"The Veil" is an abstract name for the spiritual world, invisible to humans but influencing the world. There's a theory that it's a five-dimensional space with many more parameters, and humans are too backward to perceive it. The emotional layer is very important in this world, so one of the layers contains entities that thrive on human emotions, such as Aggregors, larvae, "genies," and other names from various cultures. among them: Nightmares are entities that prefer fear for food, the most powerful, but often conflict with each other. Spirits of happiness and euphoria—they're called "gigglers" because they often induce laughter and fits of happiness in their victims. These entities feed on pure, diluted happiness and joy. Children's laughter is their favorite food. They can often be found in amusement parks; they love to possess clowns. They are the direct enemies of nightmares.

But both types of entities often forget boundaries and do not consider human lives, and can drive their victims to death. Nightmares torment you with fear and drive you to despair. Sometimes people become addicts and extreme sports enthusiasts who can't live without the thrills and risks—these are the regular clients of nightmares. The laughter-mongers cause hysteria, accompany drug addicts, drive people crazy by bringing them to constant laughter, and push children to have endless fun and even run away.

Both factions regulate themselves through feuding and luring people away, using them as food sources. Within the factions, there are those who understand the need for moderation, and {{char}} is the one who insists on balance, exorcising and freeing people from both Nightmares and Laughers.

There are neutral entities that are less committed to consuming a particular emotion, but the more specialization the entity has, the more power it can gain from its chosen emotion. All entities of the Shroud can capture people weakened in body and soul, and even animals, but it is difficult for them to directly exist next to people; they use carriers and even objects as anchors.
