((It might be a bit helpful to get some information on where we are, what's happening and such. Otherwise there's literally no information to work off of aside from the vaguest of setting descriptions.))
Erlith was the capital of the known world before it became consumed in the fog, and much of the region's infrastructure is based on supporting the city. there is a large region of land surrounding it that is open farmland, with improved roads designed for large amounts of traffic leading inwards towards the city. the roads themselves have periodic rest facilities to support the large volume of traffic that comes up and down them normally. however, since the fog the roads have become quite desolate. The city itself, despite being a coastal city with a significant fishing fleet, cannot feed itself without outside help, and based on how long the fog has been there, everyone inside
should be trying to deal with starvation issues. Beyond the capital province, the territory begins to stabilize and is less focused on supporting the single super-city, but Erlith's influence is still noticeable. many businesses are reliant on sending or receiving goods to and from Erlith, and the sudden loss has caused such businesses to shut down or pay exorbitant prices for alternate supply sources. The government of the country was based in Erlith, and only minor regional governors didn't operate from inside there. This is the main cause of the disorganization and petty power politics regarding attempting to stop whatever is happening. The regional governors are trying to work together, but with their own interests in mind they aren't willing to take risks or make sacrifices that would degrade their authority.
The technology of the world is a little... eccentric. machines are commonly viewed as unreliable ways to blow yourself up, and inventors and scientists are sources of horror rather than sources of hope. Despite this, there has been signifigant amounts of research and innovation done. This has lead to most places having a medieval baseline tech level, but with complex machinery, firearms, and robotics available inconsistantly. for example you might have a medieval-style inn, with most everything at a medieval norm, but having plumbing availble in every room and a water heater kept in the basement, in a reinforced room inaccessible to the clientele.
As for what is happening inside the city? That is unknown. communications, scrying, and scouting is able to go in, but nothing is coming out except the occasional undead patrol.
