Phantom's Fog is the name given to an anomoly that has plagued the Grey River Basin since RY 437. No one is certain as to the cause of the fog or its motives but every few years it returns to the area to renew its fear in the hearts of those who live in the area.

The fog rises up out of the river itself as it forms in the Grey River. You can see spectral shapes and skeletal limbs moving about the fog as it rolls onto land. It often hits land near Nexus and moves through that area, though never entering the city, across the river and through the area of Melevhil. It continues northward but none have ever followed it to its end. Locals believe that it travels back to the pits of the Underworld from whence it came.

When an unfortuante victim gets caught in the fog they are ripped limb from limb. Sometimes the remaining bodies show signs of great trauma like a sledge upon the bodies. Most times though, the screams are the only things left of the person that entered the fog. The body never falls to the ground, though there will be blood stained grass, no signs of a body will be found.

The fog is light green in color, a pale putrid shade, and it glows with the Essence of the undead trapped within its billows. The fog will come regardless of the weather and sometimes even the season. It most commonly occurs in the months of Wood but has been known to be seen in Air as well as Fire, though rare. The fog does not lose momentum for anything or any terrain, once in motion it continues until it reaches its destination. The fog generally appears every three to five years, there is one instance where is appear three times in one year. People will remain within their homes when the fog has been spotted, seeking whatever shelter they can find. Some have described the fog as stretching across the horizon eating all living creatures in its path. Though no real testimonials exists as most people are too afraid to look out or perish when they do.
