City of Mist - 1

Here’s the lowdown: City of Mist is a modern city where legends are real. It’s not as if knights and monsters walk down Main Street donning shining armor or breathing fire, but rather that knights and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes.

These people, known as Rifts, live out a modern version of their legends, called Mythoi, and sometimes can even make the shining armor real or breathe actual fire – but they still have their ordinary lives. On the occasions when they tap into their Mythos, a mysterious and mystical force hides their miraculous powers from those who have not awakened to the legend inside them: the sleepwalking residents of the City. It makes armor look like a flak vest and fire breathing like a party trick or a gas leak explosion, so no one ever knows about the Rifts except the Rifts. This mystical veil is the Mist. This is its City.
