Mists
visual_ruleThick white mists forming at night, clouding air, pouring and pooling like living entities, feared by skaa, burn away in sunlight.
In the Mistborn series, the mists emerge as an iconic nocturnal phenomenon in The Final Empire, shrouding the land in thick, living white tendrils that terrify the skaa and vanish under the sun's glare, symbolizing the oppressive Final Empire's eerie veil. By The Well of Ascension, they intensify into denser, persistent gray-white shrouds that twist like vines, transforming cities into labyrinthine shadows and hinting at deeper cosmic unrest amid escalating conflicts. This evolution foreshadows their cataclysmic role as harbingers of the Ruin-preservation schism, pulling back the curtain on Allomancy's primordial origins.
