The legend in Daventry is that the mirror was first found in a cave beneath the earth, next to the crystal coffin of a great necromancer who was thought to be Merlin himself. Since it was obtained by Daventry, no evil would harm the kingdom since it had the power to foresee the future and events occuring in faraway places, so the King always knew what to expect and was always prepared.

| - It was once in possession of Merlin, who used its property of showing the truth, whether of past, present or future. The legend in Daventry is that the mirror was first found in a cave beneath the earth, next to the crystal coffin of a great necromancer who was thought to be Merlin himself. Since it was obtained by Daventry, no evil would harm the kingdom since it had the power to foresee the future and events occuring in faraway places, so the King always knew what to expect and was always prepared. It had served the Kings and Queens of Daventry for over 200-400 years. Unfortunately, the mirror was stolen from King Edward and Queen Maylie by a sorcerer, and the thief hid it in in a cave guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. The sorcerer had approached the couple and had asked for the mirror in payment to help them have kids. However, it was a sham, and the sorcerer got away. King Edward had spent years trying to recover the mirror. Countless people had searched for it both in Daventry and elsewhere. Years, later Edward sent Graham to hunt for the mirror along with the other great treasures of Daventry. Graham was able to reach the dragon by climbing down a well and dousing the dragon's flame. The magic mirror was the first of the three treasures he recovered. The mirror continued to help Graham and his family, whenever King Graham looked into his magic mirror, he saw visions of adventures yet to come...for him, for his children, and for Daventry, the land he loved so much. Through it Graham saw the spirit of King Edward council him. Graham used the mirror while he was searching for a wife; it was within its mahogany frame that he first saw the image of Valanice, imprisoned in a the Crystal Tower. Alexander also used it to find his true love, Cassima. Genesta also used it to communicate with Rosella. On the night Alexander was kidnapped, for some bearer of black magic (likely Manannan) had cast a cloud of darkness upon its face... It could provide no answers, not even a clue in finding the lost prince or stopping the Three-headed Dragon that was ravaging the land. Telgrin put a curse on the magic mirror clouding it during his invasion of Daventry from the Floating Castle. Graham and a Daventry Official saw the oncoming of the cataclysm through the mirror. Connor was able to communicate with Lucreto through the mirror, but it seemed to be largely blackened with swirling dark fog and smoke. Later Graham and the official saw the Kingdom restored through the mirror when they got their forms back.
