Mask of Lochoria

How long can you keep a secret?

The Mask of Lochoria is an entirely unique magical mask that was crafted by Iolond, the god of secrets himself. It allows its user to enter a hidden dimension of reality that overlaps with the other planes, but lets the subject remain entirely undetectable. Interacting meaningfully with objects outside of this reality while donning the mask is not possible, however, one can still see, hear, and feel normally. In most places, the world still looks and acts as it does wherever the mask was put on, but there are a few locations that contain more, such as hidden entrances or strange creatures and weather only present when it is worn. In particular, it grants access to Lochoria's Haven.

Originally, this mask is believed to have been gifted to Kaimana, a formidable forest nymph who resides in the Feywild before it was eventually given to Lochoria instead. The magic from this mask powered Lochoria's Haven and acted as a means of entering an exiting this hidden plane. When the goddess eventually cast the mask away in an attempt to attract mortals to her location, she instead doomed the haven, which began to deteriorate around her. As it slowly died, so did she, withering in obscurity until she was discovered by Zakina Kociak-Falenmir and company.

The mask remains in the hands of Zakina herself, who uses it as a line of direct communication with Iolond.
