The Known World and the Mists
Divided between the Known World and the Mists, the Mistgate setting is one where monumental events have shaped not only the history of the world but also have left visible scars upon it.
Explore the ever expanding frontiers of the Known World, or traverse the infininte expanse of the Mists using the Mistgates or sailing the Mist Sea upon Mistbreaker ships.
Magic and Technology
In Mistgate, the ability to manipulate magic unassisted is a rare gift. Instead, spellcasters rely on tapping into the streams of magical energy that flow throughout the world known as aether or its crystalized form, aetheryte. Because of its importance in magic, aetheryte is a critical resource throughout the Known World.
In the absence of abundant magic, technological advancement has thrived. With the recent discovery of artifacts from an age long past, the union of magic and technology in the form of magictech has propelled the world toward a new age of magical- and technological revolution.
Ruins and the Mysteries of the Past
Long abandoned ruins lay scattered throughout the Known World and the Mists, holding secrets of the past and ancient artifacts. The Great Ruin, the apocalyptic-scale event that brought about the end of the Herald's civilization, warped time and space in an explosion of magical energy scattering remnants of their civilization to all corners of existence.
