The Mirror of Truth is a magical item. Like the Book of Truth in Britannia, the Mirror is the embodiment of the Principle of Truth on the Serpent Isle. It appears in Ultima VII Part Two.

Description[edit]

Only very little is known about the history of this clearly magical item. The Mirror somehow came into possession of Gustacio of Moonshade, one of the few honest mages in this city of dishonesty, who in return gave it to the Avatar after the hero successfully concluded the experiments connected to the lightning colors and returned Edrin to his true form. The Mirror of Truth was needed along with the Crystal Rose of Love and Helm of Courage in order to defeat Rabindrinath in the Dream World surrounding Gorlab Swamp. The mirror deflected his final spell back onto him, causing his essence to be destroyed forever. It became useless once the madman was defeated.

Lore[edit]

Dost thou have the reflection of Truth to make thy dreams real? Canst thou mirror the ride of the spiraling serpent of death down to the peak of moonlit dreams?
