This is a great question, because the answer isn't literal, but metaphorical, and one of the best lines in the story.
He said that the mirror he found her in might have been "made of (from?) the pure sand of dreams"

I'm sure one of us is right. Now let's see who... Ralphie?

An interesting contrast in answers, IS. The literal ingredients answer versus the literal quotation from Geraden.
When it comes to which of us is right, I'm betting on YOU all the way, Sanity!



(That's partly because you have a proven strong memory for the Mordant's Need story, and partly because Ralphie DID frame his question around something Geraden said.)
What say you, Ralphie? Isn't IrrationalSanity the clear winner, here?

"Maybe he's off still trying to glue the leg lamp back together?"
Again, I think you've got the answer right, IrrationalSanity! Geraden DID talk about creating the mirror that brought Terisa into his world being fthe pure sand of dreams".
If Ralphie doesn't weigh in by month's end and overrule me
, then consider it YOUR Mordant's Need Trivia question, IS!

Thanks, Cord Hurn!
The show must go on, as they say.
So, let's move from the end of the story to the beginning of Terisa's time in Mordant. The first meal she was served had an array of familiar and unfamiliar foods. However, one of the familiar ones, green beams, tasted like something else. What was it?

Great question, IS!
Did the green beans in Mordant taste like pumpkins?

No, it was not pumpkins. (Nor even close, really...)

Thank you very much, Sanity!
By the time Terisa is translated to Mordant, how long has it been that Queen Madin has separated from living with King Joyse?
