La Maschera Pallida - The Pale Mask, or also known as the Spirit Mask. It is a tradition where ancient Maltese sought to invite the Spirits into their being after a cleansing rite, to borrow their wisdom, their knowledge, or perhaps to hope to evade the whims of fate through their intervention.
And no - by 'Spirits' - I do not mean the Nomads, as the Technocrats or the Order would like to scream. The visions granted by the Nomads were simpler, louder, demanding and more direct. For a time, they managed to deceive some of us before we realized that these were flawed, fallible, and mortal beings, certainly not worthy of worship or following.
But what exactly are the Spirits, I hear you ask? Well, my dear fiancé of reason, that remains a mystery - are they constructs of our subconscious? Our dearly departed? Our own World communing with us?
Whatever their nature, one thing is certain - their guidance and visions have aided our spiritual guides for centuries. They were our enigmatic companions and protectors on our once desolate and unforgiving world. You have seen their shrines all over my home region, and there are still holidays dedicated to them.
