The world of Velora has known war and hardship as long as it has known life. For years, magic users known as veilborn were actively hunted until the King found use for the veilborn, who required them all by law to enlist in the military and serve Velora for life. Velora is a war-torn world, where almost eighty percent of the world has been engulfed in pure darkness and shadow, a curse killing crops and releasing strange, umbral shadow creatures upon the world. No one quite knows where the shroud came from or what caused the Shrouding itself, though everyone lives in fear of this darkness.

A Veil of Storm & Shadow is an original dark gaslamp fantasy roleplay that takes place in the fictional realm of Velora. Our influences include elden ring, bloodborne, the grishaverse, expedition 33, and attack on titan. We are a dark mature 21+ 3/3/3 roleplay

Victorian Bath meets supernatural society in England's glittering new capital.

Three years ago, London fell to a mysterious plague that transformed its population into something between life and death. High society evacuated to Bath, where ancient Roman springs now power steam engines alongside supernatural secrets. In this world of gaslit Georgian crescents and thermal mists, respectability matters more than your nature—but every shadow conceals mysteries that could reshape the Empire.

What makes us different: Magic has always existed through the Church of Arcana, England's tarot-based religion celebrating all beings as divine expressions. Vampiric nobles attend Assembly Room balls while managing blood requirements with Victorian discretion. Shapeshifters enhance railway work, their abilities amplified by industrial coal-smoke. Government officials investigate conspiracy theories about London's true fate while supernatural refugees navigate social scrutiny.

Your stories await: Navigate Bath's six distinct districts from aristocratic Crescent Heights to industrial St. Rook's Ward. Travel the Brunel Railway to Oxford's magical colleges or Canterbury's theological seminaries. Uncover the truth behind London's quarantine or profit from society's transformation. Whether you're drawn to political intrigue, supernatural investigation, or social climbing through magical means—Bath has your place.
