History & Usage

History

The Mist has been known by the denizens of the world since life itself came to exist. It has been a constant, guiding and being guided in turn by the land and the life around it. The first elder Beasts were the first to truly begin to understand the Mist and how its impact on the world. When the Cres were created, it took them very little time to take note of its existence and begin to study it just as the Beasts did. Through research they have gained much insight into the workings of the mysterious substance and its relation to Runic in particular, allowing for numerous advances in Runic technology in the pre-Collapse society. Post-Collapse, much of the specifics have been lost along with so much other knowledge. What remains has been passed down through word of mouth, and many of the details have been lost or warped over the years. The only ones with a somewhat working knowledge of what the Mist truly is and does are those who join a sect and swear an Oath.
