Golden Mask

Description

This mask is rumored to have certain properties of interest to philosophers. It lies on the face of an ancient mummy within the shop of Getech in Nithy-Vash. The mask has only been invoked four times; of the fate of the first three owners nothing is known. The fourth owner was a poet who flung the mask away in an alley in Celephaïs, and then slit his wrists. Always after being invoked the mask returns to rest upon the face of its guardian. Any person placing the mask upon his face will see visions of strange vistas from the earth's past, gains a random amount of sanity-blasting Cthulhu Mythos knowledge, and suffer the consequences thereof. The mask will only grant its boon to one person, before it returns to the Occupant of the Box.
