Mists
ConceptThick white mists forming at night, clouding air, pouring and pooling like living entities, feared by skaa, burn away in sunlight.
The Mists begin as an enigmatic nocturnal phenomenon in the Final Empire, feared by the skaa and dismissed as a natural hazard by the nobility. By the time of the Well of Ascension, they have become an active, almost sentient force—thickening, twisting like vines, and reshaping the very landscape of Luthadel. Their evolution from passive backdrop to a pervasive, almost living presence signals a deeper connection to the world's metaphysical balance and the shifting power structures that follow the Lord Ruler's fall.
