The Caul

The Caul refers to the phenomenon which prevents most of humanity from being able to see magic and magical beings. Since it began affecting humans several centuries ago, the Caul has relegated magic to human folklore and superstition.

Some humans have retained the ability to see through the Caul and know of the magical world. These people are sometimes referred to as the True Seers, the Hidden Ones, the Unveiled or the Unseen World. It is unclear if this is an innate ability in certain humans, or if it is a skill that can be achieved through training.
