Off the coast of the medieval sect laid a small island. Sheer cliffs and dense, foggy forests made it a frequent setting for the region's ghost stories. Depending on who was asked, the island was home to a mad spirit, and on dark, calm nights, one could hear crazed laughter from across the water. Others claimed that the very air surrounding the island was poisonous- those foolish enough to draw near enough to see its cliffs through the fog never came back. Still others spoke of humans cursed with the faces of animals that coasted through the forests, whispering secrets into an unlucky mortal's ear until they were driven insane. Whatever one chose to believe, no self-respecting mortal dared even to sail nearby the island for fear of becoming the next victim.

This was where the Masked Ones resided. Towering above the tallest trees in the center of the island was an ancient, sprawling castle. Although it was crumbling in some spots, it provided a shelter for the cult when they weren't out harvesting souls. There were enough rooms for all the members to have their own, but for the more... independent individuals, there were plenty of other places on the island that they could inhabit. The great hall of the castle was largely intact, and the Jackal had seen to it that it was restored to much of its former glory with lavish decor. It was large enough that the Raccoon, the cult's maskmaker, had set up shop in one corner. He hung his tools on the wall and even had a cheerfully burning furnace. The Jackal could usually be found at the far end of the hall on the royal dias. Often lounging atop a cushioned throne made of dark wood and gold accents. The Eagle and Hyena were typically at his side as well. The castle also boasted a weaponry, armory, and whatever else the cult members had decided to convert rooms into.

''This is supposed to be a kind of 'lobby' thread for characters to move in and out of whenever it's needed so that all the Masked Ones activity in the compound is condensed into one spot. You can do whatever you like here, build plots, talk to other cultists, whatever. I'd only like Masked Ones on this thread (starting out at least) so there shouldn't be any other characters here besides the cult kids. Feel free to make threads about what they do outside of the compound and out and about in Forengard :)''
