Legends Of Folktale: The Lady Of The Mask Image

Stories are told many times and over many years across burning fires surrounded by the darkness of the night. Stories of heroic feats preformed by powerful people that travel across the land simply through word of mouth.
You take on the role of one of these heroes dealing with the great past you’ve left behind that you now strive to live up to. You hear your name in the streets as you pass through towns unknown. These stories depict some grand, confident, almost god like and you have been left from these heroic events broken, questioning and unsure of yourself. Not all heroes remain in the spotlight, and many who try and live their lives after the glory days, fall into the dark times of their life living in the shadow of their former self.
Although your stories continue to be told across the lands, your face is only remembered by those who were close to you in these times. Many of your old contacts have moved on from the golden days and you struggle to find your place within society. You take on a quest to find your new self within a changed world from the past and create a new identity that is beyond the depth found within the folktales around the campfire.

The Lady Of The Mask: Many long weary nights were spent patrolling the empty alleyways along side the now emptying taverns of the town. A great seductress you are, mastering your craft of deception you lured many men into your arms for the night only to have your way with them by morning. A soft breathless voice hidden behind a elegant mask always peaked the interest of an incoherent man. City to city, you never stayed in one place too long, meeting many friends along the way and leaving many memories behind as you traveled across the lands. After leaving an epic story behind, you crave the spotlight for yourself. People only knew of you through the stories they heard, but the few who knew your true self thought you were nothing more than a fellow neighbor in the city.
