Umbral Sands

Umbral Sands is a desert region of Dragonwilds:Ashenfall, ruled by the red dragon Dragonwilds:Fuzan. Its sun burns so fiercely that the player suffers Dragonwilds:Scorch in direct light and must build shelter or keep to the shade by day, while by night Fuzan and his red dragons take to the hunt. To cross the open sands the player can summon a magic carpet, which can be earned after earning the trust of a garou tribe. The Dragonwilds:KotHaar and kalphites make their home here, along with vultures, alongside three Moon Garou clans that are far less hostile than the garou tribes elsewhere on the continent. Dragonwilds:Icthlarin can be found at the Alcarrid Oasis. Adamantite and yew are gathered across the desert, and the region holds the materials needed for Dragonwilds:Adamant equipment, red dragonhide armour, and Dragonwilds:Infinity Robes.Template:CiteText

To reach Umbral Sands, the player must first complete the Black Knight's Fortress quest, which opens the Door to Umbral Sands within Dragonwilds:the Bastion.

History

Since the creation of Dragonwilds:Gielinor, Umbral Sands was an empty region inhabited only by the Dragonwilds:KotHaar, who had been tasked with safeguarding a powerful device used by the Dragonwilds:Elder Gods, the Dragonwilds:Lens. The device ensured the sun gave off a temperature that let the world thrive rather than burn.Template:CiteText The KotHaar were also given a tunnel system so that they might return to the Template:RSL on Karamjah and be reborn when needed.Template:CiteJournal The desert at the time was far greener, with grass and other flora. Shortly after Dragonwilds:Guthix departed from Ashenfall and sealed it within a veil, a group of dragonkin known as the Dragonwilds:Cabal arrived and, over time, spread through the different regions. Dragonwilds:Avisk kept one of his many laboratories here, experimenting on the kalphites he had brought from the mainland to study, fascinated by their hive mind.Template:CiteText

Sometime during the Template:RSL, shortly after Dragonwilds:Lougrim's defeat by Dragonwilds:Kuldra during the Dragonwilds:Dragon Rebellion, a faction of the garou split off and wandered towards Umbral Sands, where they struggled to adjust to the sandy region. There they discovered Dragonwilds:Elidinis, a river goddess associated with the moon. A lost garou cub found her at a previously unmapped oasis, she gave it water and comfort.Template:CiteText Looking upon these poor mortals, the goddess taught them how to live within the desert, showing them how to build, plant, and place mirrors to guard against supernatural threats.Template:CiteNPC Over time the garou raised great cities and became known as the Moon Garou. Once they could thrive without her, Elidinis left Gielinor for the stars. Sometime after her departure, Fuzan found the Moon Garou and began to terrorise them.

Eventually a new entity appeared, the "Dragonwilds:Sun Demon", also known as the Dragonwilds:Queen of Ashes. She came before Fuzan, claiming to be a god and promising to teach him to wield his fire well enough to outshine even his mother.Template:CiteJournalTemplate:CiteJournal Fuzan accepted, and with her teaching he learned to control not only his own flames but those of the KotHaar, turning the magma that animated them against their nature.Template:CiteJournal He also broke the tunnels by which they had once returned to the Elder Kiln, cutting them off from rebirth.Template:CiteJournal Though puppeted, the KotHaar never forgot their charge, and still turn toward the Lens they were made to protect.Template:CiteJournal Fuzan used this power to torment the Moon Garou, razing the cities they had raised and scattering the survivors into far-flung tribes so that no single hunt could take them all.Template:CiteText Rather than destroy the remnant outright, he branded them with his Mark, which drew on their strength to feed his own. Those who bore it were spared his fire, but the dying were compelled to walk out into the sands as an offering.Template:CiteTextTemplate:CiteText The Sun Demon, meanwhile, recruited followers of her own, reshaping those who worshipped the sun and its flames into devotees.Template:CiteText The cursed wolf Dragonwilds:Dearg Due also came to roam the desert in this age. Fuzan ordered the KotHaar to move the Lens to his tower, where he used it to cast a barrier over the entrance and to raise the region's temperature.Template:CiteText Soon the region became impossible to cross without the heat killing those who dared, and any who braved it by night would find Fuzan hunting with one or two red dragons.Template:CiteText

After the God Wars, Fuzan continued to rule until the Dragonwilds:Sixth Age, when the veil over Ashenfall lifted. The Adventurer, having braved Dragonwilds:Brynmoor, Dragonwilds:Ghornfell, Dragonwilds:Fellhollow, and Dragonwilds:Dowdun Reach, arrives in Umbral Sands, and with the help of Dragonwilds:Icthlarin puts an end to Fuzan's reign.Template:CiteNPC

Geography

Umbral Sands is made up of several subregions.

Dragonwilds:Alcarrid Oasis

In the north of the region, the Alcarrid Oasis is the first area the Adventurer reaches from Dowdun Reach. It is home to the Alcarrid clan, the youngest of the region's three Moon Garou clans, and to Dragonwilds:Icthlarin.

Dragonwilds:Dunes of Uzzer

To the north-east lie the Dunes of Uzzer, home to the Uzzer clan, who are known for their weaving and teach their children to work patterns into tapestries together.Template:CiteText The archaeologist Lehran studies the Forbidden Scrolls here, piecing together the true history of the Moon Garou.

Dragonwilds:Manafem Plains

To the west, the Manafem Plains are home to the Manafem clan, whose people seldom brave the open dunes. By day the Scorch makes travel deadly, and by night they are hunted by a red dragon called The Radiant, which destroys their caravans and preys on travellers.Template:CiteTextTemplate:CiteJournal

Dragonwilds:The Burning Spire

In the south stands the Burning Spire, Fuzan's volcano and the seat of his power, where the corrupted Dragonwilds:Lens is kept. Within it lies the Cave of Screams, where the KotHaar are forged and bound in thrall to Fuzan.Template:CiteJournal

Trivia

  • Like the Template:RSL on the mainland, Umbral Sands was once far more verdant than it is today. The two were desertified by different causes, however, the Kharidian Desert by Template:RSL's self-destruction and Umbral Sands by Fuzan's corruption of the Lens.
