The Theaturges

The Theaturges

This guild is known largely for owning and maintaining most of the theaters and arenas of this world. They usually wear layered, heavy robes and masks that fully hide their identities. The only time they don't wear these outfits is when they are performing, at which time they usually wear costumes that still keep their identities a secret. The main reason for this is to avoid individualism, as they find it important to be an empty slate that can take on any personality or appearance at any time. The only way to differentiate one from another is by rank, as initiates have plain white masks, hands have plain black masks, overseers have both black and white with unique patterns for each person, and the regisseurs have golden inlays and flourishes along with black and white patterns that vary from person to person.

The Theaturges worship Theatis above all else, and to join one must undergo a small ritual in which they publicly devote their lives to him in a small theater performance. Rumors say that the guild is lead directly by Theatis, with the highest ranked individuals often communicating directly with the Godking himself. It's even believed that the Godking's Event was planned and set up by the Theaturges before being handed over to the Council of Kings.
