Editing Narcissus (section)

====The Obsidian Foundries====

The district of Narcissus known as the Obsidian Foundries is one of the oldest surviving, dating back to before all the [[Cities_of_glass_history|Shatterings]], almost back to the Founding itself. These were the places where the earliest attempts to exploit the [[Spirit_world|Other Side]] were made – through blocks and sheets of smooth obsidian. The imperfections in these reflections forced the development of glass mirrors for reflective magic. They also led to the spawning of the first mirror-wraiths. As the art of mirror-fishing moved on to newer tools, the art of mirror-casting to deliberately spawn mirror-wraiths began to develop.
