Umbral Shroud

"Whisper scream
Squirm while still
Die alone
Eat its fill."
~Maecodian children's rhyme.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Made from the shadowflesh of lost souls, the shroud is more a thing of spirit and ether than it is of the world.  While individually weak and nearly useless, the wretched animus that make up the garment are uncountable and provide near infinite power. They have been flayed in such a way as to make their meager individual power available to the wearer in masse. Only light weakens them, burning them and increasing their torment as the oblivion they crave continues to fail to reach them.

Raw materials & Components

Threads of spite and hatred connect the souls together. The souls themselves are the psychic remnant of someone who has died utterly without hope and have brought harm to others in the vain, wasted quest for their own failed agendas.
Ironically, this means a fair number of the souls are failed cells of Umbrals.
