Welcome to Auboria, a small island in the Alsandir known as The Founding Land. Eons ago, on a day the sun shone black, a cataclysmic battle of gods caused a reality-shaking event called The Shattering. In Auboria’s geological center, a great evil was cast into the Solstice Gate, a monument to peace through divine balance and a seal between planes, never to be opened. In reverence to The Shattering, a grand festival is held all throughout Alsandir known as The Day of Umbrum. In present time, Umbrum is seen by all as one of celebration, merriment, and embracement of the odd. Children wear hand-carved masks while the populous enjoys festivities of all sorts, from great food to eerie tales of the paranormal. To most abiding in Alsandir, especially in Aubouria, the Day of Umbrum is of great cultural significance and has been honored for centuries. To some, clinging to the beliefs of ancient generations, claim Umbrum to be the source of the supernatural - cosmic anomalies and beings unknown by man spawned from outer realms. They see Umbrum as a symbol of the god’s will - a grave reminder of what evils lie beneath… a premonition of what shall befall upon the land should the Solstice Gate open once more.
