Mist Sickness
visual_ruleDaytime mist exposure causes sickness in exactly 16% of population (precise to the man), unaffected by demographics; manifests as disease with variable mortality.
Mist Sickness emerges in The Hero of Ages as a precise, almost mathematical affliction: exactly sixteen percent of the population falls ill after daytime mist exposure, regardless of age, health, or social standing. The disease's rigid statistical nature hints at a deeper, possibly supernatural design, transforming the mists from a familiar nocturnal presence into a source of dread and mortality. Its sudden, unerring selectivity forces characters to confront the possibility that the very fabric of their world is being rewritten by forces beyond their comprehension.
