Masks of the Blood Moon

I would like to know how they are made.

I always assumed they were crafted in the cult by some demonic craftman (Blood Moon ?), but Aatrox's recall shook those assumptions. With Aatrox being the definitive Blood Moon demon, when he recalls, is he creating all those masks out of the blue? or is he summoning them from the Blood Moon world?

Same as Sivir, she has almost merged with her demon, and that is what her half-mask represents, but is the mask just growing around her face at the same rate that she bonds with her demon, or is she having new masks crafted each cycle of the transformation?

Even though it isn't related to the main question. Could we get a Wallpaper with all Blood Moon masks created up to this point? Like a wall displaying all the mask hanged in it. I love the mask's design and would be great to have them as a wallpaper.

Each trial is unique to the individual, and masks aren’t crafted the way you might expect.

Can’t answer more than that just yet, I’m afraid.

According to Blood Moon Twisted Fate's lore, there is something called "the trial of the masks", which makes me think one has to earn the right to wear one.

As to how they are made, or where they came from, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps they are from the demonic realm, as the actual demons(besides Aatrox, I think) have them immediately it seems. Perhaps the masks simply manifest over time to reflect both the host and the demon they bonded with. For example, TF's doesn't scream "demon", but it doesn't scream "human" either, which adds to the fact that no one knows what he is anymore. He is also the only one without horns/fangs as far as I know.

Then you have the priestesses, who have their masks off to the side. I think that's what Sivir's is. I don't think it is meant to cover her entire face, and if it is, I don't think it is meant to be worn on her face. Then again, there is Diana, but I think she's a special case in that regard.

So, in other words, a bit hard to tell. I don't think they are made by the cult, though, as it seems like a lot of work to have to constantly update the masks as the process goes along, and TBH I don't think Ornn would be the one to it anyway. Jhin would probably be the one making the masks, since he knows pretty much everything about the demons and how to represent them.
