Umbrea

Umbrea is plagued by a war between the deities of sky and sea. The resulting storm has been raging ceaselessly for decades (around 50 years), but many living still remember a time before the sea of endless storm.

The main continent stretches around the ocean (known as the Umber Sea) in a sort of horseshoe. Some areas have experienced periods of drought as a result of the sky focusing its energies on the sea. Though the sea was not always storming, it has always been sunless.

Stormrunners brave the tempest in order to deliver cargo via ship.
