2025 May 1: All Tomorrows

 All Tomorrows is a magical silver mirror, part of a set containing the now lost All Yesterdays, and the destroyed All Todays. As the name implies, those who look into the mirror can see a possible future. Unfortunately the mirror doesn't tell how likely any given future is, or what needs to be done to achieve or avoid the result shown. People who make heavy use of it usually fall into a sort of monomania, trying to determine the most probable set of future events by trying to view as many as possible. Unfortunately the number of possible futures seems infinite, or at least great enough that one cannot even view a fraction of them in the time it takes for the event in question to take place. So while All Todays was considered a giant security risk by many Sorcerer-Kings, All Tomorrows is mostly regarded as a self-solving problem at best, and a trap for the foolish at worst.

All Tomorrows is a human-sized standing mirror, decorated with laughing demons around its rim. It is made entirely out of polished silver. It was made by the legendary, if quite mad sorcerer Ei-Karkath of Lower Namb. It is currently housed in the royal treasury of Satnak, covered by a piece of fabric.
