Masks of Dii Consentes

[[]]

A series of scrolls - leaves from a folio. The following notes are annotated by Phidius, though not dated.

The creation of the masks has been a labor like that of Hercules. The finding and working of the necessary materials has been difficult...

My apprentice Gabrinu Attikus Regilus seems to have gone quite mad using the mask of Jupiter. After managing to wrestle it from him, I was once more able to talk to him and not the personality that had manifested. His testimony makes it clear that the mask had convinced him to sacrifice a ram to the mask, to give it more energy. Such a sacrifice seems to have made the personality held there even stronger...I find that now the mask has it's own thoughts and goals. I have cold chills that I have already created so many of these items. I fear their effect on the world may not be as beneficial as I had hoped.

Having experienced the chaotic nature of the masks I began to work on a device that would enable the charging of them without the terrible growth in their personality. Through the channeling of sacrifices through the altar the energy seems to be filtered, and does not feed the personality of the mask.

A piece of knowledge has come to me too late. It seems that the area where the altar rests matters. Given the tone of the vis of an area seems to effect the energy transferred to the mask.

I believe that Torenus wishes to emulate my creations. I am hoping to dissuade him from doing so.
