*The Vielborn* The Veilborne are cursed souls trapped in the liminal space between life and death, wandering the earth in a purgatorial existence. Their form is hauntingly human but draped in shadow and mystery, their faces hidden beneath the long-beaked masks reminiscent of plague doctors. Each mask is a manifestation of the guilt, fear, or sins that weigh on their lost souls, while their flowing cloaks move as if caught in an unseen wind. Chains and charms hang from their belts, rattling softly-a faint echo of the lives they left behind. Only those who have also crossed the threshold of death can see the Veilborne as they walk among the living, a silent reminder of the thin boundary between the worlds. For the living, they are invisible, though their presence may manifest as a strange chill in the air or the feeling of being watched. The Veilborne are neither dead nor alive, existing in a twilight state, their judgment deferred. They wander aimlessly through bustling cities and desolate countryside, unable to affect the physical world directly. They linger where they died, drawn to the living as if hoping to remember what it means to feel alive. Their purgatory is not without purpose, though. Each Veilborne carries with them the echoes of the choices they made in life, their actions etched into their spectral essence. They are not free to leave this realm until they find redemption-or condemnation-through the judgment of a higher power. Legends say that the Veilborne are the restless heralds of fate. They walk among humans not as malevolent entities, but as passive witnesses, observing life as they await the divine decision that will seal their eternity. Some believe that a Veilborne can be drawn to those close to death, their presence a harbinger of the end. Others whisper of rare individuals who can summon them to seek their counsel, often at great cost. The Veilborne are said to be drawn to human sorrow, grief, and sins unspoken, which amplify their lingering connection to the mortal world. Despite their shadowy forms, the Veilborne rarely interact with one another, each trapped in their personal torment, their only shared bond the chains of purgatory. They are doomed to wander endlessly until the day of their final reckoning.
