The Umbranoids
----------------------------------------------------------

The massive meteorite that devastated Hadesheim and reshaped the world in 2009 also rendered the Umbranoid villages and their surroundings uninhabitable. Beneath the lands of Eudoria, concealed from the eyes of the Entropians, lies a secret, nestled even deeper than the cyclops depths!! With their homes destroyed and the lands transformed into a desolate wasteland, the Umbranoids found refuge in the ruins of the Hadesheim sewers! Living in the darkness, the Umbranoids adapted to their subterranean existence, honing their combat skills and changing their diet, expanded their domain further below, and established a thriving community in the darkness.

Among their possessions were small mysterious black orbs, originally entrusted to them for safekeeping at the same time the big black orbs appeared on Calypso. Secretly, they kept these orbs hidden in their villages. The purpose and power of these orbs remained a captivating mystery, evoking curiosity and speculation among Umbranoids. The hidden black orbs symbolized the mutants' defiance and held the potential to unlock their true abilities.

To navigate the darkness of their underground refuge, the Umbranoids developed specialized lamps known as "Umbral Luminaries." These lamps were crafted using the core of the black orbs they once guarded and emitted an eerie, ethereal glow (comparable to the ethereal armor). They allowed them to illuminate their surroundings without alerting potential adversaries, enabling them to explore deeper than ever before.

During their exploration in the deeper levels, they made a remarkable discovery! In the depths of their underground realm, they mined a new and rare compound they named "Umbraite." Scientists and scholars dedicated themselves to studying this compound, conducting experiments to unravel its true nature. Their efforts paid off when they combined the new Umbraite with the black orbs, leading to the creation of a powerful mixture now known as "Shadow Essence".

The newfound "Shadow Essence" also had a profound impact on the Umbranoids' weaponry. The mysterious material proved to be resilient and malleable, making it ideal for crafting powerful and enigmatic weapons. Blades and whips were forged from the substance of the black orbs, gleaming with an otherworldly sheen and slicing through the air with unparalleled precision. The weapons crackled with dark energy, defying conventional physics and striking with a force that left their targets disoriented and vulnerable. Ranged weapons, infused with the essence of the orbs, unleashed bolts of shadowy energy that engulfed their foes.

The Umbranoids found that the new weapons and items also emitted a subtle energy field that buffed their combat prowess. They experienced heightened reflexes, heightened perception, and a deeper connection to the shadows, granting them the ability to execute lightning-fast strikes and move with effortless agility in battle. These extraordinary Umbranoid weapons, known as "The Shadowforged" quickly gained recognition as coveted artifacts among umbranoids. Their unique properties, stemming from the Umbranoids' connection to the darkness and their mastery of the black orbs' power, made them symbols of both power and intrigue.

Time passed, and the memory of Umbranoids faded into legend. Entropia mourned the loss of the once-proud mutants, unaware that they had survived, hidden beneath the very ground they once walked upon. But destiny works in mysterious ways. A group of RDI explorers, driven by their curiosity and the desire to uncover the secrets of Hadesheim's demise, ventured into the ruins. As they ventured deeper, they uncovered relics from a forgotten time. Among these relics were ancient manuscripts and inscriptions that hinted at the existence of an underground world beneath the ruined city.

Driven by their discoveries, researchers team embarked on a journey to trace the footsteps of the Umbra's. Guided by the clues left behind in the ancient texts, they followed a hidden trail that led them deep underground. Where they finally stumbled upon a giant impenetrable door. The RDI team devoted themselves to deciphering its intricate mechanisms. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months as they meticulously studied and analyzed every detail. With each passing day, their understanding deepened, and their excitement grew....

..... They were on the verge of unraveling the door's secrets.

Your story makes more sense than a lot of what we see ingame (anyone else tired of bots?) there must be more out there in the universe than bots
 
i loved the umbranoids, they where such a great mob
 
I might be wrong but there was an umbra camp at Orthos over the river ?
