50 - Magical Item: Mask of Underdog - Item created by the Mask Painter. Usually in bright red, easily wearable form resembling dog's face. It is usually found around areas deemed boring by the Mask Painter, by people who are losing everything they had, be it king or beggar. When worn by any sapient creature, the mask changes, taking perfect appearance of wearer's face and fusing with it, literally becoming wearer's face. In this state the wearer gains what they need to raise from their hardships; courage, wisdom, intelligence, skill or power. Once wearer is once again steady footing in their life, the mask falls off and disappears.
It's the Mask Painter's first tool to ensure stories where is none. It's first found by a Trohnak.
50 - Magical Item: Mask of Fool - Second story generator created by the Mask Painter. Identical in appearance with Mask of Underdog, but opposite in its purpose. It is found only by people in position of power, who have too much, in their moment of self doubt. When worn it becomes their second face just like its counterpart, but instead of giving, it takes. It takes courage, it takes wisdom, it makes its wearer make bad and foolish decisions, bringing them from heights down to their knees in mud. It can send judges into prison and ruin kingdoms.
While Mask of Fool and Mask of Underdog can be worn by siblings at the same time, they are never part of same story.
50 - Magical area: Library of Stories. An extradimensional place where all stories, poems, theatre manuscripts, all story telling mediums in history of this world are recorded. Good ones and bad ones are found here alike. No story is forgotten. Every continent has one wandering entrance, but only those the Mask Painter approves can enter, only one each decade. And as usual, Mask Painter is very fickle about his criterias. On some decade he may let in the first one asking, and on next it may be one specific person even if it never occurs to that person they could get in. Whatever fits Mask Painter's whim.
50 - Special event: Year of Fantasy - Once every 500 years Mask Painter walks on earth in disguise of trader, selling well made masks wherever a festival is going on. The masks he sells bring either fortune or misfortune to their new owners for rest of the year. On this year stories come life in accordance of storyteller's talent. Masterful orator may make listeners truly see and feel the story, as if they were part of it. In case Mask Painter is in the city/village, told stories may even make permanent changes into reality, such as new painting or mural on walls decipiting told story, replica of legendary weapon related to the story staying behind, or perhaps footprints of a monster on ceiling if it was a horror story.
