False Imaskarcana

The False Imaskarcana were a collection of seven artifacts created before the collapse of the ancient Imaskar Empire. By their name, they were associated with the genuine Imaskarcana, seven artifacts that recorded the empire's knowledge of magic.

One of the False Imaskarcana was Dhonas's Shroud. Other artifacts once similarly associated with the Imaskarcana, but later known not to number amongst them, were its sister artifacts: Ynaerv's Mask, the Mask of Aberration, Shade's Veil, the Mask of Shum, The Facade, and The Master's Face. Together, they were better known as the Faces of Madness.

After the empire's fall, in, the surviving artificer Kujawa carried Dhonas's Shroud and claimed the Dragon Throne in the Khati city of Thakos, the former capital of Upper Imaskar. With that, he declared himself Emperor and founded a new realm, Anok-Imaskar.
