Umbrelana

Umbrelana the Dark Dreamer is the Elven goddess of Darkness and Death. She embodies the most fearful aspects of the Darkness.

As a goddess of both Death and Undeath, Umbrelana has what may be thought of as a peculiar outlook on the Necromantic Arts. While she can, and often does, grant the power to create and manipulate the undead, she is equally disposed to grant powers to defeat them once created. To her, the undead are interesting playthings.

During the The Great Strife, Umbrelana took neither side. But she reveled in the abundance of new souls and undead playthings that the Strife brought about. At other times, however, she is often involved in conflict with her twin sieter Aurelana - conflict that often spills over to the devotees of the two Sisters of the Night.

Elves, especially Cave Elves of Chaotic Neutral or any Evil alignment are drawn to Umbrelana. Anyone (Elves and other races) that dabbles in necromancy may also choose to worship her.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Umbrelana's holy symbol is a depiction of the two Crescent Moons partially obscured by a Cloud. Those unfamiliar with the distinction may mistake it for the symbol of a devotee of Aurelana; this usually does not end well.

Tenets of Faith

Edicts
One should never trust the messages delivered in dreams, for dreams are merely self-imposed tortures or temptations.

Anathema
One must never deface or desecrate a tomb. The formal resting places of the dead are sacrosanct - even if the dead choose to leave these places.
One should not fear or avoid pain, since pain brings clarity of thought and strength of resolve.
One should never resort to medications that simply relieve pain. True healing is acceptable, but the masking of pain is denying truth.
Alternate Names
