[QUOTE="SAKE ttrpg, post: 9320943, member: 7043954"] [HEADING=2][ATTACH type="full"]358778[/ATTACH][/HEADING] [HEADING=2]The Mist[/HEADING] The ever-expanding Mist looms over the Asteanic World. As long as humans remember, it has always been there – albeit a bit smaller than now. The Mist expands by around 1km per year at present – but its growth is not consistent, seeming to accelerate as it enlarges. Nonetheless, the process is slow enough that amidst their internal conflicts, and the rise and fall of empires, people do not pay it too much attention. Thus, inhabitants of the Asteanic World find themselves in a situation today where a giant spot of emptiness stares back from the map – nearly as vast as [B]Thefna Archipelago[/B] – yet surprisingly little is known about its nature and origins. In terms of the Asteanic cultural sphere, the Mist is distant – it has only reached the Ocean, traversed by Asteanic merchant ships, within the turbulent past few centuries. Consequently, Asteans allocate relatively little time and resources to its exploration – the nations and lands getting shrouded into the Mist are distant and inconsequential to them. [I]In the early 16th century, the Mist engulfed the small[/I] [I][B]Forestside tsardom[/B][/I] [I]in[/I] [I][B]Tserkeššia[/B][/I]. Adventurous Asteans from Nileen conducted the evacuation of the Forestside people, but they had their own more sinister motives. Subsequently, the Forestside tsar and his warriors were drawn into the [I][B]La Mepho-Delagrua’n Asteanic Empire's[/B][/I] [I]civil war as mercenaries, while the remaining populace was abandoned in the outskirts of[/I] [I][B]Ehnation[/B][/I] [I]– expanding one of its slums –[/I] [I][B]Strugglefield[/B][/I], as a result. [HEADING=2]The Mist – What Do We Know?[/HEADING] However, not everything is entirely mysterious, and the peoples around the Mist actually know quite a bit about its workings and how to avoid it – to be fair, it's not that difficult – just don’t walk into it. The Mist merges the Otherworld and the human world into one; in areas covered with Mist, there is no separate Otherworld, and astral travellers cannot journey there. In the rest of the world, there exists some form of Otherworld everywhere, but not in Mist-covered areas. Just as the Mist consumes the human world, it also devours pockets of the Otherworld – melding them with the human realm or erasing them completely. This has a side effect – areas surrounding the Mist are teeming with all sorts of Otherworldlings, as they too must retreat from the Mist.
