(→List of appearances: The ghost fragment: future warcult in Destiny 1 mentions the veil. It is clear lorewise this is about the Veil seen in Lightfall. I don't know exactly how to properly write it, but please let it be known that its first appearance is in D1.) Tag: Mobile edit |

The origins and true nature of the Veil are unknown, but it is known to have existed for billions of years, potentially at least as long as the Traveler. In one of her messages to the Guardian through Sloane, Ahsa makes reference to "''two halves of a whole, long divided''," which in context seems to suggest that the Traveler and Veil were once part of a single entity, or at least share a common origin. | |||
At some point, the Veil 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 emanating from the Traveler, one linked to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical universe. | At some point, the Veil 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.

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 and merge into a singular entity: [[the Witness]]. | However, upon attempting to link the Veil and the Traveler, the Traveler left the planet and fled into the far reaches of space.

The Witness then departed its 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> | The Witness then departed its homeworld with the goal of finding the Traveler and uniting it with the Veil by force.
