Those who dare travel beyond Greyhaven find themselves in a shrouded, ever-shifting landscape where warming light seldom reaches the ground. Bounded by fetid marshes on the west and the Dunwarr Mountains to the north, these are the cursed lands of the thirteenth baron of Terrinoth, he whose seat at Archaut has remained empty for hundreds of generations. This region is filled with volcanic crags and sprawling marshlands that bubble and boil, expelling murderous gases and trapping foolish adventurers in their black muck for eternity. This is the Mistlands, the domain of Waiqar the Undying, nearly impassable since his betrayal so many hundreds of years ago. From the Mistlands, he launches his dark campaigns to raze Terrinoth and gain control over the runebound shards. As his power has grown over the centuries, the Mistlands has spread beyond the original bounds of the Thirteenth Barony. Inexorably, it continues to extend ever farther into the lands of the living.
