The mist drags itself from the ocean onto the land. What used to be a purely thermodynamic reaction has evolved in the last few hundred years. As humans altered the weather the mist changed. Extreme temperatures on-land and at-sea changed how nature made it’s mist. It changed how often it came and how it felt on the skin. With these changes came a need for technology to navigate the fog. First, out at sea and eventually on-land and in the sky. Of course, the more pressing issue was the extreme weather. That needed more extreme solutions. One of those solutions was to spray the skies. The artificial clouds and chemicals did help reduce the temperature. There were, however, unintended effects, such as this strange fog that would fall from the skies and crawl across the surface. No one would complain about such side effects. They were known risks when the skies were sprayed. The sky continues to be sprayed. The Earth was is still in such tender position that no past measures are seen as too extreme. Mist is also an easy thing to manufacture. Much more extreme reactions are made in mass. Sometimes this on accident, as people try to cool the land and sea off. Other times, this is done intentionally by cities as a surprise weather day or to keep alive an identity and nostalgia for a phenomenon that no longer occurs naturally in that city. Travelers can also make use of fog. Given how harsh some places can be to live, fog provides an easy way to hide. Or the perfect cover for an ambush. This diversity in creation makes makes mist an unpredictable phenomenon. One must always be prepared to be surprised by its arrival. It’s impossible to always know the mist’s intentions.
