Umbrians (Elves of Westermor)

The Umbrians are a wild, wicked people who sail from the distant continent of Westermor to raid the unaware or even heavily armed ships that ply the Golden Gulf. Their long lithe bodies and pointy ears are as distinctive as their agile swords and accurate archery. They have long sold their souls to the Elementals who give their warlocks power in return for feeding them human souls.

The Umbrians view themselves as nothing more than truly free spirits who indulge their whims and live in harmony with the natural order, rejecting the dictates and false order of the Holy Divine. They instead turn to the Old Gods, the spirits of plants and animals, who answer their prayers and bring blight and pestilence upon the people of the Caliphate.

Few humans have lived to tell of their encounters with the Umbrians and they are literally the stuff of children's stories and coffee house gossip. Once in a while, an Umbrian sword or wand finds its way into the bazaars and there is ferocious bidding for the forbidden artefact imbued with dark magics.
