The Mists

The Mists are the oldest thing in existence, the proto-reality that exists between the worlds, constituting the fabric of time and space that connects the multiverse together. Everything that has existed, does exist, and will exist is made out of the Mists.

Within the Mists are worlds (of which Tyria is just one), each with their own realities and histories, floating as islands in the ether. Humans are from one of these worlds, brought to Tyria by the Six Gods. The alien riftstalkers and riftcrawlers originate either from the Mists or unknown realms within the Mists.

The Mists resonate from the worlds around them, forming bits of their own reality—islands of existence that reflect the histories of their worlds. Some worlds are enormous, such as the Underworld, the home of the dead; others are simply residences for powerful spirits or deities. At the center of the Mists is the Rift, and within the Rift is the Hall of Heroes, the final resting place of powerful and virtuous souls.
