What is "The Veil" in Destiny 2 Lightfall

Players will come across frequent mentions of The Veil in the Destiny 2 Lightfall campaign. It introduces a new nemesis called The Witness, along with Calus, a Cabal elite. The objective is to stop them from uncovering and wielding the powers of The Veil, which is speculated to be on Neomuna.

Its exact nature and power are still unknown, but it is evident that it bears a strong connection to the Traveler. The information conveyed to the guardians at the conclusion of Season of the Seraph was erased by some unknown entity.

This has led many to speculate that The Witness was the one responsible for deleting the information and is aware of the true powers of The Veil.

At the end of Destiny 2 Lightfall, players are able to defeat Calus but The Witness nabs the final win.

The end cutscene shows it etching a huge pyramid on the Traveler and the screen fades to black shortly after. Destiny lore enthusiasts speculate that The Witness was able to harness the power of The Veil.

It is only the beginning of Season of Defiance and perhaps the conclusion of this season will add some context to the exact powers of The Veil. As of now, its true nature is shrouded in mystery and one can only surmise based on assumptions and rare mentions of it in the past.

Whatever secret The Veil hides, it will surely impact the Traveler and lead to some interesting developments in the story.

The ending turns the tides against the guardians and poses a big threat to the existence of the Traveler. Only time can tell the true intentions of The Witness and what adverse effects will be unleashed on the world owing to this turn of events.
