The air in this zone is perpetually thick with smoke, creating an otherworldly and mysterious atmosphere. In the center of the zone is a forest, known as "Mistwood Forest", which acts as a natural barrier against the dense smoke and offers safety to its inhabitants. Within the forest lies a small village formed along the tree tops connected by drawbridges called "Mistwood Refuge". Outside of the forest lurks hostile creatures that hunt those unwise enough to stray outside the protection of the trees.
