Travelers to Mycorzha, often seasonal traders who specialize in locally prized crops or exotic spices, are referred to as having come from “Beyond the Mysts” or "Beyonders" by the locals regardless of their place of origin.

While some from Mycorzha also travel the oceans for trade or the occasional vacation, travel (like everything here) can take a long time. All travel across the oceans is done through wind power (no electric motors), and so it relies heavily on the present weather. This is because when passing through the Mysts and into Beyond (or from Beyond into the Mysts) if motors are running the ship will always mysteriously sink, resulting in a rim around the Isles of shipwrecks as far as the eye can see. Some of these shipwrecks are also war ships even without running motors - which broke down immediately upon arrival.

The Mysts are not fully understood, but they function somewhat like a portal for those who can sail past them. This connects Mycorzha to all kinds of realms. Traders are kind and well thought of, many revisiting year after year to the delight of their local friends. On rare occasions individuals from Mycorzha have been know to permanently relocate beyond the mysts as well, usually only when falling in love with a trades creature, and will come back to say hello as often as they can afford to.

Those Beyond the Mysts can have vastly different cultures, some of which the people of Mycorzha find concerning. Recently some traders have come by, feeling very clever, trying to sell mechanical devices which made things faster but spewed a white cloud of toxic smoke. The elderly say they have heard of the white smoke before, and were taught that it formed a ruins to the north. As such it is to be strictly avoided. The creatures of Mycorzha do not trade with those who bring the toxic mechanical tools.

While everyone in Mycorzha speaks the same language the travelers usually do not speak it, so nearly all trade happens using pictography. Trade towns that work with those beyond the mysts are incredibly artistic as a result, bright and colorful and filled with artistic depictions of nearly everything you could imagine.
