A Collective History Vol. 3
Having reached the gates of Lion's Arch, the duchess and her attaché were finally granted entry into the city. They were escorted to the palace by the Lionguard; it was "a humid evening, despite the coastal breeze." Even at that hour, King Jadon was engaged in council with his advisors as charr forces amassed on the eastern Krytan border. Duchess Adelaide presented the king with the diplomatic parcel as he made introductions. When King Jadon addressed the emissary from the White Mantle, the duchess noticed three imposing figures garbed in golden robes and armor, with multiple sets of dark ethereal wings emerging from their backs. They hovered quietly, flanking the "stout but stern man in unusually vibrant attire" in a corner of the inner chamber.
Unknown to most, the duchess was in possession of a relic stolen from Orr early in the Third Guild War. The Veil of Ilya, an elegant but otherwise visibly unremarkable domino mask, was rumored to pierce the curtain of reality, to look upon things not normally seen by mortal eyes. Its passive magic would allow the wearer to perceive things hidden by illusion or that exist out of phase with Tyria proper as if they were there normally. Should the wearer actively draw upon the Veil's well of power, they may reveal these things to those around them within a defined space and for a short period of time.
Before the Unseen could act, the duchess exposed them with the full power of the Veil. It was said that the mursaat attacked with powerful magics, killing the king's advisors and royal guard in seconds. Adelaide and her companions came to the king's defense with combined feedback spells, evacuating His Royal Highness through secret corridors at his direction.
