The Masquers

The Masquers
A faction in Krevborna

The Masquers are vagabond entertainers and bards who wander the world by wagon or riverboat. Masquers earn money in their travels as carnival performers, musicians, actors, dancers, and soothsayers; they are distrusted due to their rootlessness, but few do not look forward to the respite from everyday drudgery that their roving circuses and fairs provide. Most Masquer troupes make it their mission to collect local history and folklore. The Masquers possess mysterious bardic traditions and knowledge of secret ways to harness the power of sorcerous bloodlines. 
    • Motto. “We must keep the lore of the land from dying a quiet death.”
    • Belief. Collecting and preserving local history and folklore will keep the world from slipping into a dark age of ignorance.
    • Goal. Disseminate information and techniques for combating the forces of supernatural evil.
    • Quest. Rescue a member of the Masquers from puritanical inquisitors.
