In the opulent halls of Castonia, Lord Gailithe unveils a sacred mirror meant to glorify his reign and beloved public image. Instead of the commanding ruler he expects, the glass shows a decaying, monstrous reflection—a grotesque vision of his own cruelty and corruption. While the court still sees a tall, powerful leader, Gailithe is forced to confront the literal rot of his soul as his world begins to fracture. As the mirror’s truth shatters his composure, the oppressed masses of Agon finally see their tyrant for what he is—and rise to challenge his iron‑fisted rule.
