The Whiteness, also referred to as the Mist Wall, was a natural phenomenon on Age 37 consisting of a 'wall' of white mist beyond which nothing was visible. The natives of Age 37 had both fear and reverence for the Whiteness, and claimed that it was their "Master" prior to Gehn's arrival on the Age.
When Atrus directed a small boat crew, consisting of old man Tarkuk and his son Birili, to investigate the Whiteness their boat almost capsized due to the native crewmembers' fear of the Whiteness. Atrus directed the crew to row to safety, after which Tarkuk insisted that Atrus had "cheated" the Whiteness.
