Mnemonic Stories

In the eerie cult, all the novices wear a deep hood that hides their faces completely, except for their one mouth. They look the same and they are trained to speak and act in the exact same way.

At the masquerade, everyone wore the same costume: a silk hood and little else. It was impossible to tell anyone apart until one person opened their mouth to speak.

As a primitive, we can think of this as monk or cultist.
