Effect
You can read Pre-Rupture inscriptions, understand fragments of Veil-Born speech, and identify the purpose of Pre-Rupture artifacts without an Engineering check. Once per session, you may ask the GM one question about a Veil phenomenon, ruin, or artifact and receive a truthful (if cryptic) answer.
Special
Speaking the Old Tongue aloud adds +1 die to the Tension Pool. The Veil listens when its language is spoken.
