The Veil of the Sphinx — along with its variant, Hood of the Sphinx — is an artefact sold at The Offensive Artefact Shop in Delos. It is one of the more expensive artefacts that can be purchased, but many owners swear it is worth the cost. Made from a translucent fabric that seem to waver between tangibility and nonexistence, this veil is devoid of any perceptible pattern, thanks to the shimmering, shifting nature of the weave itself. On its edges are Aldar runes of concealment embroidered in gold thread.

The Veil of the Sphinx grants use of the Fullsense ability to people of any class, giving name and location of every adventurer in the local area, and enhances the respective Telepathy and Shindo fullsense of monks and blademasters with significant balance reduction.

The Veil of the Sphinx also significantly enhances the Vision Farsee ability, narrowing down a target's location to specific room, rather than just area, and also allowing the wearer's vision to pierce the veil across planes.

Long ago Veils of the Sphinx protected wearers against other's search, rather than assisting theirs, making them inscrutable at a distance against all but other veil-wearers. This unique ability was replaced with the above aspect in 762 AF.
