Daedra Prince: Clavicus Vile
Summoning Date: 1st of Morning Star
Description (from the text.rsc file): Ever the vain one, Clavicus Vile made a masque suited to his own personality. The bearer of the masque is more likely to get a positive response from the people of Tamriel. The higher his personality, the larger the bonus. The best known story of the masque tells the tale of Avalea, a noblewoman of some renown. As a young girl, she was grossly disfigured by a spiteful servant. Avalea made a dark deal with Clavicus Vile and received the masque in return. Though the masque did not change her looks, suddenly she had the respect and admiration of everyone. A year and a day after her marriage to a well connected baron, Clavicus reclaimed his masque. Although pregnant with his child, Avalea was banished from the baron's household. Twenty one years and one day later, Avalea's daughter claimed her vengeance by slaying the baron.
Comments: For those with a strong need to be loved and appreciated, the Masque is tailor made. Essentially the same as an item with an "increases reputation" effect, which takes one of your ring slots (go figure). Like most artifacts, the quest is to descend to the depths of some dungeon and off someone (a werebeastie in this case) and then go collect your artifact.
