SoulMask

- | The Five were at all times in the History of the City the finest masters of their crafts. The title of gran maestro is reserved only to five individuals, one for about each million citizen (And that's why Being a Gran Maskerer Maestro is a One in a Million thing) and it is held until the Maskerer's Death or By grave acts of heresy in the offence of The Mask. When one of the five titles becomes vacant, a temporal judician jury is established to select the new Gran Maskerer among the most talented Makerers of The City. In a typical Citizen Lifetime this occurrance happens only about two or more rarely three times. Each and every "Advent" of andoter gran maestro is always a celebration within the city, and the typical festivities that celebrate the new grandmaestri are about three or four months in lenght. (Quite short if you ask me.) Whan a new gran maestro is titled, the first thing he r she is obliged to do is to create the mot important mask of is life, one that has not to be worn ever in any situation until the gran maskerer's death. This mask has to be well taken care of, and it embodies the absolute power and magnificence of the art of Crafting and mask making, and it is the most valuable possetion of a master mask maker. The Mask is called "The SoulMask" And if one were to lose it or destroy it, it would certainly mean immediate radiation from the order of the Maskerers and the lost of the title of Gran Makserer Maestro. This is something incredibly rare and it is not uncommon that if one were to be excommunicated, the consequences to face would be terrible. Many citizens opt for the exhile or rarely the ececution of the "traitors", as every Gran Maestro / Maestra is a very well respected member of the social hierarchy and the commynity and is well known all troughout the city and it's outskirts. Each and every gran maestro, at any given time, receives a "Hero" / Idol status from the momenthe is choisen as a Gran Maestro. Every Grandmaestro dons his or her soul mask only and exclusively on the day of his or her death, at is written in the sacred code of the Maskerers that " Every Gran Maestro Shall be Buried with his most prized and beautiful Craft."
- | The crafting of a granmaestro soulmask often requires Years, and it is completed only well into the careeer of the Gran Maskerer Maestro. As such, many Soulmasks are strange in the way that they present themselves, often notably showing the difference in ability of the Gran Maskerer Maestro itself. Unofrtunately the raiding and looting of precious soulmasks of the past has been a continious problem for generations, and as such many Gran Maestry choose to be buried in secret locations, so as to not loose their Soulmask for all the days that will come. The rascals that succseed in looting a lootmask though have in their hands one of the most beautiful and prized possesion that exists under the tendome, and at such important soulmasks of the pasts belonged to even more important Gran Maestri are often seen in the private collections of many rich Amorists, Ecclesia and Merchants.
