Mask of Truths

The item in question, the Mask of Truths, can be traced back to one Eldmonte Viewe, a volasion assasin and at the time, god of assasination. Eldmonte wasnt exactly a noted assasin, but had just begun his career in the courts of the queen herself, one of the many assasins hired to protect the integrity and security of the throne. Unlike many of his peers, Eldmonte wondered about the lives that passed through his skilled fingers and into darkness, wondered if there deaths were deserved, or if there pleas of innocence were true. There was no room for hesitation within the ranks of the most elite assasins, so Eldmonte took the problem on himself. Going to priests of Sheshensis, he posed the idea of crafting an item that would allow him to see the worth of those he would target. The priests of sheshensis agreed, and removing the face of a willing high angel of the serpent god, crafted the cast off skin into a blank, white mask.  This new relic, as promised, showed the truth of the people he killed, and it was this, many scholars believe, led to his downfall. In the end, innocent and guilty alike had to fall before the queen to make sure the security and integrity of the throne stayed intact. This was something many of the older assasins knew, but the younger assasins had to grow into. Another side effect of the mask was that, although it was blank, a face appeared on the mask as the target fell into ruin. Those shadowing the rookie assasin would quite often see the face of sorrow, or rarely, a face of happiness upon the mask, and believed that Eldmonte's true emotion were revealed upon the maks at the moment of there deaths. Years went buy and Eldmonte grew in his powers, the mask had opened the assasins eyes, and showed him just what kind of cold, unloved work his craft must do. Many around Eldmonte in these later years knew him to be a grim, uncaring man, but regardless, there was always an expression etched into the mask as he killed his target. Time went on, and the god of assasins became more and more unhinged, as he simply did not have the mentality for his craft. Some say he was good at heart, and had to perform dark tasks far too often for his soul to gain rest. All anyone can say for certainty is that he failed his final mission in the end, though even that is speculated. It is said that he was hired to kill one of the failed prospects for the queen. The new queen had been chosen and the mother of one of the prospects believed the choice was unjust, and that the council had been staging the whole thing for years. Eldmonte was chosen to kill the child quietly, to make it look accidental so as to aleviate suspicioun. Eldmonte approached the child in the cover of shadow, silent, and skilled. He observed the child, and his mask showed him what he already knew, that she was innocent, pure and without fault. It was her mother who was consumed with greed and rage. Eldmonte has faced such hard tasks before, but it is believed that by this point, he was simply beyond believing in his position anymore. Moving into the girls room, he approached her, told her that he was Eldmonte Viewe, and that he was a royal assasin. He informed the girl to tell the guards of what was about to transpire, then to move away from her mother for her own safety. Eldmonte then took his blade, plunged it into his heart, and died before the young lady. The young lady did just what he had told her to do, running out of the house and to a guard, it is said she later went to live with her uncle just outside of volasia.  Eldmonte's extreme action caught the attention of the council, and it was investigated further, at which time they found that it was indeed the mother, and not the child who was the real culprit and problem. The childs life was spared, though she was asked to speak before the council and give detail about the incident. All was as she had said before, but what the council was most interested in, the part that they pondered the most, was that as Eldmonte spoke to her, and then ended his life, his masked remained blank, right up until his last breath, when a thin, grim smile creased across the pale blank visage.  The mask was sealed away, the strange, grim smile, never leaving the once blank mask.
