Arcane Journey

Imaskar Seven Artifacts? !

Hearing Brian's calm expression of his purpose, Seth was still surprised by him. He didn't expect the other party's appetite to be so big that he dared to conspire against such taboo things.

He couldn't help restraining his mind, calmed down, and tried to guess what his purpose was by feeling the other party's mental fluctuations.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, this spellcaster who also worked as a legendary psion was so strong that he didn't feel anything, only the desire to pursue mysterious knowledge as a spellcaster was expressed. Extra strong.

This is not an accidental discovery. For every spellcaster, they have a heart of inquiry in pursuit of unknown knowledge.

If not, it would make Him doubtful.

Seth stopped thinking about it and began to ponder Brian's question.

Mentioning the Imaskar Seven Artifacts reminded him of the history of Nether Scrolls.

Although the Netherese scrolls are 100 golden scrolls discovered by the Netherese in the ruins of the ancient elf empire Arivanda, they don't know the true origin of the scrolls.

And Seth happened to be one of the insiders.

After all, these golden scrolls are made from the skin of the giant snake in the universe, and they are not as described in the legend, there are only two sets of 100 scrolls in total.

In fact, there are three sets of Naichrome scrolls.

In addition to the volume lost by the Netherese, the second set of scrolls is located in the depths of the Tower of Windsong in the ruins of the elven city Myth Draenor, turning into a golden grove of knowledge, that is, the lost lady Shar The scroll that was stolen by the believers.

According to his estimation, the reason why Shar's disciples stole the scroll must be that they learned how to guide the power in the scroll, and then used it to hold some kind of huge dark ceremony, so that the shadow magic net completely replaced the mysterious lady's magic net .

Thinking of some characteristics of the Cosmos Serpent, he faintly realized that no matter whether the terrible ceremony held by the disciples of Shar was successful or not, the fate of this set of scrolls being destroyed probably cannot be avoided by external force.

Since Brian was not a follower of the goddess of magic, but was so obsessed with stopping this dark ritual, Seth deduced that his goal was definitely this complete set of scrolls.

Of course, He will definitely not tell the other party the truth about this matter.

On the contrary, he still wanted to see what Brian's helpless expression looked like when he witnessed the second set of golden scrolls being destroyed in front of him.

Presumably that must be very exciting, and the only complete golden scroll in the world of Toril will completely disappear.

And the recipient of the third set of scrolls is the machine empire Imaskar, which was destroyed long before Netheril. This is why Seth would first think of it when Brian mentioned the seven artifacts of Imasca. golden scroll.

Although in ancient times, for a long period of time, Seth fell into a deep sleep for a long time due to the successive demise of the three great empires of the Sarukh witches, resulting in his own divine power being greatly weakened, but after he woke up, only With a simple exercise of divine power, one can easily understand the history that He missed.

This let him know that as early as when the Netherilians were seven small fishing villages with pitchforks fighting each other for coastal territory, the Imaskars had mastered one of the golden scrolls.

The reason why the Imaskars were able to obtain this set of scrolls was mainly because their Artificer enslaved Felin Mokui.

At that time, Felin Mokui found out that his former master, the survivor of the spell weaver, had not yet become the god of death, Jaeger, and reported him to the Imasca people in order to kill people with a knife.

Then the Imaskars took advantage of Felin Mokui's powerful perception of the golden scroll, and began to hunt down Jaeger who was holding the scroll.

When Jaeger realized that the Imascars had tracked him through the golden scroll, he discarded one of them without hesitation, which made them obtain it by accident.

Although this set of scrolls was also destroyed with the destruction of Imasca, the powerful artificers of Imasca made the seven artifacts of Imasca by studying the scrolls.

These seven artifacts all have independent personalities.

They hold all the knowledge of the artificer lords of the Empire, and can answer questions about Imaskar customs, politics, magic, and more.

As long as one obtains the Imaskar Seven Artifacts, one can virtually obtain all the knowledge recorded in the golden scroll.

It's no wonder that Brian is interested in the Imaskar Seven Artifacts.

'Since he is so interested in these artifacts, why don't I use this opportunity to let him help me deal with Mulhorand's pantheon. '

In an instant, a plan was brewing in Seth's mind.

After all, I am afraid that no one knows the history of Imasca better than him.

At the beginning, in order to deal with the Mulhorand pantheon and recapture the evil god Seth who took away his divine power and followers, Seth put a lot of effort into the research of Mulhorand.

Because of this, he indirectly learned about the mechanical empire Imasca, which was replaced by the Mulhorand god system.

This made him can't help but recall the thousands of years of human civilization from its origin to its destruction, which was once comparable to an arcane empire.

About 8350 years ago, a small Dupa tribe that split off migrated to the northeast and finally settled in the fertile basin of the Luoyan Plateau.

This is the original Imascan people.

Then during the time of Nemurat (-8350 to -7975) - the name comes from the civilization's first war leader - the Imaskars lived in tribes ruled by chieftains and noble warriors.

During this period, the development of agriculture led to a rapid population growth and the establishment of many farms on the plateau.

Marked by Ujatin's title of King of Artificers and Emperor, the early Imasca Dynasty was on the right track (-7975 to -6422), and the imperial capital of Inoplas City was also here built during.

The main sign of this era is the mastery of space magic by the Imaskar elite.

Artificers used this knowledge to create an intricate web of portals that allowed them to span infinite distances in the blink of an eye.

These permanent two-way portals are constructed as a ring of magnificent bronze pinnacles, each etched with an intricate runic pattern said to have originated from the Bacchis.

These Bukhara minarets allowed entire legions to be teleported quickly from one area to another, allowing the Imaskar Empire to rapidly expand throughout eastern Faerûn.

By the end of the early dynasty, the empire's borders had stretched from the Great Ice Sea to the Golden Water Bay, from the Alambone Sea to the Katakoro Plateau in Karatu.

The empire, which was still in its infancy, first encountered the kobold tribes of the Kingdom of Zeksandrin, followed by the Krobkoru dwarves of Shannara.

Later wars included the conquest of the nomadic peoples of the Taangan steppes, and the annexation of Kadi, Dupa, and Urghaz.

Imaskar's first military defeat occurred in -6788DR, when the western outpost of the empire in the Elipa Forest was besieged by forest earth dragons, followed by a peasant rebellion in the city of Laudo in -6779DR, But it was quickly suppressed.

In -6422 DR, the imperial capital of Innopulas was razed to the ground by rampaging squid-headed trolls, forcing the Imaskars to abandon their ancient capital.

How these demons entered the city is unknown, but it is generally blamed on the cult of Demogorgondi, the demon lord of the Abyss, as the squid-headed trolls first swarmed from the Temple of the Gap in the center of the city.

The anarchy that ensued split the empire into Upper Imasca and Lower Imasca, thus beginning the Middle Dynasty (-6422 to -4370).

The people of Lower Imaskar established the city of Sauron as their new capital, and the ruling Qi

Machinists exercise tight control over society.

The center of power in Upper Imaskar was the capital city of Sakos (now Sekoy), a city nestled in the Katakro Mountains.

In -4370 DR, a devastating plague severely weakened the Lower Imaskar, beginning the Age of Shatra (-4370 to -3920), a word that means 'darkness' in the Imaskar language.

Sick commoners flocked to temples scattered across the empire, but their priests were helpless against the plague.

To make matters worse, a mysterious blight killed most of the crops, leaving the few who survived the plague to face the threat of famine again.

This massive shock, known as the silent death, was catastrophic, killing 15%-20% of the population even in the least affected areas.

It was only because their enemies were equally weak and hapless that the desperate and isolated people of Lower Imaskar survived for the next ten years.

In misery and resentment, the Lower Imaskars abandoned their gods, and most priests were killed or exiled.

While the Plague of Silent Death did spread northward into what is now known as the Endless Wastes, Upper Imaskar was unharmed and untouched.

Because of the dwindling population and the difficulty of rebuilding, the Artificer Lord Kotan ordered the construction of two new Bukhara Minarets, twin portals to another world whose natives could not use the Arcane Arts.

Over the next four centuries, the Imaskar abducted tens of thousands of its inhabitants from this world and brought them back to Faerûn to serve as slaves.

The influx of massive slave labor restored productivity and social prosperity in Lower Imaskar.

Eventually, the slaves began to intermarry with the Imasca, thus giving birth to a new race called the 'Mulans'.

Upper Imasca and Lower Imasca were finally reunited under the tyrannical power of the artificer king Omanod, and the rebuilt Inoplas city became the only capital of the empire, which marked the end of the last dynasty (- 3920 to -2488).

Under the orders of Omanod, the Artificers created the Imaskar Seven - seven great artifacts that preserved the Imperium's infinite magical knowledge for eternity.

Among the elite mages of Imasca, the leading ones are Madlock and Hilasser, who also reached the peak of power during this period.

3000 years before Netheril 'discovered' the Shadow Plane, Madroc the Ebonflame had been busy codifying the plane's dark secrets.

It was on this plane that Madloch created the Shadow Stone and began his plot to overthrow Omanoder and capture Imaskar.

Fortunately for the empire.

The young genius Sylather confronted Madelok in the frontier fortress of Metus, and finally bound the Lord of Shadows to the Imprisonment Plane.

In -2488 DR, the Imaskar civilization came to an end in extreme violence.

Unbeknownst to the Imaskars, the gods of the Murans finally heard the prayers of their people.

With the acquiescence of the god Io, these gods bypassed the plane barrier of the crystal wall system and sent their own powerful saints to enter the world of Toril through the endless void.

Once they reached the peaks of Taila Shan, now known as the Gods' Watch Mountains, the powers descended swiftly on the Fallen Plateau, raising an army and fomenting rebellion along the way.

Within a few days, most of the major cities of the Empire were looted.

Yuvalaj, the Artificer King, and Horus, the Muran god, fought a final battle on the steps of the imperial capital Enolas' palace, and the latter emerged victorious.

In the end, the artificers of Imaskar were defeated, their country was subjugated, and their homes were also occupied by the people of the Mulhorand pantheon.

Looking at the history of the Imascar Empire, we can see the reasons for their demise.

This also means that if Brian wants to find the Imaskar Seven Artifacts, he must start with Mulhorand.

Seth's eyes gradually became wise and shrewd.

He didn't expect that he was still disheartened by the failure of the plan he planned thousands of years ago, and he found a new hope of recovering his divine power so soon.

Regarding the disappearance of the seven Imasca artifacts, he did know some of them, and he also knew with certainty that at least two of the artifacts in the news were real.

Most importantly, if you want to obtain one of the artifacts, you must go to the largest and oldest city in Mulhorand, Skadder City.

This capital, known as the 'City of the Gods', has the largest temple of the Mulhorand pantheon, and the scepter, the fifth secret weapon of Imasca, is stored in the temple.

As long as he makes a secret plan and uses Brian's desire for the seven Imasca artifacts, it is really possible to regain the power that the evil god Seth stole from him.

Seth nodded secretly, and said calmly with an old voice, "I didn't expect you to attract the attention of the Imasca seven artifacts."

He pretended to ponder for a moment, as if weighing the words in his heart, and then said, "No problem, I can tell you about the traces of these artifacts. As for how to obtain them, that's up to you."

Regarding Seth's answer, Brian looked calm and did not see any changes, but secretly nodded inwardly.

Just as he expected, Seth couldn't help jumping out just by mentioning the Imasca artifact.

How could he not know what the other party was up to.

Otherwise, I wouldn't ask this question.
