An unidentified object or magical effect in Thjazi’s coat that imitated the expected aura of Thimble’s genuine escape glyph.
Before Thjazi reaches the gallows, Azune detects conjuration and illusion magic near the back of his coat and believes the expected escape glyph is present. The genuine glyph is later recovered beside Thimble, proving that the magic detected upon Thjazi came from a different and still-unidentified source. Its purpose, creator and fate remain unknown.
The supposed ward is never directly seen during the execution. Azune detects only its magical aura through the back of Thjazi’s coat.
The detected magic was not Thimble’s genuine glyph. Whether it was a physical object, whether it remained on Thjazi’s body and where it is now are all unknown.

The day of Thjazi Fang’s executionThe Failed Rescue of Thjazi FangA coordinated magical extraction intended to remove Thjazi from the gallows collapsed after Thimble was attacked, Cyd disappeared and a false magical signature appeared upon the prisoner.
The immediate failure is known: Thimble was attacked before delivering the genuine glyph, while a different magical signature was placed on Thjazi.
The survivors establish that Thimble would plant the glyph, Azune would manipulate the inspection, Cyd would position Casimir’s wagon, and Thaisha and Occtis would complete the extraction. The plan failed before its first physical stage because Thimble was attacked before delivering the glyph.
