In the cold and mysterious northern reaches of Kaukai, there is an ancient myth about the Silver Veil, a shimmering curtain of light seen across the mountains on the longest night of the year. It is believed to be a gateway to the land of the spirits.
Legend
The Silver Veil was once the protective shroud of a forgotten moon goddess who, in ancient times, guarded the realm of the dead. It is said that the Silver Veil thins once a year, and on that night, spirits of the lost walk the earth, returning to their homes or haunting those who wronged them in life. The veil is visible as a glowing mist across the peaks, and some believe brave souls who walk through it can speak with their ancestors—though not all who enter return.
Old Wives’ Tale
The people of Kaukai say that if you hear a knocking at your door on the night of the Silver Veil, do not answer it, for it means a spirit has come to claim you or a loved one. Children are told to place candles in their windows to ward off the dead.
