The Army of the Unlit
Abigail's host of Umbra-claimed soldiers, which overran the Primeweald and raised crude works over the ruins of the elven lands.
- Dark Times
Description
The army of the Unlit is the host that serves Abigail and Umbra. Abigail calls them her people; Aurelius calls them drones and slaves of Umbra. They are builders as well as fighters, raising crude wooden constructions over collapsed elven stonework, digging in the swamps and stringing walkways along the towers of Storm Eye Lake. Aurelius thought their work had no finesse, and hoped a few of them had fallen from walkways that ignored every safety regulation.
Historical context
Since the Gloaming the army has spread across the Primeweald, from its burned ravines to the tower of Storm Eye Lake, fighting alongside the Acolytes of Umbra and building far more than anyone expected on the way to the mountain. It made its last stand in the Rend beneath Sun's Cradle.
