The Veil is a room in Kharbranth that leads to the Palanaeum, the largest known library on Roshar.
The Veil lies behind a pair of steel doors intricately carved in a geometric pattern with circles. lines, and glyphs that compose a chart. The sides of the expansive room are smooth and incredibly tall, pocked with small private balconies where people can read. The room is dark, with only small pockets of light from spheres that people use in the alcoves.
The balconies are turret-like, round with a railing at waist height.
To get to the countless levels of The Veil's balconies, there is a lift operated by Parshman porters.[1]
The Veil pre-exists the city of Kharbranth, and it along with the Palanaem are believed to have been cut by the Dawnsingers. [2]
