The Mirror landmark was a placid reflecting pool that served as the focal point for the largest peice of mass to have fallen from Ethian, the entire island of Polyargos. During Ethian's Crossing the reflective surface of the lake would determine where the energies of the island would be directed. Black and white lilies found around the island could be placed upon the surface of the lake, and the majority colour would determine the atunement. Black lilies dominating the lake would turn it into the Devil Mirror and the island would generate Essence, while white lilies would shift it to the Radiant Mirror and to Devotion generation.

The failed ritual of the Conclave was held at the Mirror Landmark, attempting to tap into the power underlying the landmarks. When the wizards conducting the experiment were slain, the resultant backlash corrupted all the landmarks via this tie. Reflected images of adventurers poured forth from the Mirror, and the event became known as the Reflection Incident. Only through the combined efforts of the Conclave and Adventurers from around the realm were they able to stem the tide of reflections and force the remaining landmarks into dormancy. Years later the ritual would be attempted again and the landmarks would be destroyed to birth the Goddess Makali.
