Description
A shorter man with prim and sharp posture stands wearing an intricate wooden mask carved and inlaid with metals around the eyes or painted with red lines. His eyes peek out through the metal-encrusted holes in the mask, leaving his expression unreadable. The mask dominates his appearance as the central visual feature across all encounters. Daal is a middle-aged, relatively short man whose face is concealed behind an intricate wooden mask. The mask is sharp in shape, painted bloodred with red lines, and inlaid with six different metals around the eyes. He wears formal Malwish ambassadorial attire and holds himself with prim, precise posture, his expression impossible to read beneath the mask.
