The Myriad-Masked is an odd sort of Hour, rarely remaining in a singular body for long and instead living within the minds of those who serve it, mortal, Long, and Name alike. Some say they're not even an Hour at all, but merely an organization that shares a power, a method, and a goal. The servants of the Hour, who adorn themselves in masks resembling cracked geodes that give the Hour their name, however continue to insist that they are a true Hour or are in the process of becoming one. Memories, identities, and names flow freely between the servants of the Hour, and a vast majority of them are completely interchangeable in their identical masks. The Myriad-Masked is a Hour of stealth and subterfuge, favoring tactics of blackmail and infiltration to get what they want. It values knowledge over all else, and values the most well-kept secrets of others as the most valuable of knowledge
== History ==
What would later become the Myriad-Masked was seeded into the minds of mortals by the Hour known as [[The More-Opened]], who in its exploration of the mortal mind transgressed against its individuality, opening doors for the Mist to pass through. Shortly thereafter, [[The Panopticon]] was shattered, sending a pulse of radiance throughout the Mansus and the Mists and into the newly-opened minds of these mortals, melding them into one with its searing radiance. So, the Hour known as the Myriad-Masked was born, as these mortals gathered in the Chamber of Revelations to gaze upon the crystal-filled fissures that were created when the Panopticon shattered. Here, they learned the arts of wounds and openings from studying the fissures in the walls and the floor, and the arts of lights and revelations from the memories that remained of the Panopticon, and the arts of confusion and deception from the Mists within their minds. Here, they devoted themselves to knowing all there was to know, and to transgress against that which mortals, Long, and Hours wish to keep secret, hidden, or forgotten.
