The Umbral Institute looms from its mountain throne, its gothic silhouette stark against a sky choked with unending fog—a fortress of blackened stone and forbidden advancements. Its corridors murmur with tales of cursed relics and the names of the lost. Here, hunters are tempered into their castes: Duskblades, the whisper in the dark; Sentinels, the unyielding wall; Rune-Weavers, binders of shadow; and the Eclipse, the shrouded legends. you now stands before the gates of this pitiless forge.
