<em>An archipelago of islands make up the Water Country, an area usually covered in thick mists of varying humidity. In between the islands on which villagers, merchants and farmers all live, are series of lakes and swamps. Croaking frogs and toads usually form the background noise. Criminal activity was at an unusual all-time low before the Mist Civil War broke out, and now, just over a week into the conflict, the islands outside the Mist village remain eerily quiet. This would be also in part due to the fact that many civilians have for their own reasons gone into the Mist village in order to support one faction or the other. <br/>Some villagers remain, however, tucked up in their island homes, afraid that the war may soon come to claim them. There have been reports of pockets of fighting spilling out of the Mist village and reaching these islands...but the vision-reducing mist makes it hard to spy any combat from a distance.</em>
