    Me and my friend are convinced that Umbra’s true power is utter replacement. The ability to completely take over it’s weilder, and the uncanny disappearance of its wielders mentions in history, make me think it literally replaces you, physically, metaphysically, and everything in between. So in my opinion
    Umbra is a sentient Soul Gem

      Why don't you just git gud and stop being a Daedric Princes bitch? That's why the Dwemer disappeared. They were like 'fuck this, this is stupid. We're all going to invent our own pocket dimension where we can focus on nuclear bombs and actual technology that these elder scroll bad guys have no clue what to do with. They were like the anti-"fantasy forever" race. "You dumb peasant farmer bastards keep dying of old age at 20, we're going to go invent the internet."

    AE Build idea: Umbral Knight. An argonian spellsword that focuses on conjuration, shock destruction magic, heavy armor, and two-handed. They revere the Umbrielic Hist at Sleeping Tree Camp, using Umbra to harvest souls in order to strengthen the tree. These souls they can call on to aid them in battle in many forms of undead.

My main thing is wanting to write a good reason for him to be in morrowing the heartlands and skyrim without him being "a chosen one", hes definitely more of a freelance explorer, finding caves for mining company's or scouting out bandit camps for the empire and its associates

    Mr. Drew, I will admit, I knew only a part of Umbra's story. Your telling of it has clarified the parts I did not know and, for that, I am grateful. It is quite frightening to think a sword possesses sentience and can corrupt the very being of a mortal. However, it is quite a tale and I am happy that you told it so well and so clearly. Too bad for Clavicus Vile, though, poor prince cannot admit his failure in containing what seems like a piece of metal, yes? LOL Thank you, kind Sir.

But really, an ancient evil black runed blade form from the stuff of chaos that is a sentient entity that demands to drink the souls of the slain, needs a host, forms a "symbiotic relationship" with that host sharing the stolen life essence of victims, and ends up being a parasite/corruptor/destroyer of it's host? Add on to that Clavicus Vile's penchant dooming his champions to slay their love ones. Yeah, definitely inspired.
