Mirror of Sorrow

The Mirror of Sorrow is in her fourth aspect, having already displayed mastery over beauty, betrayal, and joy. In her current aspect, she creates trials and tribulations for those who gain her attention in order to provide an understanding of all facets of sorrow. In the djinn way of thinking, only by fully understanding something can you call yourself its master and decide whether or not it is part of your being. While vestiges of her other facets sometimes show, they are but glimmers in the current darkness of her soul. Her current House of the Tempest is contained within a storm cloud, and often reforms at a whim.

House of the Tempest

The House of the Tempest is crafted out of an ever-changing storm cloud. Her House of the Tempest crackles with lightning and often creates torrential downpours at a moment’s notice. Hounds comprised entirely of lightning roam the halls, keeping guard over her domain. Deep within the House of the Tempest is the Hall of Vases, the room where she spends most of her time. There are four human-sized vases within the hall, and gilded mirrors lining the walls. As needed, she will open the vases and change herself into facets of her former self.
