A '''chaos mirror shard''' is a new item found in February 2026's [[Duskruin]] Arena Battle Vault and was created by GM Wyrom.'''


The shard of chaotic urnon is a 1x/week summoning tool that lets you face a like-leveled demon based on your profession and race. Each run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin Arena]] (aka twice a year), you can add an additional use per week, with a max of 10x/week. This item will be available in the vaults for the next 5 years. There may be other opportunities to gain additional usages after their debut, such as the feeders, auctions, and special releases. They will also get more flavorful the more you unlock them.

You can also set the shard to another person and face a version of them. They must be online for this to work. It won't be a 1:1 match or anything like that, but it will take their likeness (profession or race). You will see who it is, but no one else. I will post a usage in this [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1469779332326101024 thread] under this post once I do some retroactive fixes to get this out and update the [[SimuCoin store|SimuCoin Store]] with the new build. Shouldn't be much longer. I will edit this part out once live to reduce confusion.

Don't want it? BREAK it for a [[Roleplaying award|violet orb]] that is character attuned. Once the shards have been combined with additional shards (so after this run), you won't be able to break the combined one, but you can always break a new one.

=== Frequently Asked Questions ===
For centuries, we believed the doors were enough. The seals beneath Caligos Isle, the graveyard mists of Naidem, and the blood-soaked sand of Bloodriven Village held firm. The Arena of the Abyss was meant to be a forgotten tomb for the demonic host, a realm of eternal carnage, locked away from the sunlight of Elanthia. Other doors exist, but their locations remain a mystery...for now.

But we forgot one thing: demons do not handle exile quietly.

Deep within the Abyss, a vathor, a creature of shadow and ancient malice, found a relic from a forgotten age: a mirror of pure urnon, stretching hundreds of feet into the darkness. This urnon, the chaotic metal, does more than reflect light; it captures the essence of the soul. For eons, the vathor gazed upon that silver expanse, watching the ghosts of Elanthia pass by on the other side of the veil. In a fit of transcendent rage (or perhaps calculated genius), the demon struck. The urnon mirror did not merely crack; it shattered with a psychic scream that vibrated through the very foundations of the world.

The force of the blow propelled shards of the mirror through the thinning seals of the doors. These fragments, now scattered across the known realms, act as miniature windows back into the Abyss. When a mortal gazes into a shard, they do not see their own visage but a version of themselves that was dragged into the Abyss eons ago. They see skin hardened by hellfire, eyes clouded by centuries of screams, and a spirit hollowed out by the relentless hunger of the plane.

They see the Fiend of the Reflection.

=== Clarifications ===
Not to give away the whole bit, but the idea is kind of a new moonshard pendant, without the need to find 70% common, 20% uncommon, 9% rare, and 1% epic drops to construct and limit it to RNG to find the pendant in the arena. Now, everyone gets one. The first drop is to begin the lore and story, plus to put a place in game to summarize what has happened over the years at Duskruin and EG (Arena of the Abyss). Each use will keep on giving you more summons, but it will get a bit more involved on what it does and what you'll be able to do with it. There are several demon doors across the game. Those who went on the debut of the Arena of the Abyss at Caligos (and were part of the gondola disaster in Prime), might know EXACTLY where this might be going.

You won't need to get all the way to 10x/week to get a lot of the flavor. And there may be limited ways to get more pieces if you decided to BREAK it this year. It won't be unlimited availability, but I believe I mentioned it here or in another thread. Special releases, feeders, etc.

This doesn't have anything to do with the Demonwall though. The Arena of the Abyss is a whole area. You can check out the room at Duskruin for a small bit of flavor. There is also a story in the cavern leading to it.

Latest revision as of 08:37, 10 February 2026

A chaos mirror shard is a new item found in February 2026's Duskruin Arena Battle Vault and was created by GM Wyrom.

The shard of chaotic urnon is a 1x/week summoning tool that lets you face a like-leveled demon based on your character's profession and race. During each run of Duskruin (aka twice a year), you can add an additional use per week, up to a maximum of 10x/week. This item will be available in the Battle Vaults for the next 5 years following its release. There may be other opportunities to gain additional usages after their debut, such as the feeders, auctions, and special releases. They will also get more flavorful the more you unlock them.

In addition to setting the shard to summon a parallel version of your character, you can also set the shard to another person and face a version of them. They must be online for this to work. It will take their likeness (profession or race) into account. You will see who it is, but no one else. You cannot direct it at a GameMaster.

Don't want it? BREAK it for a violet orb that is character attuned. Once the shards have been combined with additional shards (so after the February 2026 run), you won't be able to break the combined one, but you can always break a new one.

Analyze

You analyze the chaotic urnon and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a special item from that can summon a demon to your location.  It will be a like-level foe that uses the profession and race to set up its difficulty.  It cannot be used in areas that creatures shouldn't be in.

The urnon has the following verbs:

  GAZE                 - Check status of the urnon.
                         This also refreshes the weekly cycle.
  INVITE               - Summon the demonic fiend from the other plane!
  POINT                - Set the demonic field to someone else.
                         You must POINT urnon AT Firstperson to set it back to yourself.
                         The person must be online in order for it to work.
                         If they aren't, it will default back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Taken from the pinned FAQs in the discord forum.

Question: If I already bought my vault, do I need to buy a new one?
No, the item in the vault that released on February 6, 2026 was a placeholder for the shard. Once all updates are done, it will auto convert for you.
Question: Each run of Duskruin, you can add an additional use per week, with a max of 10x/week. Is this done by combining shards from different DR run's vaults?
Yes.
Question: More importantly, can we summon one and then run away? Join up with other players to create an invading army of demons?
It uses the chase mechanics and is only harmful to the summoner.
Question: Surprised no one asked yet but, is there any extra reward or benefit for killing the inverted, so I assume good, version of myself?
This is for fun. For now.
Question: So am I reading this right that the urnon will be the vault item for the next 9 runs? Or will it be shards for the next 9 runs AND a different vault item?
Yes. The goal for the vaults will be the same for each event, 1 item with future unlocks for 3 to 5 years.
Question: So many questions! Does it just spawn a public demon? Can others battle it? Can we increase the difficulty on it?
The main reflection you summon is not a demonic creature profile. But there is a rare event that will bring out something else.
Question: Is there drops or anything from the 1x a week summons?
The flavor will be in future updates when it hits certain thresholds.
Question: Can you summon the demon inside the arena/in the gauntlet/inside a bungalow/in a shell?
Normal creature spawning mechanics are required. So sanctuaries and such won't work. The area has to allow magic and locate too, which might not be obvious to everyone.
Question: Will your self-foe summon with your current spells / buffs applied?
No, it just does its best to make a creature based on your profession. Something I can maybe figure out in a future update.
