Forest Mine

The **Forest Mine** is an unseen location within the Mirrorverse, and the home of Snow White and the Evil Queen.

## Description

The Forest Mine is a beautiful kingdom surrounded by dense woodland. The forest is filled with friendly animals and magical creatures, such as the dwarves who work in a mine filled with precious gems. When infected by Fractured Poison, the forest becomes difficult to navigate, filled with cracks and dangerous vines and pits, and the locations are able to shift.

The Kingdom was once ruled by a kind and generous Queen and King, who had a young daughter, Snow White. After the death of the queen, the King remarried and then died, leaving his domain in the care of the Evil Queen, who abused and relegated Snow White to servant in her own home. Upon Snow White's teenage years, when she was declared fairier than the Queen; in a fit of jealousy, the Queen ordered her to be killed. Instead, her Huntsman released the princess, who fled into the woods and came upon the dwarves's cottage, who agreed to let her stay.

As the Queen prepared a poison to kill Snow White, the Fractured Mirror entered the world and shook up its foundations, spreading the poison through both the Queen and the world itself. After several Guardians assisted in repairing the world, the Queen was left scarred and fascinated with the burning heart of Hades. More importantly, the arrival of magic also changed Snow White, infusing her with light Stellar Magic and turning her into a Melee guardian of the forest, able to communicate with and control the animals and plants of the woods and fighting as their protector.

### The Prince's Kingdom

On the opposite side of the dwarves's mine lays Snow White's Prince's kingdom, with its castle appearing from a distance to lay in the clouds. The kingdom layout is described as well-kept and gorgeous, and the people are described as being very used to coming across "magical creatures and people," including those who look and act very different from humans, but they judge the ones they meet by hearts and not forms.

The royal family is very concerned about the welfare of its citizens; upon the Fractured influence entering the land, they held a ball in hopes of cheering them. In turn, the people adore their monarchs. It is mentioned that there are several acrobats (with camels) and actors who are hired for public events.

The castle throne room is right past the gatehouse, with glowing white marble threaded with pink and gold, representing the afternoon sun. The stained glass windows are decorated with velvet curtains with bejeweled tassels that sweep the floor; one of the windows is of its current Prince. The palace also has twisting staircases, and long stone halls decorated with carpets and tapestries. The bathing room is described as having "perfectly" painted tiles and colorful hanging laps with four copper bathtubs; there is also a nearby room full of ballgowns in armoires. The ballroom has a burgundy curtain and grand door atop the red-carpeted stairs that hides honored guests until they are announced, an orchestra on a balcony, and a large buffet table. Just off the ballroom is a stone balcony overlooking the garden, with a staircase leading down into it.

The garden is full of trees and many flowers, including gardenias, jasmine vines, peonies, roses, and wisteria; in addition, there is a large vegetable patch. There is a large splashing fountain of cool water, and several stone paths winding through the plants. Several animals and insects are noted to frequent the area, including nightengales and deer, as the garden leads into the nearby forest. Snow White says that the garden is filled with love, with rich soil.
