Acolytes of Umbra
Mages devoted to Umbra: powerful even as free mortals, and stronger still in the darkness's service.
- Between the Ages
- Dark Times
Description
The Acolytes of Umbra are mages sworn to the darkness. Even as free mortals they were powerful, Aurelius noted, and their devotion to Umbra makes them stronger still. Some wield fire, an unwise choice in the rain of Storm Eye Lake, but the element of light seems to elude them all.
Historical context
Before the Gloaming Abigail had acolytes of her own, and they figured in her preparations for the ritual. In the Dark Times Acolytes stood guard over the element cores of the Primeweald, and statues of their kind watched over the necropolis beneath Twilight Peak, where Aurelius shuddered at the thought of an army of Acolytes raised from the graves. Abigail herself told the stranger they would make a fine Acolyte.
