Any current knowledge on the Imaskari? I remember during 3rd edition there was a big thing about their comeback and leaving Deep Imaskar to return to the surface, but now all seems really quiet and downplayed. Even SCAG only gives a small paragraph. |

Needless to say, I really, really massively hope they make books that detail the rest of Faerun. The Western Heartlands, Dalelands, and the North are in my opinion the most overemphasized regions of FR, and the least that need we need to know more books about. Really especially want new books about the Cold Lands (Narfell, Damara, Impiltur and Sossal), Serpent Kingdoms (Chult, Lapaliiya, Samarach, Thindol, Tashalar), Shining South (Dambrath, Halruaa, Luiren, Great Rift, Shaar, Durpar, Estagund, Var the Golden, Ulgarth), Vilhon Reach (Turmish, Chondath, Ssespech, Free Cities), Old Empires (Chessenta, Unther, Mulhorand, Murghom, Semphar and now possibly Imaskari in the Purple Dust and what bits of Tymanther that remains) and the Unapproachable East (Thay, Aglarond, Thesk and the Great Dale) books. These are really cool areas that haven't really been given much attention whatsoever for decades, and some of them since first edition.
No more "de-desertification". The empire of Shade did it (which I was fine with). Now, the Shaar is being restored by the sundering (which again I'm fine with, since I hated the Shaar as a desert). The plains of purple dust should remain a desert, and not only that a screwy desert plagued with magical ruins.
On the idea of the Imaskari heading south, now that I'd have no problem with. In fact if some of the Imaskari were to head into Zakhara, that would also be of interest. |

As you are probably speaking about 4./5.edition this will be meaningless but in time before spellplague I do not believe that one city of Imaskari would like to summon wrath of Mulhorandi empire as I am sure they will react very fast on their discovery. |

In my realms Deep Imaskari looked around, once their seal was broken, and they will be influencing civil war in Thay. I haven't decided which side they will take but I believe it will not be Szass's. Otherwise they will be secretly trying to get back some property of Imaskari from the Purple Desert but maily not to get noticed by anyone. |

The Imaskari don't have a presence on the Sword Coast or Moonsea so don't expect to hear anything else about them in the near future.
All we've got is the bit from the SCAG which says the survivors of High Imaskar have been pushed east into the desert.
As far as anyone's said, the Deep Imaskari are still in the Underdark, though at last report, Deep Imaskar itself was inside a plagueland. |
