「即便『假面愚者』也会严肃地歌颂他们追随的星神——因为祂永远不会放弃你，永远不会令你沮丧，永远不会抛弃你，永远不会让你哭，永远不会同你道别，永远不会用谎言伤害你。」
——艾斯•里克利，艾普瑟隆Ⅻ星系流行巨星
「假面愚者」以一则寓言诉说着他们崇奉的神明是如何降生的——当欢愉之主攀上存在之树的高枝，祂窥见真空冰冷可憎，星辰机械运转，万物意义让位于虚无。祂继续望去，直到目睹一名婴儿落地啼哭犹如受尽委屈，便忍不住纵声大笑。这清澈的笑声撕裂了冰冷死寂的宇宙，回荡诸界至今。
愚者们深信：世界的真相只是一个笑话，万物的终极意义存留于单纯的笑声。宇宙无情，却有欢乐可以消弭痛苦，冲淡悲戚，抵抗虚无，治愈创伤。笑，是智慧种族的天赋之权，是唯一的答案。
在所有欢愉信众之中，「假面愚者」的理念尤其激进，他们为了找寻乐子不惜一切代价，往往将所到之处搅得天翻地覆。笑英雄自以为是，笑王者权欲熏心，笑恋人痴缠纠葛，笑智者机关算尽……其所作一切都是为了搅动生命这潭死水，使之激荡变化，而愚者们自变化中解读出值得嘲弄的乐趣。若有人能戏弄他们，那更是求之不得的乐事。
Masked Fools — Elation
"Even an organization like the Masked Fools sing praises of their Aeon. The Aeon will never give you up, never let you down, or run around and desert you. THEY will never make you cry, say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you."
— Ast Rickley, super popstar of the Epsilon XII System
The Masked Fools tell a parable of the birth of their beloved Aeon. When the Aeon of Elation climbed to the highest branch on the Tree of Existence, THEY saw the cold and despicable void, the stars operating like machinery, and how the meaning of all things bows before nothingness. THEY continued looking until THEY saw a baby fall to the ground and cry because it had been wronged. The Aeon burst into laughter, laughter so clear it tore through the cold universe and still reverberates through the universe today.
The Fools believe that the truth of the world is a joke, and that the ultimate meaning of all things lies in mere laughter. The universe is merciless, but there is joy to eliminate pain, dilute sorrow, resist nihilism, and heal wounds. Laughter, the gift of intelligent races, is the only answer.
Masked Fools are extremely radical when it comes to their beliefs among the followers of Elation. In their pursuit of pleasure, they do whatever it takes to find it, often causing havoc wherever they go. They laugh at heroes for self-righteousness, kings for their lust of power, lovers for their infatuation, and scholars for their overthinking. The Fools' objective is to stir the stagnant pool of life to create surges and change, because change is a source of mockery and amusement to the Fools. It would be a welcome sight if someone could turn the tables on them.
