* The Mirror of Return (Beta Version 1) *
A fan mission by PsymH (M.H.)
--- Important Notes! ---
DarkLoader version 4.2 or higher is required. Otherwise, this text may be displayed in the wrong language and most music files may not play.
This FM has not been tested with GarrettLoader. Therefore, no guarantee!
This mission uses and contains the custom scripts of Telliamed (PublicScripts V2.1, tnhScript V2.1).
Although this mission directly follows Ultima Ratio, it continues the events in a new storyline. It is not necessary to play the previous mission beforehand.
Many things that can be read contain hints to puzzle elements of the FM. If you get stuck, try to remember what you have already read.
--- Description ---
"Well, how some things can change. My pursuers believed they had me in their grasp, but I proved them wrong. It's a pity for Orin - he was essentially innocent. At least Nestor got what he deserved. And his records were very revealing.
Although his papers still remain silent about the location of the Element of Three Powers, I now know why he showed such keen interest in me. In the end, it was all about making contact with a certain Larius. And who better to act as a mediator than someone who turned his back on the Keepers a long time ago? Nestor must have somehow heard that Larius is an expert in ancient relics - especially those with great magical potential.
What Nestor didn't know was that Larius is rarely found in the city's Keeper compound. Artemus told me that he travels a lot. Well, someone has to chase the rumors. His last destination was in the southern regions. No idea what he's looking for there. It's possible that it's related to a very old fortress built on a strong magical source.
As with many things, I cannot be sure if Larius is still there. But I have no other source. As the Hammerites always preach: Never question the words of the Builder...
And as for Duncan: I've never seen him. Hopefully, that won't change."

If you carry the torch and pick up a body, the body also becomes a torch. Unfortunately, I couldn't fix this.
Using the Eye of Revelation in very tight spaces or close to the wall may cause temporary display issues.
The shadows cast by the palms do not affect the visibility gem and cannot serve as a hiding spot.
