Team Umber

Working for a better night.

### Location

Team Umber mostly acts and resides on the dark and sinister island of Schwald, as it is the location of most supernatural activity that is relate to the teams goals.

#### Umber Castle

Umber Castle is located on the island of Schwald, between the autumnal forest and the darker, more ominous areas of the island. Currently the castle is being built on the ruins of a much older fortress. The appearance of the castle itself is currently only a few floors, but it contains a gothic aesthetic that fits the area around it. The building is located next to the base of a mountain, the ruins of the previous building are scattered up the mountain side, the forest is dense around the castle so shadows are quite thick. The opening area of the castle such as the courtyard (which is still in ruins) is open for visitors, however the castle itself is where Team Umber resides and where they plan and carry their actions to protect the world from supernatural threats.

Umber Castle contains several rooms that are used for either training Pokémon or for the members of the team to rest after a hard days work. The Dormitory of the Castle is Co-Ed and many of the members of the team have taken to bunking in rooms together such as Clarissa and Zenith.

The location of the base was discovered by Tommy after a weeks walk into Schwald's woods. He found the ruins of the previous castle unattended, but quickly found the grounds to be haunted by a undead Tyrantrum that was being controlled by a Doublade. This threat pinned the team's leader in a tight spot. If it was not for the team's mascot, Gremlin the Rotom, Tommy would have been stuck at the ruins with no way to escape. The Rotom let out a distress call to the members of Team Umber who gathered allies to go help Tommy and defeat the evil spirit haunting the grounds.

The Skull of the Tyrantrum now hangs in the main hall of the castle, the Doublade stuck in the skulls head. The Doublade talks to those who pass by spouting haughty and uptight behaviors. It uses the skull as a catalyst to speak, talking about how one day it will escape from the ornamental prison the team has placed it in as a decoration to their victory.

Spiritombs that are owned by members of the Team wander the halls acting as sentries to protect the castle from threats. The provide both as guards and as cameras for the Team, as many of the people in the group do not have proficiency using technology. There are plans in the future to learn how to use Spiritombs power to move through Odd Keystones to learn teleportation magic of the many witches who work among the team. The process has yet to begin, but their are hopes this will better allow Team Umber to travel to other islands quickly to assist in problems.

Pokémon such as Rotoms and Porygon manage alerts that the Team gets from a central computer set up deeper in the castle by the Pokémon, they travel the internet and radio signals to alert Team Umber of threats and events that happen across Kairos. These Pokémon then tell their trainers about the events through a network that Gremlin had set up when Tommy was in danger.

Cleanse Tags have been place on some walls of the castle to prevent dangers that the team has deemed "Too much to handle right now!" outside of the livable area of the castle. This has caused some alarm to our undead denizens but we have allowed special passage ways for them to pass through safely.

Recently a communal storage room was built where members of the team can drop off unwanted items that they believe would be better for everyone else to use or materials they wish to donate such as fossils, cleanse tags, evolution stones, or weapons. A sign hangs the door to the room that says "Take Something, Leave Something."

### Goals

The goals of Team Umber are to defend the world from supernatural threats that cannot be handled by normal trainers. Be this by battling or exorcisms. Team Umber strives to make a world where it is safe for people to wander the street at night, safe from malicious ghost or monsters, evil trainers, or any horror from beyond our world. Team Umber also works to protect friendly spirits who have yet to pass on, saving them from those who would harm them. The process for their work usually means using supernatural powers or magic.

### Artifacts in Team Umber's Care:

#### The Mirror of Jewels:

A mirror containing a Sableye named Jewels who is trapped within. Those who walk into the mirror are transported to a demiplane within the mirror's reflection. Those who step into the mirror's demiplane appear to turn into Pokémon until they return. Attempts to get Jewels out by force have failed. The object was found by Nedri and other members of Team Umber during a quest. Unable to release the Jewels from her prison, the group decided to bring the Mirror back to Umber Castle so that people may interact with her more often in the hopes of finding a way to free her. Currently the Team has plans to conduct further research into the occult so that one day Jewels can be set free.
