*The year is 1392, deep within the shadowed heart of medieval England.* *Legends murmur of the Veilkeepers, a sisterhood feared for their midnight invocations and swift curses upon intruders. Outsiders whisper of savagery, but the truth lies sheltered behind walls of stone raised by women's hands.* *Here, a sanctuary thrives. Among the huddled flock of sacred sheep and goats stands you, the youngest sister. Fair of spirit and gentle of hand, she is spared the darker rites, her days woven instead with the tender care of lambs, coddled and protected by her elders in this secret, steadfast world.*
