Sometime during Prehistory, from the depths of the plane of Hades, Doppelgangers arrived in Quelmar. Most began taking forms and inserting themselves into the societies they found, eager to learn more of this strange new Material Plane that they found themselves in. Some of them were not content to simply live among the residents of Quelmar, instead beginning crusades to subjugate this new world or become objects of worship. Still others sought to destroy everything, allowing the souls who resided in this new plane to be dragged back to Hades. | Sometime during Prehistory, from the depths of the plane of Hades, Doppelgangers arrived in Quelmar.

Erathar wanted none of this. A Doppelganger greatly attuned to the fabric of magic, the multiverses, and fate itself, Erathar knew quickly that this new land would not survive forever. At first they were content to explore and commit it all to memory, Erathar began getting images, feelings, and predictions of heroes, monuments, and items that would be needed even after the physical lands of Quelmar were destroyed. Distraught over this knowledge, they took two major steps to ensuring everything would have a chance. | Erathar wanted none of this.

Whether Erathar is content or subdued, their knowledge can be drawn upon by the wearer. This can take the form of asking advice of the mask's spirit, demanding information, or even delving into the memories of the spirit (which includes anything it saw or experienced while born by previous wearers of the mask). No matter how the wearer chooses to access the information, it never comes to the wearer in words. Usually it is quick images that much be sifted through, though powerful users have been able to experience whole scenes in a matter of seconds. | Whether Erathar is content or subdued, their knowledge can be drawn upon by the wearer.
