Kagami, the City of Mirrors

The brazen mirrors of the demon city deceive the eye. They show you a distorted likeness of yourself and of the demon city, altered in a thousand subtle ways. If you dare, you may step through such a mirror; thus does one enter Kagami, the echo of the demon realm. It is a twisted reflection of a twisted world, and in its hidden depths, space and time fold in upon themselves in a quicksilver labyrinth of memory and dream. Quendalon

  • Qucheil Utau, the Prolonged of Life, fetich soul of Kagami (Nero's Boot)
Many are the men and women who would kill their heart's love for the chance to live forever, and for these fools dwells Qucheil Utau, the Prolonged of Life. Hidden in dusty grimoires of spells and rites are the techniques for calling the demon prince of false immortality, and many are the fools who would use them. A dozen young doves must be slaughtered, and the rite performed at Calibration, for only then will Qucheil Utau deign to enter the mortal realm. When he comes, he comes as a frozen, mummified child, his eyes scourged away with flame, his limbs locked in place. Riding a beam of green sunlight, he comes and touches those who summon him on the forehead, and then they are as ash. Such is the fate of those who presume too much.
History repeats itself. This principle embodies itself in the demon prince Strephon, who acts to ensure that matters come about as they have before. It has many guises, including a ring of swords and a wheel of fire. It most often appears as an oppositely gendered duplicate of its summoner. It may cause any thing that has happened before to happen again; such is its power and its nature.

Comments

<roar> Damn you, Quendalon! I had an idea for a Yozi just like this and thought I was being clever. hmph. Well, not just like this. But too similar to make another one ... unless I do some sort of clever twin thing. Le sigh. I suffer.
