Fae masks
the masks of fae are highly prized as burial masks for monster hunters killed in battle. ex., if your old master dies protecting the city from a dragon, you will go out and hunt a fae (the higher ranking the better) to pay respect to your master and the skills they taught you. Unfortunately this tradition has instilled a deep mistrust amongst fae against all non-fae, and especially known monster hunters, because who knows if the next asshole will want to steal your face. (stealing a fae’s mask won’t fatally wound them, but it does take a while to grow back, and sometimes it doesn’t grow back at all, leaving them permanently scarred and ugly).
The fae masks do serve a practical purpose as burial masks though, as any corpse reanimated while wearing one will completely retain the personality and memories it possessed while alive.
What would it mean for a fae if they gave their mask away willingly, and what would it mean for the recipient?
they wouldn’t ever take off their current mask willingly because that would be very very painful but archfey often give away their previous molts to their warlocks. what any given mask will do though is down to which fae it came from and what their abilities are: ex. oberon’s mask offers truesight and a number of other nifty little things ;)
