The Lore

Umbra's Universe

Umbra’s setting is neither pure fantasy nor strict reality. Instead, it’s a dim borderland where moral lines blur and illusions can shape fate. Shadows are tangible forces, guiding those who embrace them or consuming the unprepared.

Within this semi-real realm:

  • Shadows Manifest: They can whisper clues or distort illusions, reflecting Umbra’s will.

  • Ethereal Boundaries: The night divides known truths from hidden insights.

  • Perpetual Twilights: Dawn and dusk linger, symbolizing the constant tension between moral extremes.

Key Theme & Antihero Philosophy

Umbra stands as a figure who commits dark acts for what he perceives as a greater good. The central themes:

  • Moral Ambiguity: Outcomes can justify methods, or so Umbra believes. He treads ethically gray ground.

  • Shadows as Truth: Umbra contends that illusions thrive in bright certainties; only by stepping into gloom can one reveal hidden realities.

  • At Odds with Convention: As an antihero, Umbra spurns typical heroism. He might harm or manipulate to save the greater whole.
