Umbrans

Umbrans are a fictional species originating from the Shadowfell, a plane of existence associated with darkness, gloom, and the undead. They are often depicted as humanoid beings with skin that ranges in color from deep grey to black, and eyes that glow with a faint, unnatural light. Their physical forms are typically gaunt and gaunt, reflecting their connection to the Shadowfell's bleak environment.

The lore surrounding umbrans frequently describes them as having an innate connection to shadows and darkness. This connection can manifest in various ways, such as the ability to move unseen within dim light, manipulate shadows, or draw strength from dark energies. Some accounts suggest umbrans are not born in the traditional sense but rather coalesced from the ambient gloom of the Shadowfell, or are the result of mortals corrupted by its influence.

Umbrans are often portrayed as solitary or living in small, secretive communities within the Shadowfell or in dark places on other planes. Their motivations can vary, but they are commonly depicted as being driven by a desire to spread the Shadowfell's gloom, to escape its oppressive nature, or to simply survive in their harsh environment. Their alignment tends towards evil or neutral, reflecting the grim and often predatory nature of their home plane. Encounters with umbrans are typically viewed with caution by other races, as their presence is often associated with ill omens and danger.
