veitsien

Veitsien is a fictional entity originating from the lore of the fantasy role-playing game "Aethelgard". Within the game's narrative, Veitsien are described as ancient, malevolent beings that feed on fear and despair. Their physical form is often depicted as shadowy and ephemeral, making them difficult to perceive or engage directly. They are said to possess a powerful psychic influence, capable of subtly manipulating the emotions of sentient creatures to amplify their negative feelings.

The lore suggests that Veitsien are not corporeal in the traditional sense, existing more as spiritual or emotional parasites. They are believed to manifest in places where great suffering or tragedy has occurred, drawing strength from the lingering psychic residue. Their ultimate goal is not conquest or destruction in the physical sense, but rather the complete demoralization and spiritual erosion of their victims.

In Aethelgard, confronting a Veitsien typically involves psychological or spiritual challenges rather than direct combat. Players might be tasked with overcoming their own fears, bolstering the morale of allies, or severing the Veitsien's connection to a place of suffering. Artifacts or rituals designed to purify negative energy are often key to repelling or weakening these entities. The exact origins and ultimate nature of Veitsien remain largely mysterious, contributing to their status as a persistent threat in the game's world.
