The Confession of Imperfection is an informal name given to a document found in 74 Cloud in the city of Hanessin in the western Velestrin, on the coast near the southern terminus of the trade route through Tavath's Gap. Its apparent author was a jeweler named Tavass, a pioneer in faceting techniques, and is in the form of an open letter.

It purports to describe - or, by the author's own admission, imperfectly attempt to describe - a brief but exceptionally vivid dream sequence in which Tavass found himself transported to the heart of Seluurin's Palace and found himself facing the Fateweaver Herself.
