The Fog: As A Setting



The Fog is a "Home brew" realm where the characters find themselves lost after an incident.  The incident is unique to the individual but seems to center mostly around an event that could kill a person: i.e. a fall from a horse.  This also leads to the wide spread belief that you may be in a purgatory or a weird afterlife. Some also believe that you are in a pocket dimension. Like a bag of holding gone wrong. What ever you believe you are here now.  What you do next will be totally up to you.  

The party up to this point has been trying to find a way out.  There is a town and there are people but society here is probably unlike where you are from and most find it unpleasant. 
 
Which brings us to the fog.  The fog is the only terrain outside of town.  The ground is rocky plates of shale and limestone.  Efforts to map the area are useless because land and objects will shift when out of view.  The fog only allows ten feet of vision with good light.  Further with infravision, but not much, and in no way reliable. Out in the fog not only is there every manner of beast and creature but there are also people and often mysterious "shipments" containing weapons, armor, food, drugs and all manners of supply. They appear just as you have. Out of no where but obviously from somewhere.   

 
 It will be your quest to navigate this environment.
