    Wait, they finally got around to explaining what the veil was? What was it?

    And yeah I 100% percent wish we had gotten poison instead of janky parkour. (I will admit that baiting the Sorrow Bearer into lunging off the map with Strand jumps was fun though.)

      Well… sort of. There’s still a lot of unanswered questions about it, but basically it’s another cosmic entity that’s somehow linked to the Traveler. We end up finding it on Neptune at the end of the Lightfall campaign, and it basically looks like a giant fungal growth. Aesthetically, there’s some similarities to the Egregore that took over the Glykon and Leviathan, but I’m not too sure that they’re really the same thing.

      They released this cutscene which goes into a bit of the Witness’s origins, and it briefly talks about the Veil.
