Mistlight

*The world is trapped inside of a haunting fog that surrounds the realm. The realm and accessible surrounding areas are a rough and difficult place to live. There are only a few hours of daylight per day. Sometimes one. Sometimes none at all.*

*The Mists themselves are a mystery. Most who enter the mists never return. Those that do are changed in such a way that they are unrecognizable or utterly insane. Nothing comes out of the mist. But sleeping close to the mist many have reported hearing monstrous noises and terrible whispers."*

Mistlight is a Gothic horror / dark fantasy D&D 5e homebrew about four adventurers' journey with karma, sanity, and mutated monstrosities as they navigate the mysterious and otherworldly mist blanketing the land. It is created, developed and produced by Tablestory resident GM BradWOTO.
