In the Innistrad province of Nephalia, the foggy, quiet port of Selhoff is where the Nebelgast, the spirit-mist, is most active.
Description
Mist almost perpetually covers the town and the nearby Morkrut Swamp. Because of the spirit activity here, it has repelled some humans, but it has attracted others — namely the skaberen and alchemists who experiment with geist energy. The elite of Selhoff dwell within towers and spires that set this town apart from others of Nephalia, which is why the phrase "the spires of Selhoff" is often used when Nephalians talk of their southernmost town.
The Nebelgast
The so-called 'Breath of the Sleepless', a geist-filled fog. In Selhoff and all along the Nephalian coastline, these spirits come and go with the tide, but that isn't to say that when the tide is out, spirits are absent (there are just far fewer). Because the tide is connected to the moon, the pull of the moon brings the spirits into the world of the living to haunt. The Nebelgast consists mainly of the marei (drowned sailors and shipwreck victims), the niblis (frost phantoms), but there is a host of other ghosts and spirits that are pulled by the moon as well.
