Paradoxically, this has lead to aldamdin being sometimes used as the face of a ‘mirror’. The result is obviously completely useless as an actual mirror, as no reflection will be shown, but this symbolic object is thought by some to be a curse upon the one to which it is given, shutting them off from their proper fate and leaving them to wander life with no true purpose or destiny. Others have claimed the symbol of an aldamdin mirror as a declaration of freedom, a rejection of the notion of fixed fate, and a display of their independent nature.

Pure white and incapable of being discolored, aldamdin is a metal remarkable for its uniquely improbable quality of not reflecting any image upon its surface, even when smoothly polished to a high gloss.

Paradoxically, this has lead to aldamdin being sometimes used as the face of a ‘mirror’. The result is obviously completely useless as an actual mirror, as no reflection will be shown, but this symbolic object is thought by some to be a curse upon the one to which it is given, shutting them off from their proper fate and leaving them to wander life with no true purpose or destiny. Others have claimed the symbol of an aldamdin mirror as a declaration of freedom, a rejection of the notion of fixed fate, and a display of their independent nature.

Aldamdin means ‘no fate’ in Gamgweth.
