How it fits. The renderer already has a fog color and a far plane; a fog bank is a height and density field plus a local volume, not a full volumetric simulation. The weather system can drive density and drift. Audio can low-pass distant sources as the fog thickens.

Scope.

A height fog with a drifting density field.
Local banks in the reserve and along the water.
Lamp halos and a wet, muffled mix.
A sunrise burn-off.
A debug slider for density and height.

Related. #47 (weather), #48 (rain), #193 (ambient beds), #220 (storms).

Fog changes a place more than rain does. A low bank rolling through the reserve, hiding the far buildings, turning lamps into halos, and muffling sound would make the campus feel much bigger. It is also cheap: a height fog and a few billboards. **How it fits.** The renderer already has a fog color and a far plane; a fog bank is a height and density field plus a local volume, not a full volumetric simulation.
