Mistwardens
The islands of the Northwest are filled with oddities, but local pirates know to beware the fogs that can settle without warning onto reefs and small fishing towns. Often, fog is merely fog, and can be ignored if you can sail through it safely. But sometimes it means that an island is under the protection of a mistwarden, and those who bear it ill will should beware.
Mistwardens are an outgrowth of the endless war between the air and water courts; water elementals who have taken on a hint of the nature of Air, and who are fully capable of defending themselves if needed. They tend to shun the organized courts, preferring to find people and places to defend, and lurk quietly observing until their new charges need help. When this happens, fog sets in and comes alive, and would-be attackers are disoriented, drawn off-course, and killed by choking strands of water that slide into their throats when they are unprepared. The Mistwardens are ruthless to those that offend them, and protective of those they choose.
It usually does not take long for a town to realize it has been protected, and mistwardens can become upset if they feel that they are not appreciated - in fact, if after several defenses their charge has not realized or recognized the source of his protection, a mistwarden will typically leave in frustration to find someone more understanding. They enjoy sacrifices of fruits and small birds, and even small sacrifices are usually enough to keep them around indefinitely.
