==Description==
It is speculated by the [[Primarch]] to be a realm that is adjacent to the [[Warp]]{{Fn|1j}}, which was perhaps conjured from [[El'Jonson]]'s youthful memories, as he slumbered for millennia{{Fn|2}}. The forest also never seems to end, no matter how far someone travels{{Fn|1e}}, and is home to the [[Watchers in the Dark]]{{Fn|1a}} and the [[Great Beasts of Caliban|Great Beasts]] that the [[Primarch]] once hunted{{Fn|1e}}. The only other inhabitant in Mirror-Caliban, is an old wounded king who slowly bleeds from his injuries and is always stalked by hungering shadows. Though he wishes to, the king can not talk and simply stares in into space or directly at those he sees. According to a Watcher in the Dark, however, the king is capable of answering questions, should the right one be asked of him. He can either be found fishing on a boat in a river{{Fn|1a}} or sitting within a castle that is located nearby{{Fn|1j}}. Wherever the king is, though, hungering shadows always reside close to him{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1h}}. They can be a threat to anyone who gains the shadows' attention, but they will never wander far from the old king's side.{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
For reasons unknown, [[El'Jonson]] awoke in Mirror-Caliban in [[M42]] without his memories, after millennia of sleeping since the original [[Destruction of Caliban|Caliban's destruction]]. After encountering the old king on the river, whose waters played a song that he could hear, El'Jonson was approached by a [[Watcher in the Dark]] and he asked it where they were. The diminutive figure would simply reply '''Home''', before informing the Primarch of the king's condition and to beware of the shadows that dwell near him. El'Jonson then moved on and discovered a domed building, but once more the Watcher appeared and warned the Primarch against entering it, stating he was not yet strong enough to safely do so. When an annoyed El'Jonson asked what he should be doing instead to make sense of where he was, the Watcher told the Primarch to follow his nature. This led El'Jonson to follow a stench of corruption until the trees of Mirrior-Caliban{{Fn|1a}}, were replaced by those of the ruined world [[Camarth]]{{Fn|1b}}. It was there, that the Primarch encountered the [[Fallen Angel]] [[Zabriel]], which caused El'Jonson's memories to return to him.{{Fn|1c}}
