Imaskar

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Credited by most sages as being the first human empire in the Realms. It disintegrated quickly following the destruction of Raurin, its first and most powerful kingdom. In the wake of Imaskar other nations were founded or refounded, including Deep Imaskar, Mulhorand, Unther, Durpar, and (later) Narfell, Raumathar, and Rashemen. Today, only Ra-khati survives from the age before the cataclysm.
