Umbra, Primeval of Darkness
Lord of Death
When the light was pulled together at the beginning it cast the first shadow. In the darkest pits of this shadow formed Umbra, and it with all of the malice and evil in the world came to be. As Aurora filled the world with its light and life, Umbra sought to snuff it out again. The first living things died, and those who remained became afraid. The darkness held fast to their fear and from its blackest pits emerged the five elder dragon curses. Umbra did not form them, nor unleash them into the unsuspecting world, rather they emerged fully formed from its depths. They seek to consume and dominate the world for themselves, utilizing that primal fear to solidify their powers. They do not view Umbra as their lord or master, wanting to rule in their own names, but the sages argue they serve its darkness nonetheless. Umbra itself does not take physical form, it is the collection of fear, anxiety, and hate of all living things; their rage against their own mortality. We describe a demon dragon made of shadow, but this is seemingly artistic license.
