The Haze

The Haze that once spread out from the Crater down into the city and out along the river valley, even to the Old Fern Forest, now has dissipated in all but the city and mountain of Auramontis itself. This strange, reddish, fog-like chemical is mildly toxic to most creatures.

Symptoms

Haze Effects

Inside the Haze, one does not receive benefit from a long rest (but one may short rest).

Deep Haze

Some parts of the city and the Crater are exposed to a denser concentration of the haze than the rest. In Deep Haze, a player must make a constitution saving throw every hour, receiving one level of exhaustion on each failure. Each spell cast has a 10% chance of causing a wild magic surge (1 on a d10).

History

The Haze seeped out from the meteorite for decades, twisting and defiling the inhabitants of the land as it crept out from Auramontis into the surrounding countryside, and into the Old Fern Forest. This persisted until the Haze was cleansed by a Wish spell, whereupon it was transformed into a healing mist.
