Umbrenor

Description: A continent of deep forests, mist-laden valleys, and mysterious ecosystems. Umbrenor is heavily influenced by Alagorian’s Night, often shrouded in a twilight haze. The Sundering left this land covered in a permanent mist, fostering strange flora and fauna adapted to the darker cycles.   Key Landmarks: The Moonshade Vale Located near the continent’s center, this vale was once blessed by lunar energies but now lies in shadow. Its reflective pools, blackened by the Great Darkening, are said to hide the Nightstone, an artifact tied to restoring balance.   The Eternal Gardens of Drassil These once-beautiful gardens are now overgrown with shadow vines, and certain plants here glow only under moonlight. The gardens represent the lingering touch of Alagorian’s magic, making it dangerous to wander at night.     Notable Features on the Map: Dense forests cover much of Umbrenor, with winding rivers and inland lakes adding to its mystical, misty atmosphere.   Population: Approximately 8 million   Economy Size: Moderate; Umbrenor’s economy is specialized and relies heavily on rare resources that require specific skills and knowledge to handle, such as shadow-infused plants and minerals.   Primary Economic Resources:   Alchemy and Rare Herbs: Umbrenor is famous for its rare herbs and alchemical ingredients harvested from shadowy forests and misty valleys.   Shadow Crystals: Unique to Umbrenor, these crystals are used in illusion magic and as components in powerful wards and protection spells.   Lunar Artifacts: Moonshade Vale and other sacred sites attract scholars and followers of lunar deities, providing a steady income from religious and magical tourism.   Rivals:   Selendral: Umbrenor sees Selendral’s arcane advancements and magical exclusivity as a threat, leading to competition for influence over the mystical and scholarly communities on Elaris.   Allies:   Solaris: Umbrenor relies on Solaris for agricultural imports and trades their alchemical goods in return, strengthening their economy and cultural ties.   Drakora: An alliance built on mutual benefit, as Umbrenor supplies Drakora with alchemical resources for their warriors, while Drakora provides rare minerals and volcanic resources.   On the map, Umbrenor is the large landmass on the lower left side, distinguished by its forested regions, rivers, and mist-covered valleys.   Capital City: Nighthaven – Positioned deep within the forested regions in the central area, surrounded by mist and close to sacred sites.   Major Cities:   Shadowmire – Located near The Eternal Gardens of Drassil in the southern forest, known for its mystical flora.   Mistgrove – A coastal city on the northeast side, bordered by misty woodlands and river access.   Fellshade – Found near the southwestern coast, with hidden paths and a network of shadowed alleys for guilds of spies.   Darkbloom – Positioned centrally, close to The Moonshade Vale, ideal for ceremonies under moonlight.   Obsidian Hollow – A mining city located in the northern mountainous region, extracting rare minerals.   Minor Cities:   Duskmire, Shadegrove, Blackwood, Gloaming Hill, Nightshade, Murkmire, Ghostwillow, Ebonwell, Deep Hollow, Shroudfield   Notable Landmarks:   Moonshade Vale – Located in the central part of the continent, near Darkbloom.   Eternal Gardens of Drassil – Situated in the southern region, near Shadowmire.   Description: The continent of perpetual twilight, Umbrenor was a lush, temperate forested region before the Sundering.
