This is one of my dnd characters Erelaste.  Used Mark of Shadow elf basis for her in a FR setting to represent her lineage to Eilistrae.  Haven’t drawn her showing her mark before.  Finally got something I’m happy with.  She’s a Lunar Sorceror/ Glamour bard multi class.

Fabulous Facemask (Day 22 of Magic Item March, a 31-day series of homebrewed magic items)

(Image source: Rubber Mask Firm Lover by Dr Jart; image description: A smooth face made out of shiny pink rubber with its eyes closed and lips pursed as if whistling.)

Wondrous item, common

Each single-use facemask allows you to cast disguise self to take a specific form that was chosen when the facemask was enchanted. Several standard disguises are offered, but the forms may be customized for a small fee. The disguise lasts for four hours, and at the end of it your skin is smoother and more moisturized. If you have the mark of shadows, you may alter the disguise at any time during the spell’s duration.

Background

Fabulous facemasks were once used extensively in House Phiarlan’s performance venues but fell out of fashion before the Last War for two main reasons. First, it became a mark of pride among the house’s top actors, costume designers, and makeup artists to not have to rely on magic in order to embody a character. Second, and probably more importantly, the progress of magical research eventually produced a cheaper version of the hat of disguise. Though this magic item had been in existence for centuries, it was generally prohibitively expensive to maintain a collection of them for multiple theaters across Khorvaire. House Cannith’s efforts to improve on the original design eventually produced the version seen today in House Phiarlan and Thuranni venues, but fabulous facemasks have found a new market in the aristocracy as wellness products. For a small fee, any socialite can now appear 5, 10, even 15 years younger for the duration of a night out, and the elvish dragonmarked houses gladly provide the products to meet the demand. It’s never a bad thing for them to cultivate relationships with the rich and powerful, after all.

Story Hooks

Someone is selling tainted fabulous facemasks. Multiple members of high society have been laid low by a contact poison delivered through facemasks purchased directly from House Thuranni. Verinaria d’Thuranni has asked you to investigate the source of this poison and root out any traitors responsible for this mess.

Your contact in House Thuranni has gone missing. It’s been several days and your informant about shady dealings within the house hasn’t shown for your scheduled meeting. You want to find them, but there’s just one problem - they always wore a fabulous facemask so you have no idea what they actually look like.
