Category:Downward Spiral

Deep within the swamps and boglands of Wildwood, there sits a reflecting pool, mirror smooth and pristine. Nothing from the woods dares drink from its still waters. None approach it, a space twenty paces wide where birds do not sing, and animals dare not tread. It is a pool of despair, its reflection tainted by some unknown source, stealing away the hope and joy of any who gaze upon it. Who knows what lies beneath the mirror surface?

Navigation

Most of this area is just one long road, spiralling downwards (wow, go figure). With only one exception, the rooms have two exists. As for the exception, south leads further down, and the other directions take you back one room.

Adventuring

Be careful of this area's backbiting daggers, as they can bring quick death to lowmorts and even to lowheroes; using sneak and move hidden and invis can help protect oneself from these deadly mobs.
Near the end, a few rooms after the Sad Man, there's a shapeshifter, Mimic, so watch out. Right after that is a safe room with Requiem in there. He's involved in a few ticket quests.
