the mistlands are the new mountains. you go, get what you need, and don't return. I don't hate it, exactly, but I see no reason to live there or spend a lot of time in it. Esp since they were kind enough to send bug-meat to my home and bunnies can be collected along ML borders without hunting/effort easily enough, or hang out at a dwarf outpost with spikes.

fun... not as much. Visibility really, really damages that. I didn't hate the time there, but it was less enjoyable that places I can see, where I can find a new POI or sweet base location.
