Season of Mists consists of The Sandman issues #21-28. The fourth collection belongs with the first as perhaps one of the two collections most focused on Morpheus himself.
It begins with an Endless family meeting, descending almost immediately into an Endless family argument. Desire angers Morpheus by taunting him about his intolerant treatment of a former lover, whose story formed the prologue to the second collection, The Doll's House. Death angers him further by agreeing with Desire, but Morpheus' immense respect for Death leads him to seriously consider her assessment as he would not for Desire. He eventually cedes to her wisdom in the matter.
Morpheus leaves his realm to travel to Hell, where he imprisoned his lover, Nada, some 10,000 years previously, His goal is to release her. Having left Lucifer Morningstar, lord of Hell, very angry with him the last time he ventured there (Preludes and Nocturnes) Morpheus is apprehensive about the task. He sets about it, wanting to do what is right, but prepared for a confrontation which he knows he may lose. Preparing for his possible death, he says goodbye to the dreams, meets and names Daniel Hall, and finally Hob Gadling in his dreams.
Cain is sent by Dream to inform Lucifer of Dream's impending arrival in Hell. Recognizing that Cain is protected by God's Mark, and cannot be destroyed, he proceeds to mock and torture Cain as they briefly travel through Hell.
Morpheus's apprehension is somewhat misplaced. As he arrives, Lucifer is busy closing down Hell. Morpheus follows Lucifer around in a state of some bafflement before Lucifer finally persuades him this is not an elaborate trick, that he indeed intends to leave Hell, and his obligations, as its lord, forever. His final act before leaving is to eject any demon or damned souls still lingering, lock all the portals to Hell, and cut off his wings; he then hands the key to Hell to Morpheus, to do with as he will. Such action is noted by Lucifer as having the potential to benefit or ruin Morpheus.
Morpheus, who has no wish to rule this troublesome piece of real estate, quickly discovers that there are numerous entities who want to control Hell, or prevent their enemies from controlling it. Odin wishes to control Hell in order to avoid Ragnarok, and travels to the Dreaming with two other members of the Norse pantheon, Loki and Thor.
Anubis, Bast and Bes from the ancient Egyptian pantheon wish to trade information in exchange for the key to Hell.
