The Veil Jumpers are explorers of ancient elven ruins. Although founded by the Dalish,[1] they welcome anyone brave enough to face Arlathan Forest's reality-warping magic.
Background[]
Veil Jumpers are an alliance of interested parties that have been trying to figure out what's causing the strange anomalies occurring in Arlathan Forest and ultimately seek to restore order to the forest.[2] Due to the nature of their work, the Veil Jumpers are one of the foremost experts on ancient elven artifacts and magic.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard[]
The Veil Jumpers have been struggling to contain the magical anomalies in the Arlathan Forest; their situation exacerbated by the new darkspawns' attacks. The Veil Jumpers have been struggling to defend Arlathan from these threats but many have become wounded or ill in the fight, while other Veil Jumpers are still unaccounted for. Three Dalish settlements were evacuated for their safety and Strife notes they are running out of Veil Jumpers to deal with the threats. Strife and Irelin asks the Veilguard to find their lost artifact expert, Bellara Lutare. After working together to escape a Veil bubble and recovering the Nadas Dirthalen, Strife and Irelin ask the Veilguard to check on two Veil Jumpers who went to investigate D'Meta's Crossing and also to search for any signs that the elven gods may have been there. The Veilguard investigate D'Meta's Crossing and discovers that its mayor, Julius, was tempted by Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain to sacrifice two Veil Jumpers in a blood magic ritual for gold. The blood magic ritual unleashed the Blight on the entire village of D'Meta's Crossing. After reporting that the elven gods have returned and have started the Sixth Blight to the Veil Jumpers, Morrigan, an associate of the Veil Jumpers, arrive at the Veil Jumper Camp to answer any questions the Veilguard may have and advises them to retrieve Solas' lyrium dagger, as such a powerful artifact cannot be permitted to fall into the elven gods' hands. The Veilguard fight off a lyrium ghoul sent by the elven gods for the lyrium dagger and return to the Lighthouse. Bellara joins the Veilguard and repairs the Vi'Revas, the Lighthouse's eluvian which connects to the The Crossroads, a pocket dimension in the Fade where all eluvians meet.
After Ghilan'nain's failed assault on the Grey Wardens in the Hossberg Wetlands, the Venatori have begun to invade Arlathan Forest in mass. Rook and the Veilguard help the Veil Jumpers investigate this Venatori invasion after Rook received a tip that the elven gods were planning something in Arlathan. After defeating the Venatori trespassers, the Veilguard discover that the Venatori have been kidnapping Dalish villagers. Although the Veil Jumpers protected who they could, the Venatori have been taking Dalish prisoners to Arlathan Crater, where their Dalish blood is needed for some sort of sacrifice.[7]
The Venatori is gathering deep in Arlathan Forest, and it falls to the Veilguard and the Veil Jumpers to stop them before Dalish lives are lost. After being supplied disguises by Strife, Rook, Neve Gallus, and the rest of the Veilguard infiltrate the gathering. There, they witnessed Venatori slaughtering halla for fun and Elgar'nan awaken his dragon thrall, Lusacan, once worshipped as the Old God of Night. Elgar'nan used his mental dominating magic to influence the gathering but Bellara Lutare and Neve used their magic to dispel the hold Elgar'nan had on the Veilguard's minds. Sensing there are intruders who broke free from his domination, Elgar'nan ordered the Venatori to capture Rook and their team. While the Veil Jumpers attacked the Venatori to distract from Rook's team, the Veilguard faught their way to the Dalish prisoners. Elgar'nan however, used his magic to thin the Veil and magically keep Rook's team trapped in the temple until Solas challenges Elgar'nan and distracts him from Rook with a telepathic argument.
Dalish blood would've been spilled to restore the dragon to full strength, but with Solas's help, Elgar'nan's plan was thwarted. The Veilguard rescued the captives and with his sacrifices lost, Elgar'nan was forced to sacrifice his own Venatori to his dragon.[8]
