Spell: Shroud of the Provinces

By gathering dewdrops collected on a foggy morning, you can distill the essence of that fog and release it over a settlement. While this is generally used to protect a settlement from the attention of nearby battles, raiders targeting the port city of Ridonport once used it to disorient the town before their attack. While the shroud hangs, a fine mist coats that area. It dampens uncovered surfaces and pools into thick drops of condensation.

he shroud shades the settlement. The light level is one level darker than normal (bright light becomes dim light, and dim light becomes darkness). Creatures within the shroud are Concealed from those outside. Within the shroud, sound does not travel farther than 30 feet, and creatures are concealed to all creatures further than 30 feet away.
