==Description=
===History===
The young and innocent seeking the Mirror’s Maw can be forgiven for missing it the first time they reach its chamber. For mortals, the amount of the Maw they can see and access is highly dependent on both the poorness of how poor their life choices in the wake have been and their self awarenesshow aware they are of said mistakes; the depth of the whirlpool seeming to take form as they fall deeper and deeper into a downward spiral. Those who’ve achieved or passed longhood immortality can see the Maw in its entirety, with layers inaccessible to them locked behind a screen of water, giving the Maw an appearance resembling that resembles a loop of reflected mirrors. <br>
Despite no formations land existing beneath the sea of mistsregrets, numerous ledges of slippery, jagged ivory line the steeper parts of its maw, though they grow growing less and less structurally sound as one descends. Salt crystals and icicles grow beneath these rocks, scattering the light of the cave further down.<br>
Those who reach through the rushing water once they pass its lips find themselves hooked to razor sharp barbs, which inflict pain and disfigurement onto one’s dream the dreamer's form. As one descends, these hooks grow longerand thicker, and inflict inflicting greater pains and longer lasting mutationsdeformations, up to the point eventually forever deforming your warping ones dream self to match the hideousness to some personally symbolic reflection of your their deeds. Desperate souls who’ve gone too deep will use these hooks to climb their way back out. Those who do so and are fully touched by the light, however, will find that these hooks can fully retract themselveswithout warning. The same is true for the narrow 'stairs' seemingly built into the Well’s side.<br>
Objects and representations of desires and impulses flow up from its mouth, effortlessly moving against the raging current. They are not to be taken.<br>
===Principles===FNORDWinter, for the constant certainty of its endings, as well as the peace of it promises for those who leap for them.<br>Lantern, for the self scrutiny it brings and the revealing of flaws.Edge, for the strangling ruin and dread it brings.<br>Grail, for the temptations addicting, decadent and wrathful that draw the restless to move deeper into its unwilling mouth. <br>
Though not of Forge, the Nizvestier Within does bring encourage change. Confidence is the that turns improvement away; the arrogance by which one remains ignorance to their own falts faults. In order to grow, it must be torn down. It will provide no additional strength or willpower help make this change, but will provide threats to motivate the inactive.
==Worship==
===Cult===
'''The Template Order of Acquittance''' is worshipped by some strange folks called an old and humble congregation. Judges and criminals renown stand indistinguishable in its choir, as sinners and saints preach redemption. There is no sin they cannot earn forgiveness for. There is no act of repentance they have not logged. <br>They are Lantern, to make failings known. <br>They are Knock, to bring wounding revelation.<br>They are Forge, to bring redemption. <br>They are Secret History, to remember the deeds. <br> '''The Reverie Keepers''' are an organization of anonymous revel managers. They work to feed the desires of the sinners unrepentant, while also keeping them from falling deeper. Its therapies can calm even the darkest of desires. Its services can convincingly emulate both the illegal and the immoral, though almost every act has a genuine version to offer, provided all are willing. Many have attempted to expose them. Not one has succeeded.<br>They are Heart, to endure the silence and maintain ones morals. <br>They are Lantern, to keep the reckless in line. <br>They are Moth, to keep the urges tamed and concealed. <br>They are Grail, to sate the desires forbidden.<br> '''The Collectors of the Foremost Debt''' are a loose collection of vigilantes, journalists, constables and detectives dedicated to the capturing and ruining of those who step too far. They hound the former clients of ''The Order of Acquittance'' who've fallen into their old ways and refuse to continue redemption. They trim the reckless of the ''The FansusReverie Keepers'' who begin to draw the public eye. They will pay any cost to see Judgment brought, even if that means falling to the lows of their target. <br>They are Knock, for they reveal all and refuse to be denied.<br>They are Lantern, to bring sins to the public eye. <br>They are Edge, for the are unconquerable and unstoppable. <br>They are Winter. for the ruinous end they bring is certain.<br>

Prior to the collision, these labyrinthine caverns were closed off to the house, and thus inaccessible to almost all. They weren’t always sealed, but few remain who remember the burial.
Following the collision, the cavern of the Mirror’s Maw breached. The maze can be entered through a cliffside hole where one Sea Of Regret meets the house. Its branching paths are uncountable and it’s icy halls disorient the senses. But if one looks hard enough, if one delves deep enough, they might find the Mirror’s Maw. ''Doing so without a good reason is '''This is highly inadvisable.'''.''
