The world of Mistfall Hunter is a collapsed dark-fantasy realm where the divine have fallen and a corrupting mist has taken over. This page gathers the confirmed lore: the war that broke the world, the forces still moving through it, and the figures the player is bound to. Some of these details come from a handful of development notes and in-world journals, so the threads here are what the makers have shared so far rather than a complete history.
The war of Gods and Outer Gods
The backdrop is a war between the Gods and the Outer Gods. The gods lost. When the divine fell, their spilled blood became the Gyldenmist, a substance that spreads madness and corruption. With the gods gone and the mist rising, civilization came apart.
The Gyldenmist and the Corroded
The Gyldenmist is the force consuming the world. Where it breaks out, it draws hunters toward it and twists living things into monsters. Those corrupted creatures are the Corroded, the common threat that fills the maps. The mist and its monsters are detailed further on Enemies and Bosses.
Dew and the resurrected hunter
A fragment of the Fate Goddess endures as a mysterious girl named Dew. She revives fallen heroes by weaving them immortal flesh, granting them new bodies so they can fight on. The player is one of these resurrected warriors, a Gyldhunter. Early materials sometimes spell the title "Gylden Hunter," but it refers to the same role: the looting, fighting, extracting protagonist the player embodies.
The Web of Fate
What the Gyldhunter ultimately works toward is the Web of Fate, which the player is meant to mend by harvesting Gyldenblood. The makers describe it with the line that the Web of Fate does not judge, it remembers. The mechanics of harvesting and extracting that Gyldenblood are on Gyldenblood and Extraction.
Deities and faith
A few named deities surface in the world's stories. Hunters are shown praying to Kjernnos, and a goddess named Mysti appears in character backstories. There is also a legend of Saeria Sith, described as the incarnation of the Supreme Deity. These names come from in-world journals and development notes, so their full roles are not yet spelled out.
The Mistchasers
An organization called the Mistchasers explores the mist and records what is happening to the world. Their writings, framed as a Mistchaser's Journal, follow members and allies moving through the ruined land and serve as one of the lore sources for the setting.
The Blasphemers
Not everyone left turns toward faith. The Blasphemers are those who turn away from it and seize holy relics to wield as weapons. The named example is Yorol, a former Reverent Seer, tied to the holy relic Absolution. That relic also appears as a high-end weapon in the gear system covered on Progression, Skills, and Talents.
