(This is for the Noctum Vera collab) Adventurer's log: "Day 271 after escaping the wretched city of the Iron Maw, I've been out exploring The Veil only to unlock its mysteries and ethereal secrets. I've created a small log book on most things (still working in progress) about the veil. I name it the "Etheria" even though it says something else and its just some generic store bought journal, but its a book containing all 271 days worth of information, exploration, documentation, research, classification and the occasional adventuerer log all about The Veil. The Luminara were too kind to take a ratty orphan into their ranks.
