Flavor text: none

Art notes: An ashen mask.

World of Darkness reference: Ability in VTM for Harbingers of Ashur. The Ashen Mask: The Harbinger has a corpse for a Touchstone that they study. It is damaged only when someone besides themselves interferes with the corpse or causes it to become putrefied beyond recognition.

How does this card address a compelling game need?: This card is part of the Mask set for hecata. It is a card that was designed before psychophagia was revelead but can still have an important role. It allows to remove zombies or wraith's from other player ash heap which may hurt their game plan. At the same time it is also a way to deal with torpor on your vampires but only if it was because of combat. This card can only be placed if an ally is burned so it needs to have allies in the ash heap to function.
