A little surprised to be asked that particular question, Inessa mulls it over before answering. "I wonder if there was even a time before the Veil, if perhaps instead it always existed. Perhaps the legends of its creation are only that; we have no real proof that the world was ever any different. Even if it was, our priority has to be on the state of the Veil as it is now. Corypheus' actions have severely damaged it and mortals and Fade inhabitants alike will continue to suffer if it's not mended. Not all rift demons were such before they crossed; the creation of the rifts, being drawn into our world, has driven spirits mad, warping them into the forms we have already seen. And their suffering only spreads to others, when civilians stumble across such rifts. If there is a way to safely mingle across the Veil, this...is not it."
