That is the fog weather effect, and there is an egg for it west of the List Field. It only happens once.

It also happens before you meet Thoxa near the beach boulder.

Fog should probably not be quite uniform, but something with greater opacity the more distant from the npc you're controlling. Not sure how to make it look good, for a special effect it's quite lacking. Maybe why it was used sparingly.

Also it should lift gradually.

It does lift gradually unlese you do something like open a gump in the transition time. Fog had been disabled forever because it's flaky in the original but it's KC's fault that I brought it back. I tried to add a cloud to it which looks good at first but we lack fine weather control, so too many clouds get added which often go in different directions....

It also has a specific plot purpose in my mod, so hopefully the few times it appears in the original game aren't too bothersome.
