| A Mistway is a type of path, usually located close to a [[domain]]'s border, leading through a bank of [[Ravenloft]]'s [[mists]], that may or may not deposit the traveller where he was expecting to go. Mistways vary in reliability to requiring a specific trigger to activate. Mistways can lead to literally anywhere, even providing an escape from the Demiplane itself (which, of course, is exceedingly rare.) A traveler making use of a mistway located in icy reaches of [[Vorostokov]] may find themselves, moments later, in the searing desert domain of [[Har'Akir]].

| Travelling a mistway is just as dangerous as blindly entering the mists. Only the [[Vistani]] and [[Mist Ferryman|Mist Ferrymen]] can expect to reach the desired destination at the other end of the mistway.
| |
| | |
| Several Mistways have been identified by the denizens of the Demiplane, however given their shaky reliability, only the more brave, foolhardy, or exceptionally desperate will make use of them.
| |
| | |
| ==Types of Mistways==
| |
| | |
| '''Permanent Mistways:''' A good number of these mistways have been discovered and documented by explorers, and their reliability ranges from reasonable to dangerously unreliable. Below is a listing of know, and oft-used Mistways.
| |
| | |
| '''Temporal Mistways''' These mistways are triggered by seasonal, astronomical, and time-based events. Some may only operate in the summer, or some may operate only during an eclipse, etc etc.
| |
| | |
| '''Conditional Mistways''' Mistways that are triggered by entirely random events. A mistway may only operate for the undead, or a mistway may only open for someone who has never failed a [[powers check]], for example.
| |
| | |
| '''Ritual Mistways''' These are always triggered by some evil act, and the more atrocious the act, the better of a chance the mistway will open and operate correctly. Considering the nature of these horrible paths, some are simply one-way trips to a [[pocket domain]] awaiting a new evil master.
