Kryvo, Mask of Phenax

World of Theros

Kryvo, Mask of Phenax

Wondrous Item

Legendary Artifact Requires Attunement

Phenax wears Krybo, a golden mask hiding his secrets and
lies. In his hands he meddles into the affairs of mortals,
spreading lies, coaxing betrayals, and starting wars. Phenax
has never been seen without his mask, but given his nature,
no one can even be sure it exists at all. Should one of his
followers be granted the mask it would be to sow the seeds of
betrayal into the hearts of mortals and enact a grand plan
with Theros as the stage.

Mask of Deception

This mask grants a +2 bonus to your
AC as your form seems to shift and dance. Additionally, no
matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are
telling the truth indicates that you are being truthful.

Blessing of Lies

If you are a worshiper of Phenax, you
gain all the following benefits for which you have the required
piety:

• Piety 10+. The mask has 1 randomly determined minor
  beneficial property.


• Piety 25+. The mask has 1 randomly determined major
  beneficial property and 1 randomly determined major
  detrimental property.


• Piety 50+. The mask has 1 additional randomly
  determined major beneficial property and 1 randomly
  determined minor detrimental property.

If you aren’t a worshiper of Phenax, the mask has 1
randomly determined major detrimental properties.
See “Artifacts” in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide
for details on randomly determined properties.

Liar's Embrace

While you wear the mask, it projects an
Illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near
your actual location, causing any creature to have
disadvantage on Attack rolls against you. If you take damage,
the property ceases to function until the start of your next
turn. This property is suppressed while you are Incapacitated,
Restrained, or otherwise unable to move.

Spells

The mask has 15 charges. While holding it, you
can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast
one of the following spells (save DC 18) from it: minor
illusion (0 charges), disguise self (1 charge), blur (2 charges),
invisibility (2 charges), mirror image (2 charges),
hallucinatory terrain (4 charges), mislead (5 charges),
simulacrum (7 charges), illusory dragon (8 charges). The
mask regains 1d12+3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Destroying the Mask

To destroy the mask, one must take
it Erebos’s palace in Tizerus. There one must speak a truth of
the world while shattering a mask of the Returned within 5
feet of Kryvo every day for 100 days. Finally, one must then
find the original Eidolon place the mask upon it and then
defeat the creature.
