>From what little research I did, I had understood that a substantial chunk of the sun-blotting fog was actually 'vog', which outgassed from major eruptions in Iceland. Iceland underwent several periods of volcanic activity during the 'Dark Ages', where multiple volcanic vents burped out stifling clouds of gas. The gas periodically got so thick and noxious that it poisoned vegetation, killed animals, and sickened almost everyone else; there was at least one major exodus of survivors around 770 a.c.e.
