This new path leads to new battles ascending in level, starting at level 5 and ending (for now) at level 30. This area introduces four rift types:

• Blue Rifts - Contain fiends not native to Revan who drop special crafting materials unique to this Veil event.
• Yellow Rifts - Contain mini locations Ruby will need to traverse to stop the threat.
• Red Rifts - Contain fiends native to Revan from other periods in time.
• Green Rifts - Contain corrupted and veilspawned combatants.
