Orphos made a noise like a cornered animal as he stumbled forward. "They don't work for me. Yeah, I made a deal with the first three, but I'm not responsible for what they do with them-- that's on them. And how was I gonna know that they would explode into some deity-killing cult?" he huffed. "To answer your question, the Masked Ones are a group of people who wear these special masks in the shape of animals. These masks keep them alive- they're essentially immortal, as long as they supply the mask with a steady source of souls. Most of them kill mortals, as they tend to keep the masks satiated for longer. As you could probably guess, they aren't too popular. I had three such masks in my possession, and I made a deal with the Jackal, Hyena, and Eagle. That's the last time I contacted them. Promise. After that, I guess they somehow snagged the Raccoon, who is the one who originally made the masks, and they've grown in number since."
