Lore:Mirror of Truth
"The cracks in this ornate mirror remind many of something they can't quite recollect. And you dare not tell them."[1]
The Mirror of Truth was an artifact associated with the Daedric Prince Ithelia, it was said that those who looked upon it would reflect upon their innermost desires and self.
It was created by the Vestige, the Watchling fate-auditor Scruut, and Leramil the Wise, using a shard from a Primordial Shattered Titan, a powerful Shattered Shard that was one of Ithelia's first creations, as the focus. The forging of the Mirror was achieved through a ritual that utilized Boethiah's blade Abolisher, Azura's Lamp of Clarity, and Mephala's Skein of Secrets.
The Mirror was used by the Vestige on Ithelia herself, during her invasion of Apocrypha, allowing her to recall her forgotten realization that her course would doom reality as Hermaeus Mora foresaw, and granting her the moment of clarity she needed to decide to abandon her plan, which would've resulted in the unraveling of reality through the catastrophic damage it was causing to Fate.[2][3][4][5][6] It was crafted with a shard of Ithelia's essence.[7]
