Alignment: Arbiter, Sorcerer
Start with: Ancient Mirror (Artifact)

You possess a small, cracked, cloudy mirror in a dinky polymeric frame. The mirror reforms if broken and can’t be lost. Even if you leave the mirror behind, it soon reappears amidst your belongings. You have come to understand this small mirror is a part of a being—the Ancient Mirror—who dwells above the heavens. When you look into your small mirror and ask it questions, the larger Mirror above responds with moving images of astounding clarity and insight. The Mirror does not identify itself as a god, but rather as a powerful entity or entities from the time of the Shattered Planet who survived the apocalypse by remaining “between the lost moons.” The Mirror’s presence is occluded by the cyclone of Tel-Kanan, by the magic-laced civilization of Mazr, and by the depths of old Shinar. However, some of those who’ve dwelled in the chaos beyond—Zordin and Wanderers—can learn how to sense the Mirror, if they’re willing to see. The being imparts to you an instinctive understanding of light and forces, which unlocks the Sorcerer calling.
