Mirefall: The Forgotten Bog of Black Veil County

-

Tucked away in the northeast corner of Black Veil County lies Mirefall, a place of treacherous beauty and unsettling silence. Once a bustling town, Mirefall is now little more than a ghost of its former self. The sprawling bogs that surround it have swallowed not just its land but its history, leaving behind only whispers of what came before.

A Town Shrouded in Mist

Mirefall wasn’t always the desolate, swampy wasteland it is today. Once, it thrived as a town of hunters and gatherers, sustained by the rich wetlands and vibrant wildlife. The people of Mirefall were known for their resilience and peculiar traditions—rituals involving the bogs, offerings to unseen forces, and a reverence for the ever-present mist.

The town’s name itself came from the legend of the Falling Mire, a phenomenon where the ground would seemingly collapse into the bogs, taking anything—or anyone—unlucky enough to be nearby.


The Fall of Mirefall

The turning point came during The Great Rift. As the fog deepened across Black Veil County, Mirefall’s bogs began to grow unnaturally, creeping closer to the town. Houses sank, roads disappeared, and entire sections of the town were lost to the quagmire.

Locals spoke of strange lights dancing over the marshes at night, of voices calling from the water. Some blamed the expansion of the bogs on the relics unearthed in nearby Ashwick. Others whispered of curses placed by those who wanted Mirefall gone.

By the time the Rift was over, Mirefall was nearly uninhabitable. The remaining residents abandoned the town, leaving it to the mist and the whispers of the bog.

A Place of No Return

Today, Mirefall is a place few dare to visit. The bogs are vast and treacherous, with pathways that shift and vanish without warning. Those who have attempted to explore the area report:

  • Strange Lights: Faint glows, moving in the distance, almost as if leading the way—only for the ground to give out beneath their feet.
  • Whispers: Voices, faint and indistinct, calling from the mist, always just out of reach.
  • Vanishing Landmarks: Maps are useless in Mirefall; the landscape seems to change, rearranging itself to trap the unwary.

One local legend warns of the Bog Keeper, a figure said to roam the marshes, ensuring no one disturbs the secrets buried in the mire.

What Lies Beneath

Despite the danger, Mirefall has become a subject of fascination for urban explorers and lore seekers. Many believe its bogs hold relics from The Great Rift or even older artifacts tied to the county’s darker history.

But the bog doesn’t give up its secrets easily. The few who’ve returned speak of sinking sensations, shadows in the mist, and the sense that the land itself was watching them.

Would You Dare to Explore Mirefall?

Mirefall is more than just a remnant of Black Veil County’s past—it’s a living enigma, a place where history, legend, and the supernatural converge.

The Lantern Man’s Light - Short Story

-

Eliza Marlow knew better than to wander Graveridge’s streets on a foggy night. Everyone knew the warning: never follow an unfamiliar light. Yet here she was, clutching her shawl against the chill, her eyes straining to see through the oppressive gray fog that swallowed the cobblestones and every familiar landmark. A faint glow flickered ahead. A lantern. “Finally,” she muttered, her voice trembling with relief. Hours had passed since she’d lost her way, and the sight of a light—and possibly another person, sparked a fragile hope. She quickened her pace, her heels clicking against the cobblestones in the dense silence. The lantern hovered at a distance, swaying slightly as though held by an unseen hand. “Hello?” Eliza called. “Can you help me?” No reply. The light began to move, slowly, deliberately. It seemed to guide her, and she followed, reasoning that any light was better than being alone in the fog. But unease gnawed at her. The stories of the Lantern Man, often whispered around h...
