Masque of the Wrathful God

In the mystical world of Rolara, the Elven Pantheon is a tapestry of divine beings, each thread representing a deity with its unique domain. Among these threads, one stands out, a paradox, a forgotten deity known only as the Wrathful God. This deity, unlike its counterparts, is not revered for wisdom or tranquility but feared for its unpredictable fury and destructive power.
The Wrathful God, it is said, once walked among the elves, donned in a simple mask of xyxl tree bark. This mask, known as the Masque of the Wrathful God, is the sole surviving relic of this enigmatic deity. It is an artifact of immense power, a conduit for the deity's wrath, and a symbol of divine intervention.

The mask is unremarkable in appearance, a plain wooden facade lacking straps, adorned with ancient Elven symbols. Yet, its power is anything but ordinary. When held to the face within proximity of a hostile creature of significant power, the mask triggers a remarkable transformation. The bearer grows long, sharp Elf ears, their size increases dramatically, and they become an embodiment of divine wrath, an Avatar of Wrath.
The Avatar of Wrath is a formidable entity, imbued with heightened strength and dexterity, and the ability to cast powerful spells. It wields a Wrathful Blade that emits radiant energy, capable of piercing through any resistance or immunity. The avatar is driven by a divine sense of justice, compelled to confront and defeat the hostile creature that triggered the transformation.

However, the mask is not easily obtained. It requires divine intervention, often involving a quest to restore balance or a ritual that tests the character's knowledge of ancient Elven lore. And the transformation comes with a cost. Once the avatar reverts to their original form, they are left exhausted, their equipment reappears, and their personality returns to normal, leaving them with a lingering sense of divine wrath and justice.
The Masque of the Wrathful God is a testament to the paradoxical nature of the Elven Pantheon, a reminder of the wrathful deity that once walked among the elves. It is a relic of immense power, a symbol of divine intervention, and a conduit for divine wrath. It is a thread in the tapestry of the Elven Pantheon, a thread that stands out, reminding all of the wrathful god's presence and power.
