Artist commentary for The Whispering Veil:

Thomas Ferkol: (Bandcamp about blurb)

Knowing they would be hunted until extermination or evacuation from Alacastor, and probably even after, Margaret and Erik travel south. They agree to part their forces once they reach the other side of a canyon, known as The Whispering Veil, to avoid being easily tracked through the Miasma. Centuries previous, Percival, a prophet of Mortis, sought to make a pilgrimage to the north to find the Mortiseum, the house of Mortis, which was allegedly at the top of the world. The story goes that Mortis tested Percival's faith by letting him hear the whispers of the dead from the dark canyon walls and observing if he was resilient against their goading and questioning. When he proved himself strong willed enough to carry on, Mortis spoke from behind a veil of dark clouds in the sky, stating that Percival may continue his quest. Though Margaret tries to pass time by telling the story, Erik is uninterested. Instead, its connection to Mortis returns his thoughts to their present situation: running away from what most people in Alacastor have come to believe is Mortis himself.
