The prismatic cloaks were a set of magical cloaks found in Cormyr in the mid-1480s DR.[1][note 1]
Description[]
The cloaks each had a distinct color, but shared the same design of having the lighter and darker shades of their color party per bend across the cloak, with the shades reversed for the trim.[1]
Powers[]
The prismatic cloaks were metaphorically or literally representative of the Empire of Shade's ability to subvert, deceive, and conquer its divided enemies. Each cloak had a particular defensive enhancement that was not shared by the others.[1]
- Red
Will the spectrum ever mend?
The red cloak warded off fire and extreme heat.[1]
- Violet
The colors suffered a schism.
The violet cloak absorbed electrical shocks for the wearer.[1]
- Blue
Lured by the shade.
The blue cloak protected the wearer from extreme cold.[1]
- Green
But the curse was wrought.
The green cloak absorbed acidic threats.[1]
- Grey
Trapped forever in the dark.
The grey cloak dampened thunderous bursts of sonic energy.[1]
History[]
The cloaks were found among the forces of Thultanthar in the Storm Horns as Harpers and Cormyrean soldiers fought them around Archwizard Amskar's new glacier enclave.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Menace of the Underdark, Shadowfell Conspiracy, and their associated adventure packs can be placed within the period of 1484–1485 DR. This is based upon the ongoing Darkening (1484–1485 DR), and the Netherese events explicitly taking place at the same time as the drow invasion.
Magic of Myth Drannor is dated to 1374 DR, as it takes place during Ilsevele Miritar's Elven Crusade.
The Haunted Halls of Eveningstar appears to be set prior to the misadventures of the Swords of Eveningstar in 1348 DR.
The Mines of Tethyamar reflects the Rage of Demons in 1487 DR.
Mask of Deception is tied to the Tyranny of Dragons event in 1489 DR.
A Study in Sable and Search and Rescue are not tied to any particular events but can be assumed to be set in the 1480s DR as well due to the surrounding context.
