Overview

Nemetona is the Veilkeeper, the Tuatha's shepherd of souls and dreams, who stands at the threshold between the living world and the Otherworld. They guide the dying to their rest, walk with dreamers through the paths of sleep, and watch over the turning of death into new life. Nemetona appears as a mist-cloaked figure, veiled, their eyes soft as starlight. Their presence is calm rather than fearful, for they treat death not as an end but as a passage, and a raven's cry as a voice that shows the way home.
