible, translucent threads that shimmer faintly in light yet resist direct observation. The veil is ethereal in texture and weight, seeming to absorb sound around it. When worn, it muffles all noises, including the wearer’s voice, creating an almost complete silence.
Recovery Notes:
Recovered from the ruins of an ancient Pale Country ritual chamber beneath the palace grounds, believed to have been used by the Silent Choir during century-long silences. The veil was found carefully folded on an alabaster altar, protected by wards against sound and light.
Function and Believed Use:
Used in court ceremonies to invoke profound silence and conceal secrets. The veil acts as a magical barrier against sound and communication, enabling the Silent Choir to perform without audible noise. It is believed to symbolize sacrifice and obedience within the Pale Court.
Known Incidents:
Incident 5C: An investigator wearing the veil during a ritual reported complete sensory isolation, experiencing intense psychological strain and near loss of self.
Incident 12H: The veil was worn by a covert operative to mask their presence during a delicate extraction, successfully muffling all sound but causing disorientation.
Containment Protocol:
Stored in a soundproof, light-filtering containment chamber with ambient white noise to counteract the veil’s silencing effect.
Only used during approved ceremonies or tests, with full medical supervision.
Wearers must be accompanied by a support team to prevent accidents caused by sensory deprivation.
Strict protocols govern the removal and handling to avoid unintended activation.
