Mirror Mountain

Mirror of Mystery

On the very top of a mountain in Meinland sits a giant mirror. The story goes when people have walked through it, a number of mysterious things happen. Upon touch the face ripples and sets again. Some have walked right through only to find themselves on the other side of the mirror. Other have not been able to walk through at all and acted as some kind of barrier for them.
 
When a group of researchers tested the mirror's capabilities, one was appointed and dared walk through with a life line attached to him. Strangely, only the cord came back and their colleague was never seen again.

Geography

This mountain has a pasture and surrounding the giant mirror is a circular bed of water.  

Localized Phenomena

The area around the mirror has not been touched by weather or natural occurrences. It's as if there is a barrier around it, protecting it from anything that might come in its path. Perhaps the water around it has something to do with that? Over the years as the world naturally shifted, it sits on a kind of rocky pedestal. Surrounding it is lush green pastures. No one has been able to claim this land due to supernatural events.
 
Animals of all kinds seem to rest here without concern. Both predator and prey seem to relax and there is no sense of aggresion anywhere. Even people don't have a heart to kill on this sacred land.
 

Fauna & Flora

This mountain is teeming with life and beauty. Without a Mother Tree to be seen, researchers have pondered how this land is so prosperous. They soon found out that this place is sanctified by something. No abominations have been found on their many excursions in studying the area.
 

Natural Resources

There is a cave enterance in the lower part of the mountain. Here lay Miria's Treasures of all kinds from her artistic formations which are useful to kin-souls:
  • Cryatals
  • Minerals
  • Metals and precious metals

A wonderful mystery to explore. Some questions, as i usually leave on articles that I read:  

  • do those that walk through end up one the other side of the mirror (still in our world) or *inside* the Mirror, (someplace else)
  • Is the water (moat/lake/pond) entirely self contained or does it flow somewhere? Are there fish in it? Is it clear and drinkable or strangely murky, and how deep is it (if people know)?
  • Did the rope come back, or did it drop slack as if cut? Did the researchers see their colleague disappear or not? Do any animals pass into/through the mirror? And has anything ever come out?
  • -Is it always a true reflection in the mirror, or are things sometimes different... different weather, night instead of day, no animals present, or extra ones?   -And how large is the top of this mountain, how easy is it for animals and people to get there?   Just things i was wondering and potential directions for you to explore after the Awards ceremony rolls around. It was a fun read about a very cool sounding place. Good job.

    Feel free to stop by and read some of my strangely cold themed WorldEmber articles, like the mysterious Armored Forest, the wayward mage Jak of the Rime, or the deadly Trapper's Bane. For those that want to get away from the cold you could always ask Damien Dreamblossom if he has a recommendation for you...
