The City of Mists is an abandoned city that resides deep within The Deadly Slues that once was a great hub of trade and commerce, which made the city very rich and prosperous. It got its name from the fact that the city is regulary shrouded in mists that rise up from the surrounding swamp and engulf the city. It once sat in the very middle of the only road that could safely pass through the Slues and allow traders in the east and west to connect with each other. However, it was eventually abandoned when a regional trader, who grew tired of the excessive taxes and tariffs imposed by the city's leaders, secretly built a new trade road through the swamps that went around the city. Deprived of its primary form of revenue, the city was eventually abandoned and left to die a slow death surrounded by nearly impenetrable, impassable swamp. The ruins of the city later were adopted by Meltok and became a favorite killing field of his.
