The shadow that consumes all light
Name: Umbraeth
Role: Primary Antagonist, Shadow Entity
Gender: None
Age: Ageless
A writhing mass of shadow tendrils—formless, vast, pulsing with malice. Hollow yellow eyes glow like cursed stars, its surface rippling with lost faces devoured by darkness, a towering nightmare born of the void.
Malevolent and cunning—Umbraeth’s voice screeches with stolen screams, dripping with mockery and hunger. It weaves doubt with venomous precision, its rage masking a primal fear of light’s defiance.
Health: 1000 | Damage: 50 | Speed: 6 | Resistance: 20
Tendril Lash: Multi-hit strikes (20 damage, 8m)—rends with crushing force.
Umbraeth’s Rage: AOE pulse (30 damage, 10m)—sears with dark waves.
Gruntling Spawn: Summons 5-10 gruntlings—chaos feeds its will.
Born of the Ancients’ hubris, Umbraeth consumed their spires, sealed by Elyra 16 years ago. Its tendrils now fray the Seal of Eternity, birthing the Warden—Aria’s fiery resolve is its final prey, her blood a key to eternal night.
Umbraeth drives the conflict—its taunts test Aria from Spire to Rift, its defeat her redemption, proving Elyra’s sacrifice held purpose as light banishes its shadow.
