# Vivian's Veil > [!lotvk]- Lineage of the Veiled Kin — Known & Revealed > A black, netted cloth veil lent by [[Vivian]] to show the hidden creatures draining people’s life-force. It is a physical sight-revealing tool, distinct from the divine interference called the [[Divine Veil]]. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 37 - The Leechers, The Witch and the War Mage|Session 37]], “The Veil”) > > ## Observed use and limits > > Raphius wore it and saw a large winged creature latched onto him; Elena then used it to see creatures on both herself and Raphius. They still could not strike or grasp the partially displaced creatures effectively. Seeing them did not make them fully present; Vivian’s Black Lotus ritual performed that separate task. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 37 - The Leechers, The Witch and the War Mage|Session 37]], “The Veil”; “Elena Sees It”) > > Vivian said it would work only one more time that day when lending it. The full recharge conditions, construction, range and means of reproducing it were not established. > > ## Later custody and use > > Elena used the veil while examining the sick woman in Feydown, revealing the attached parasite. Later, at Menagerie Gardens, she repurposed the cloth as a makeshift filter over her mouth and nose against spores. That use establishes continuing possession; it does not prove the cloth could neutralise spores or every exposure hazard. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 42 - Into Feygrove Forest|Session 42]], “Elena Discovers the Truth”; [[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 47 - Corruption Abound|Session 47]], garden/spores scene) > > Before leaving Wendell with Jasper, Elena gave the veil to Raphius for the dangers still facing the companions. The earlier possession history therefore ends with this recorded transfer; it is not a demonstrated cure or the cause of the gods’ obscured sight.
