Mirror of True Sight

Mirror of True Sight is a unique relic in Landorya. Its known origin is The Mirror of True Sight was crafted during the Age of Veiled Wars by the Sphinx Orathindel of the Sun-Scarred Peaks, who ground the glass from her own crystallized tears shed over a century of riddle-grief, for she had been deceived by a Fey lord of the Eternal Twilight Court and sworn never to be deceived again. The frame was forged by the Dwarven master-smith Volundrak Ashvein of the Iron Mountains, who bound the mirror's power with star-iron and runes drawn from the Order of the Starlight's celestial codices, ensuring no glamour woven under sun, moon, or aetheric sky could endure its gaze.. Its most cited abilities include Dispels all illusions, glamours, and shapeshifting enchantments cast upon any creature or object reflected in its surface, revealing the true form beneath., Exposes hidden or invisible objects, passages, and entities within a chamber, including Fey veils, Naga venom-wards, and Drakonian shadow-cloaks., and Reveals the innermost nature and deepest intent of any person who gazes into it, laying bare loyalties, lies, and corruptions as shifting dark stains across the reflection..

It passed through the hands of a Mystaran scholar-thief, a Dwarven relic-broker, and a Halfling antiquarian before disappearing into the lower vaults of the Iron Mountain fortress of Drak Hollund during a Drakonian raid. It is rumoured to remain there still, buried beneath a collapsed gallery, its silver-violet glow occasionally glimpsed by Dwarven miners who refuse to approach.
