Now, the capital was a cursed ruin enveloped by sickly green mist. Jaime had sent a party to scout inside. As soon as the first man entered the fog, he dropped dead to the ground, and his flesh melted off in mere minutes. From the accounts of the scouts, the foul mist remained unaffected by wind or rain and did not disperse with time either. Cersei and Tommen were beyond lucky to get out of King's Landing alive.
