Mirrormoor was the realm of the Daedric Prince Ithelia, Mistress of the Untraveled Road.[2][3] Fargrave is a fragment of this forgotten realm.
Mirromoor is a large desert wasteland filled with gargantuan skeletons and surrounded by an auroral sky. While Ithelia is active, it is filled by shattered mirrors and crystalline structures and the sky is fractured by cracks.[4] Those elements were not present in Fargrave before Ithelia's return.[5]
Shardborn and aspects of Ithelia inhabit the realm.[2] Shardborn mages are known to wear dresses adorned with ornate sparkling crystals.[6]
History[edit]
Mirrormoor was forgotten by mortals and Daedra alike when Ithelia was imprisoned by Hermaeus Mora. A part of this plane was later rediscovered and was renamed Fargrave, its inhabitant unaware of the origin of the plane they live on.[7] Sotha Sil referred to Fargrave as "a shattered ruin of reflection and sorrow".[8]
In their pursuit of ever more esoteric materials with which to customize or craft Dwarven Spider constructs, the Second Era artisan known as the Spidersmith stumbled upon a realmic thread originating from Mirrormoor. The Spidersmith used shards of mirror from the realm to summon and bind Glass Atronachs in the shape of a Dwarven Spider vamidium for use as mounts.[1]
Circa 2E 582, Daedric incursions from Mirrormoor spread throughout the West Weald.[9]. After she retrieved her powers, Ithelia tried to restore Mirormoor and activate the Loom of the Untraveled Road an artifact hidden in Fargrave that can break the shackles of fate and rewrite history. But the Vestige destroyed the Loom before she was able to use it.[7]
After Ithelia was exiled to a different reality, Mirrormoor and its denizens remained known, but Ithelia was erased from everyone's memory once more By Hermaeus Mora, her plane of Mirrormoor remaining as a shattered ruin, whose inhabitants are masterless. [10] Despite her banishment, the power of Ithelia and Mirrormoor continued to emanate across the threads of fate, marking some with its forbidden knowledge and leaving some among those who visited the realm changed. It is said that those touched in this manner could not recall who or what had changed them, retaining only dim memories of the event, like shards of glass scattered on the ground.[11][12]
