The Ice Mirror

"Throw everyone who comes through the Portal of Nayaena into the asylum lest we have mad ones roaming the street. The Soul Ring is mad enough."
— Guildmaster Dagil Dorrager of Ilyena's Guard

The Ice Mirror is an expansive sheet of permanently formed ice with a nearly perfect reflective property. So magnificent is the dream-like sight that the Ice Mirror has been dubbed the 'heavens on our earth'. The stunning beauty of the place masks its true nature- a place of madness. Though made up almost entirely of ice, visitors claim the ground feels warm under their feet. Spending any significant amount of time on the Ice Mirror is known to cause headaches and hallucinations, cause feelings of being watched, paranoia, or other deranged behaviors. Groups of insane people, referred to as The Mad Ones of Nayaena, wander around the sheet.
