Well; one of the ideas I had was that they could "unzip" reality to enter into the Mists at any place, so they can appear and disappear from pretty much anywhere by creating mist gateways. As for the world being too dangerous; it's not so much. It's more of a blank space - think of a Minecraft world with the render distance turned down really low; so all you see is fog and the ground around you. Everything that the Nihlic clan targets with their "Nihlic elemental attacks" isn't destroyed, but it ends up all throughout Nihlus's realm, so aside for their village, there's random rubble, buildings, skeletons... it's basically a Hammerspace portal for things that aren't claimed.

Some characters, like Rageik's wife, can even become intangible by converting their body into mist, with certain tradeoffs. But these are just some of the ideas I've got, and also part of why I like the idea of the mist being a labyrinth, so anybody that tries to follow them get stuck.
