Hmmm ... the mechanical dilemma. Let's examine a few givens:
1) Magic as well as all machines are rendered useless within the mist.
2) Magic and machines become more hindered the closer they
approach the mist.
3) Magic is much more effected than machines.
So with all this said, an airship can safely approach and land in a Realm
that is not covered by mist, but if it tries to enter the mist, all
functions shut down and it tumbles towards the earth.
The effects of the mist on humans ... that has not been examined yet.
For now, it's known that when inside the mist, the visibility is limited to
not more than a foot ahead of you. Most humans have a very hard time
breathing the mist as well. It's very thick. More on that as the need arises.
