Soul Mirror is a powerful soulsteel grand daiklave created by the [[Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears]]. It is detailed in ''Savant & Sorcerer'' (ISBN 1-58846-675-2), according to which the sword was carried centuries ago by the Lover's champion, a powerful nemissary, until he "fell to two incomparable Dragon-Blooded martial artists, and the sword was lost. Both Terrestrial warriors paid dearly for their actions, but they did succeed in hiding Soul Mirror away from the furious deathlord."

Even the names of the terrestrials have been erased from memory, though scatter references to them remain. Based on research into these references, [[Sundial]] believes the sword was hidden in Rathess, and has entreated the circle to find it. According to Sundial (though how they discovered this is unknown) the terrestrials feared that, should they die, their ghosts might reach the Lover and be interrogated as to the location of the sword. Fearing this, they magically removed critical memories of the sword's concealment and embedded them into gemstones, using a variation of the Theft of Memory spell. When they hid the sword, they somehow did so in such a way that each one was solely responsible for one aspect of the concealment, so that individually they did not know how to retrieve the sword.

== Memory Gems ==

The gemstones containing the memories were scattered by the terrestrials just prior to the Lover's vengeance. Sundial has determined that the gems were both sapphires, containing five points of light glowing from within. They have spent a good deal of effort tracking down the whereabouts of gems that match this description. So far, they've uncovered four leads:

They eventually [[Forgotten Suns: Log - The Lap|stole this necklace]], but are not sure if it actually contains memories.

== Terrestrials & the Nemissary ==
