The Coveted Mirror: Vile Upstart

(Continued from my previous post.) I’ve got most of the map laid out, and things are open enough that I’m not really “stuck” but I wanted to report in anyway. Story from the later version of The Coveted Mirror, via the Museum of Computer Adventure Game History. To clear one thing up right away, regarding the mirror pieces: you don’t pick up the ones you find. You instead just see them and remember their shape, and trying to pick one up mentions a “protection spell” (I’ve only found one of them so far, but it clearly is consistent across the game). This at least partly explains the setup: Voar doesn’t need to be near the mirror shards to use them, isn’t worried about sabotage, and probably doesn’t even know seeing what they look like would be necessary information to find the fifth missing shard (given he hasn’t been able to locate it). I also think the original wizard is still alive, despite the original manual indicating he wasn’t. There’s also reference to a Queen so maybe that’s…
