Identity, appearance, and origin

Overview

Introduction

Bolaire Lathalia wears a supernatural grey clay mask with almost-black lips, tear-like cuts and deep pools of darkness where the eyes should be. Tiny blue lights blink independently within those black spaces, and the mask sighs and moves exactly like a living face. The black-clay object hidden in Thaisha’s silver box begins assembling into a mask that closely resembles it.

Appearance

A grey clay face with dark grey or almost-black lips, large black eye pools, cut lines resembling tear tracks and tiny blue reflected lights blinking deep within the darkness.
