Scientific Name: Ovis speculum (unconfirmed)
Common Name: Mirrowool Ewes
Classification: Mammalian Fauna — Exotic Realm Species
Description:
Mirrowool Ewes resemble domestic sheep native to downland regions but possess a luminous fleece that shimmers with an iridescent, mother-of-pearl quality. Their eyes reflect perfectly, acting like living mirrors that reveal not only the observer’s image but sometimes distorted reflections of their hidden regrets or failures.
Known Effects on Humans:
Observers report a profound sense of introspection and unease when meeting the gaze of Mirrowool Ewes.
Looking directly into their eyes can induce visions of one’s past mistakes, causing guilt or a compulsion to confess.
The wool is highly prized in the Pale Court for weaving mourning veils and garments used in silent ceremonies.
Prolonged exposure may cause emotional exhaustion or a deepening of silent grief.
Behavioral Notes:
Mirrowool Ewes tend to graze in small, tightly-knit flocks, often along the sunlit ridges of the Pale Country’s glass plains.
They are almost constantly watched by the Crownless Mirrorbearer and sometimes used as messengers or omens within court rituals.
The ewes bleat only on rare occasions, and when they do, the sound is said to shatter oaths or silence spoken words nearby.
Warnings / Dangers:
Direct eye contact should be avoided unless prepared for an intense emotional or psychic experience.
Handling their fleece without proper ritual respect can lead to haunting visions or mental disarray.
Killing or harming a Mirrowool Ewe is considered a grievous offense, punishable by the Pale Court’s strictest sanctions.
Travelers are advised to avoid lone ewes, as they are often considered scouts or harbingers of fate.
