## Background

### The War Era

The Umbra was a very violent pack during this era, contributing to much of the bloodshed, and flourishing in this "era of death." Their main rival during this was era was the wolves that would later become the Ignis Pack, and that tension still carries on to the present era. The Umbra Pack did not cease their combat until the Founder King threatened them, and realizing that they were vastly outnumbered, they knew that resistance was futile, and soon surrendered. Once they reluctantly stopped their fighting, they were given their of the elemental crystal, the *Flame of the Underworld.* This crystal gifted all Umbra wolves their shadow abilities, though the pack itself retreated to the northwest corner of the kingdom, where they currently reside in the present day. At the time, they had their first alpha, who is referred to as the Vorlagia Alpha.

### The Current Era

For the most part, The Umbra pack still keep themselves isolated in their part of the kingdom, and are usually only heard from when the Lucis call on them. In almost all cases, they refuse visitors from other territories and do not allow their own to venture into other parts of the kingdom. The wolves are very hostile towards any visitor that enters the territory. They do not allow any Unbound or other elemental wolves into the Primaer location, or the Crystal Caverns. The alpha of this time period is Tushima.

## Territory

* **Finsternis Mountains** (translation meaning "Mountains of Darkness") are mountains clustered in the middle of the Umbra Territory. At the base of these mountains, to the east, is where the **Primaer Location** resides, and a few miles to the north of this location is the **Crystal Caverns,** where a cave leads into the mountain. At the end of this cave is a large, open room with many different precious and beautiful crystals, as well as a lake with perfectly clear water.
* **The Schatten River** (translation for this meaning "The Shadow RIver") is a river with a consistently cool temperature regardless of the ambient temperature, and it poses no health risks to those that drink from it, and Umbra wolves enjoy swimming in the calm parts of the river during hot days. The river splits into two: the Western Schatten River, and the Northern Schatten River, with the northern section stops right at the crystal caverns, while the western section splits into many small streams.
* **The Haeftin Camps** are camps specifically made for Unbound who cross into Umbra territory. They are stationed near the borders to facilitate travel, and to ensure that the Unbound do not have to go deep into the Umbra Territory. In fact, Unbound are forbidden to leave these camps unless they are traveling to another camp, or leaving the territory, in both instances requiring an Umbra escort. Any Unbound that are outside these camps without permission will be hunted down and killed.
* **The Lake of Shadows,** a large lake on the border of the Umbra-Ignis border, was once well-loved by Umbra wolves, as any Ignis that dared to get close would ultimately meet their demise. Once the Ignis disallowed their own near the Umbra border, their love for the location quickly faded. The only wolves near here are the Haeftin camps and any wolf who dares to get close to the territory border.
* **The Umbra Plains** are sunny plains within the Umbra Territory. The Alpha casts weak wolves and Omegas to this area when she sees fit, where they have to live. It is inhabitable for stronger wolves due to strong connections to the shadows.
