Inupras

Inupras was the capital of the Imaskari Empire between and , and again between and . It housed the Palace of the Purple Emperor, the residence of the Lord Artificer of Imaskar.
==Geography==
At the time of its construction, Inupras stood on a plain. However, after −2488 DR, the surrounding region had become the Raurin Desert.
==Defenses==
While the Imperial City was razed in −2488 DR, the Palace of the Purple Emperor survived the battles, most likely because of powerful wards.
Imaskari cities were often built of a purple stone from the Raurin mountains, which was naturally extremely resilient. The Imaskari artificers were known for their use of portals and extradimensional spaces, which were a common means of transportation in their cities, as well as tactically exploited.
==History==
Inupras was established as the capital of the Imaskari Empire by Lord Umyatin when he ascended to the throne as Lord Artificer in −7975 DR, and it continued to be the capital until −6422 DR, when it was razed by rampaging krakentuas that emerged from the Temple of the Gaping Maw in the middle of the city; because of the location, public opinion blamed the Cult of Demogorgon. This event would precipitate the split into Upper and Lower Imaskar.
It was refounded by Lord Omanond in −3920 DR during the reunification of Upper and Lower Imaskar, which prompted the Late period of the empire. It remained the capital until −2488 DR, when it was destroyed during the fight between the Imaskari artificers and the gods of the Mulan.
