Passing through Drake-Crest Pass is hazardous, to say the least. An atmosphere of toxic fog blocks easy passage through the mountains in all but one area, that area being a series of tunnels and mountain passes that hug low to the feet of the mountains and hills and connect the southern village of Caesi Shripomn to the northern village Uska Coast. The way is marked with strange dragon totems that clear out the fog in regular intervals, which are activated with an ancient token when it comes within range of them.
The toxic haze is caused by the volcanic activity on the island, spewing from vents here and there throughout the crags. Exposure forces a Physical Save every Turn (15 minutes) that the victim remains in it, with failure accruing a point of System Strain. Maximizing System Strain renders them unconscious, where they begin to suffocate on the heavy gases.
