Flames, music and dancers move as one, set to the swaying skull of Varanus. Flicking tongue and pendulum neck keep time and make it disappear as the sparks swirl upward toward extinction in the moon beams above the great fire. Those that meet the gaze of Varanus fall willingly into the eyeless pits that recess to the reptilian realms beyond.
Our Headdresses rest comfortably on a human head. Headdresses vary in build time and complexity, scroll down for further details. You will be amazed by the experience of watching your Headdress come together as each component is joined. We hope you enjoy the build as much as the finished piece.
The Bonefaced Mystics are inspired by animals, anatomy, ancient cultures and ceremonial dress. Included with each headdress of this set are the FEATHERS OF HERAKON. Adorn your amazing headpiece with these magic elements. It's whispered that those who wear the Feathers of Herakon may enter the Fleshless Forest and join the great fire dance.

The flames roar from the clearing, reaching for the stars as lightning claws from the sky. Herakon watches from the carrion strewn trees as pandemonium ensues below. Bones rattle to the rhythms of Kapros as the Pyre Master pounds on skins of mortals stretched over logs. Varanus entrances the gathering through the eyeless pits of his swaying skull, while Gowlock howls the hymns of the hollow into the night. We listen with our body, mind and spirit as our mortal shells blister and sluff off to the ground, stamped into the earth by the dance of the dead.
