The Fog (concept)
The Fog is a strange Magical phenomenon emanating from a source of disputed nature and even precise location in the far north of the Continent's inland, widely referred to as The Rift. While the exact cause and circumstances of its emergence have remained almost completely obscure, the first known sightings by remote colonies, frontier legions and tribals coincide with the immediate aftermath of Frodbrokna and the end of the Imperial Civil War, leading many to believe that the mass chaos and evils of the conflict somehow drew it forth.
Nothing lives in the Foglands, at least nothing natural. Those few who have visited its cold interior and lived to tell the tale describe an immense feeling of dread, of constantly being watched and surrounded by a relentless litany of panicked whispers and unnatural sounds. Whatever one fears can be manifested in the Foglands, monsters of man's own creation taking corporeal form and attacking them as they wander, and living on to persist to another day. These Fogbeasts, along with other strange Creatures, wander the Foglands and attack any trapped inside. And that is not to mention the Fogeaters.
Mixed Magic is claimed to draw its power from the Fog. Many cults and esoteric religions have been created in an attempt to rationalize where exactly it comes from, the most esoteric of which claim the Fog is somehow connected to the corpses of Ancient Gods.
The Fog is slowly spreading, and will likely consume the entire world if not stopped.
