Mist Walker

In the embrace of Vel'Crag's Moor, the Mist-Walker’s Kin has learned that the Mist is more than just a shroud—it’s a storyteller. They chase the ever-rolling veil, sentient and strange, whispering tales of lost souls and forgotten tragedies. Some say the Mist brings madness. Others say it brings truth. For the Mist-Walker, it brings purpose. With hood drawn and lantern lit, they chart its course—investigators, grief-mappers, or storm-chasing scholars walking the edges of what the world refuses to face. Theirs is a haunting inquiry—a relentless pursuit of what lies beneath the veil the Mist refuses to lift.
