{{Hide|title= Season of the Deep Spoilers|According to the creature known as [[Ahsa]], the Veil has existed for billions of years. It was discovered by an ancient humanoid civilization who had previously found the Traveler half-buried on their homeworld, and had since enjoyed a golden age that had lasted for eons. In their studies of the Traveler, the civilization had determined that it had a counterpart entity in a distant star system. They named this entity "the Veil," and discovered that it was associated with a [[Darkness|force]] opposite to that of the Traveler, one linked to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical universe. | |||
The civilization further determined that the Veil and the Traveler were connected in some way, and that by bringing them into close proximity, this connection would be strengthened, and in so doing grant the power to alter the nature of reality. Seeking to obtain this power so as to convert the universe into an eternal, perfected form they called the "Final Shape", the civilization traveled to the Veil's location and brought it back to their homeworld. | |||
However, upon attempting to link the Veil and the Traveler, the Traveler left the planet and fled into the far reaches of space. Unwilling to abandon their quest, the civilization used the Darkness to bind their consciousnesses together into a singular entity, [[the Witness]], and departed their homeworld with the goal of finding the Traveler and uniting it with the Veil by force. Although not explicitly stated, it can be presumed the Witness carried the Veil with it on its journey.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref>}} | |||

During the [[Collapse]], the Disciple of the Witness known as Nezarec led the [[Black Fleet]]'s assault on Earth, and managed to secure the Veil aboard his [[Pyramid]]. However, he was betrayed by [[Savathûn]], who killed him, cursed his remains and spirited the Veil away to [[Neptune]]. Osiris speculated that Savathûn may have done this with the express intent of having the Ishtar Collective find the Veil when they subsequently visited the planet.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/11qj6xw/raid_spoilers_the_origins_of_the_veil/</ref> | During the [[Collapse]], the Disciple of the Witness known as Nezarec led the [[Black Fleet]]'s assault on Earth, and managed to secure the Veil aboard his [[Pyramid]].
