This place works just fine! Given the current state of Godly Affairs, the Fog God will likely come to Noel in a dream rather than any sort of material form. Further, she will try to paint herself in a somewhat sympathetic light; rather than "you can only protect her with my help," she would say things like "join me, and I will give you my aid."

Finally, she will likely refer to him as "one of the first chosen" at some point during the conversation!
