The faceless royals wear no face nor mask, they believe that the beast should not have a face, for its facelessness is enough for their love. they call on discarded masks and place them on horrid homunculi to be used as beasts of war, to show the world that the only true monsters have faces. They are lead by Cynthia von Applebright Apple-bright the 5th, a noble woman who hosts many masquerades of which no one without a mask leaves. She claims like all the names to have met the horrible faceless thing and have held a conversation with them. Cynthia her self claims to have had a dance with the thing on dates, some times she has claimed to be married to the beast to avoid suitors. she leads the faceless royals as a high society club, just a weird little thing in the background of big towns and cities. but they are oh so much more.

the carnies believe it will never find a face, that it will make masks for the whole world first, masks they can call faces. they use the masks for themselves, to be come freaks that astound and creeps that mystify. some find these forms much more comfortable then the face they where given at birth, more freeing from the pressure from the monsters that forced them to keep their masks on. The leader of the carnies is of course the ringmaster, also know as the lion tongued. The Ringmaster has been know to have long chats with his mirror before long big top shows, most notably without a mask his reflection is also known to respond with masks from the mirror.

The puppets follow the masks they are given, when the mask falls off, they find peace until they find a new face, new part to play, a purpose crafted to be thrown away. Of course they chose what mask to pick up and must accept the responsibility for such actions as all fables must be followed, as all plays must be completed, and as all puppet shows must be preformed. The puppet master tugs at his followers fates, helping them finding the masks that will make them happy and reach there happy ending in the cold ground. The puppet master claims to be a puppet himself, a mere refection of a truly great power, a puppet master among puppets but a puppet among puppet masters.
