Description: He appears as a handsom youth dressed in a colorful jerkin and breeches, wearing
		a grey cloak.

		Mask is the lord of shadows and those actons which take place in those shadows;
		he is the patron of the thief and cutpurse, the sneak, the spy, and the alleyway
		mugger. He wears a cloak that allows him to fly, become invisible, and when the
		hood is placed up, appear as any other being in an impervious illusion. The
		worshippers of Mask tend to hold their services in dimly lit vaults, and the
		worshippers and priests all wear heavy garb and masks.


Clerical Information:

	Clericy Name:	Demarchs, or Demarchesses

	Main Temple Location: Haldrin

	Clericy Description: The adventuring priest of Mask usually dresses as a thief (that
		is, like almost anyone who might be met on the street). Ceremonial garb is
		much more impressive. The tunic and trousers are a bright motlely, with
		ballooned sleeves and cuffs. The entire ensemble is covered by a gray cloak
		that can be bundled shut, cancealing the brightness beneath. The cloak has a
		hood and the priests of Mask wear black cloth masks beneath.

		In areas where thieves are tolerated and worship of Mask is fairly open, these
		masks are of a sheer fabric, while in most of the North they are a thick wool
		to hide identities. There is a saying that, "the degree of law in a town can
		be seen on the face of a priest of Mask."

		The priesthood of Mask is independent in each major city or region, to prevent
		the frequent action against one thieves' guild or temple from spilling over
		and affecting others. The hierarchy makes use of both priests and thieves.

		In areas with a single strong thieves'  guild, the temple or shrine to Mask is
		usually connected to the guild hall via underground tunnels. In large cities
		with competing guilds, the temple is in an underground location and is
		recognized as neutral ground by all sides.
