![]() ![]() ![]() Avner of Hartsvale (briefly a Chosen of Kelemvor, during the Time of Troubles).This included Selûne, whose light tended to reveal his own faithful whilst they worked. All guardians of light, knowledge, and duty were opposed to him. Mask was also at direct odds with Waukeen, the goddess of merchants and honest trade. If nothing else, their sizable hatred of Cyric gave them common ground in addition to their history of working together. However, before this, he had frequent alliances with Bane. Simply put, Mask was a loner and unlike other deities he enjoyed his own company greatly. ![]() Visitors might glimpse the Keep, but very few ever reached it, as it was constantly shrouded in a heavy fog that led them astray. Mask kept a divine realm called Shadow Keep on Niflheim, the second layer of Hades in the Great Wheel cosmology and the Plane of Shadow in the World Tree cosmology. The Shadowlord wielded a pair of magical, twin longswords known as Stealthwhisper and Shadowblade. He used this mimicry to purr falsehoods into mortals' ears or talk with voices of recently dead to create an illusion of them still being in the land of the living. Mask enjoyed eavesdropping, and he could whisper in perfect imitation of a voice he had recently heard. He was a manipulator and valued subtle schemes, so artful and light that no one noticed the god's touch. This, of course, led to two things: an enduring hatred of Cyric, and the Lord of Shadows leading himself to be more direct than he was in his prior, elaborate plots. Known for his constant scheming, cool head, and oft-reserved biting comment, Mask lost a significant portion of his power, the intrigue portfolio, to Cyric. In this form of a piece of harmless-looking cloth, Mask could move about without detection. Some of the masks he shapeshifted into were patches of gauze cut in rectangle shape and lacking eye-holes. One of Mask's abilities was taking on a shape of any humanoids or any mask. No matter his form however, his movements made no sound and left no trail. In public however, Mask's form was entirely inconsistent, appearing as members of all races, genders, ages, builds, and capabilities. This form always walked barefoot and was constantly shrouded in a shadow-like gloom. He might also manifest as a soft-spoken human female with pale, glowing skin, dark, floor-length hair, and starry white lights for eyes. Avatars of Mask within his temples usually appeared as slightly built human males wearing soft gray leather armor, a black cloak, and a black mask tinged with red (believed by scholars to be his true or chosen form). ![]()
