Dayveil

Before the adoption of these veils the people of Nuxis were forced to rely on heavy hoods to protect themselves from the harsh light of the sun. While he hoods worked to a limited extent, they restricted vision and something as simple as tripping could expose the head, resulting in burns. A Soilkin known as Eras Wain grew sick of the inconvenience (especially after nearly being struck by a blight attacking from the side) and devoted decades to coming up with an alternative.   It wasn’t until Eras learned of a new plant fibre that one village was starting to use to make clothing that he started to make progress. Since the village was without a Soilkin, Eras took up residence and helped with cutlivating the cotton. The new cotton veils Eras created proved popular and spread across Nuxis, becoming a core part of Nuxian attire.

While created to serve a practical purpose, the veils became a central part of Nuxian culture. The presentation of a child's first veil marks the point where they are considered trustworthy enough to be outside on their own, and marriage ceremonies involve the exchanging of new veils. Each veil is created for a specific person and no Nuxian would even consider wearing another's veil.
