The Sacred Shroud emerged from the collective spiritual energy of ancient mountain shamans who sought to protect the Yeti's secrets. It manifested during a legendary blizzard where the first Guardians performed a ritual of protection, weaving their intentions into the very fabric of the mountain's mists.

The Sacred Shroud exists as both physical mist and spiritual energy, able to conceal important locations and artifacts from those who would disturb them. It responds to the intentions of the Whiteout Guardians, becoming denser or more transparent based on the threat level to the mountain's secrets. The Shroud can disorient those deemed unworthy, leading them away from sacred sites while guiding true seekers of wisdom to safety.

Acts as a spiritual defender of the mountain's mysteries, working in harmony with the Whiteout Guardians to preserve the Yeti's secrets and protect sacred sites from discovery by the uninitiated.
