Description
Leather mask used by the ten decipals of sorcery in house Zau Nihl'lu'szin, with the purpouse of conceling the ten individual's faces as they get stripped of their identities at the beginning of their training. This to ensure that no one, noble or common shall be favourized by the masters and the house family and therefor have greater chances of advancing in rank.All ten decipalswear the same clothing armor (light) and weapons to equalize them in every test and trial. If any of the 10 fortell of their identities, or even hints about it gravely enough for an outsider to recognize them they are cast out of their house.
Off course this has a great impact on the individuals and their personalities, as they must erase all ways ofbeing to seem as faceless and anonomous as possible.
Such rules offcourse invite for others to take a shot at identifying them, to either have them cast out (for leverage in sorcery ) or blackmailing.
Design was based on a mix between a kind of evil pope-hat and a armored mardi-gras
Alot of drow runes engraved all around (mostly on the inside though as the mages themselves engrave their own favourite spells, and do not want to have their cover blown showing personal facts all over their faces
Painted over the eyes to give the propper look as they are to be covered by cloth in the early hours of the night, and then removed as it gets really dark.

Is it possible to commission something that would look fairly similar?

Ah, I see your reply on the other angle shot of the mask.
You can't even give us a ballpark number, though?
How many are generally visible in your group?

Reading through your comments, I saw where you said another one of these wouldn't be made unless you hired another mage to the team. Forgive me, I know nothing about you despite watching you, may I inquire as to what that means? Did you make this for some sort of LARP group or something? Questions aside, this is quite stunning. I like the height of this piece as well as the layers of material. It creates a rather imposing look and is very intricate but not over complicated. The little details are very nice as well and I like the information you gave us about the mask.

Awesome design - love the textures of sewn and stamped leather and the whole shape has a wonderfully ancient and arcane feel to it!
