As it seems there's little or no detail available on the Puppeteers, I'll start making it up... but to avoid starting off wrong, here are my initial thoughts for comment & criticism.

The Puppeteer Troops are commonly considered to be a form of Trickster or Donadar worshipping subcult, but in truth predate both those deities (Donadar even allegedly learned his craft from the Puppeteers). Nonetheless, the deity whom they first worshipped, Tylenea, died with most of the Celestial Court at the destruction of the Spike, so in truth their worship is now directed through Eurmal the Trickster, current master of the Illusion Rune. They shun the trickster's other, less acceptable, traits, however, and are known sometimes as 'Tricksters without Malice' and never as Fools. Their worship is strictly of the powers of Illusion, and many claim that Tylenea's death is of no great significance, as all of life and creation is but a temporary thing, an illusion of the whim of existance. The power lives on, and they can tap into it, entertaining and enlightening the masses with their displays, and their attitude that all reality is no more than illusion, and often less.

I intend to give them 2 Affinities (as an aspect/subcult of Eurmal): Deception (Weave Flawless Tale, Suspend Disbelief, Convince) Illusion (Using my Illusion ruules previously presented, there would be a multitude of specific Feats of individual Illusions)

Secret: Swap Places (the puppeteer troops definately use this)

Other Side: The troops continue to wander after death



Just sketches so far, what do you all think?
