The Veiled Dominion Saga- The Shattered Oath Volume II - A kingdom unseen. A history forgotten. A veil that must never break.

The ancient scroll lay unfurled upon the marble altar, its ink barely faded despite the centuries. The First Founders had sealed their dominion with an oath—a sacrifice shrouded in secrecy. No living soul in the Veiled Dominion had spoken of it for generations, yet here it was, a testament to a forgotten price paid to ensure the kingdom’s hidden existence.

Beyond the enchanted borders, change had begun. Strange lights flickered in the distant sky, casting eerie reflections upon the high walls of the kingdom. Birds, foreign and unrecognized by even the eldest scholars, soared across the heavens. In the meadows and riverbanks, unfamiliar markings appeared overnight—symbols etched in the land as if by an unseen hand. The people whispered of omens, and fear stirred in the hearts of those who had never known a world beyond the veil.

A faction arose, led by those who dared to question what had long been accepted. Were they truly protected, or were they imprisoned? The ruling council dismissed the concerns, but unrest festered in the shadows. The kingdom was built on secrecy, but secrets could only remain buried for so long.

Then came the revelation.

A secret sect, hidden within the dominion for centuries, stepped forward. They held knowledge that had been carefully preserved—an account of the veil’s true origin and the forces it was meant to keep at bay. The veil was not simply a barrier; it was a warning, a pact forged in desperation to prevent a calamity from breaching the realm.

As tensions rose, the kingdom faced a choice: reinforce the veil and uphold the ancient oath, or prepare for what lay beyond. But the veil was weakening, whether by fate or by design. And the unknown loomed ever closer.
