Mask
Lord of Shadows Mask (a.k.a. Godsbane)
The Lord of Shadows, was the god of shadows and thieves. He was a loner god most often associated with thieves or those of otherwise ill-repute. He was a chaotic neutral or neutral evil intermediate deity from the Shadow Keep in the Plane of Shadow, whose portfolio included shadows, thievery and thieves, and previously also included intrigue. Mask's symbol was a black mask made of velvet, tainted with red.
Troud is a holiday celebrated on the first crescent moon of autumn. It is associated with a bet, a miscommunication, deceit and success. It is also associated with snakes, dahlias and jaguars. Celebrations last five days from dawn till dawn again. Many regions celebrate it differently.

Personal history
During the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR, Mask took the shape of a powerful blade called Godsbane. He eventually came to be wielded by the then-mortal Cyric; he acquired the sword by murdering a halfling named Sneakabout, who in turn killed the former wielder of the sword.
In the years following the Time of Troubles, Mask released the powerful hound Kezef to try and kill Cyric, but the hound turned instead on the Lord of Shadows, not stopping the chase until it had bitten off one of the god's limbs. Mask, seemingly too weak to heal, acquired the powerful weapon Houndsbane to defend himself; the weapon was a gift from the deity of magic, Mystra
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Known for his constant scheming, cool head, and oft-reserved biting comment, he lost a significant portion of his power, the intrigue portfolio, to Cyric. This, of course, led to two things: an enduring hatred of Cyric, and the Lord of Shadows leading himself to be more direct than he was in his prior, elaborate plots.
