Mists of Fate

Mists of Fate

Last Update: 04/02/2024

The Mists of Fate surround the entire continent of Astrium and obscures our realm from scrutiny. It is claimed that the mists were created when the fae wyldes collided with Astrium, though no one knows for sure or how the collision happened.

People who have become lost often end up here, through wayward portals, drowned at sea, or merely in some faraway forest. It was once nearly impossible to find the lands without a guide, yet, now that the mists have receded some, more and more people are wandering in.

To leave Astrium, one must board a special boat built with magic and prayers. These boats are made to find the portals in the mists to other realms. Thankfully, there are many such boats available should you have the means. Trade ships often come and go, the people on them specifically chosen for their ability to travel the worlds without being trapped.

However, the mists themselves determine who is allowed to enter and leave the realm so be wary and hope you have their blessings. It’s difficult, but still possible. If you have a Fate bestowed upon you by the mists, you may find yourself trapped here to fulfill it. Of course, you may also create your own portal to leave if you are powerful enough or perhaps you are creative and found another way out?

Strange things happen in them, from odd beasts seen nowhere else, to changes happening to those who become lost to them. Time means nothing. People who wander further into the lands, away from the shore’s edge and passed the mountains rarely return.

Shrouds, creatures of fate, wander the mists, protecting the land and bringing chaos as they see fit. Occasionally a Shroud will leave the mists to guide a particular person on a path of fate.
