My Moder Search Adventure

I've been working my way toward Mistlands playing no-map, no-portal, and it's taking forever to find Moder. I think I finally got a good bead on the location. I found a Vegvisir in an ice cave on a mountain surrounded by plains and mistland, and it points straight to what appears to be a very large mountain. Unfortunately, Mistland is in my way!

The only way I've found to get to the mountain is from my landing point in a sliver of black forest, which requires going a significant distance through the plains, over a mountain, through more plains, then crossing water through what looks like mostly mistlands.

I didn't want to haul my longship and all my stuff over, just to be dissapointed (or killed in the process), so I decided to collect the parts to build a karve. I was able to get everything except the fine wood, which I cut "along the way" in the plains.

Plopped down my new mini-ship, started sailing, and saw this:

What could go wrong?

I saw a small opening to the left, so I sailed through it. Sailed past mistlands left and right until the sun was setting, and then the miracle happened!

I hope this mountain really does have Moder, and I hope I can find my (real) ship again, with all my stuff. Otherwise I'm $%#%$! :-)

I finally found a way through the encircling mistlands so that I could get my ship though, but it was not fun, some of which included standing on the back of a Leviathan all night in a terrible storm, watching my mini-ship bob in the water along side.

Moder was a push over to my silver sword and bonemass power, but I'm tired of running over 4 mountain ranges to get from my outpost to my ship, overtop of cliffs that drop into mistland.

I sailed away from the mountain two days ago, and I'm pretty sure I'm currently sailing around the edge of the world. It's all Mistlands, and I can't find a way through. I'm sure there wasn't this much Mistlands previously.

In any case, I'm currently standing on the back of another Leviathan in the middle of the night in a terrible storm. At least I have a real ship bobbing in the water next to it... maybe three ship lengths from what appears to be a nice tropical rock covered in mist!

At least a half success. I did find Moder on this mountain range:

I tore down the mostly torn down tower to build a small stone shack to live in up here. Now I need to figure out how to get back to at least my last outpost. I have 3 or 4 outposts stretching across half the world at this point, where I've had to leave stuff, but I think I have all I need in my ship, which is at the last outpost.

There are 4-5 peaks in this range, and Moder is in the furthest one from where I entered, but I did see a significant amount of black forest below in one place, which might be a good place to R&R and collect resources.

Maybe I can figure out how to get my ship there.
