Umbriel is a floating city.

Notable Places

• Bolster Midden - The midden with the "richest scent" of the four Lower Middens; one of the places where the refuse of Umbriel is sent.
• Fringe Gyre - A region on a cliff on the outside edge of Umbriel, wrapping around it. It is filled with trees that seem to be related to The Hist, including one especially tall one. The trees produce what Umbriel needs, such as different types of fruit and even things like iron. Tree-tenders take care of the trees and harvest these plants.
• Ghol Manor - One of the manors of Umbriel, served by Qijne's kitchen. Lord Ghol is known to dislike boring food.
• Glass Forest - The "glass forest" is the name that Sul and Attrebus gave to a webbing of a glasslike material found at the top of the city. The glass tubules can be controlled making them move or immobilize an enemy.
• Kitchens - The Kitchens (called "vehrumasas" in Umbrielic) are where food is made for the lords and ladies of Umbriel. The lower kitchens make food for the minor lords, who have more earthly palates, while the upper kitchens work for higher lords, who require food made of spiritual essences. Qijne's kitchen, which is one of the lower part, mainly has walls lined with ovens, with the center of the room containing pits of hot stone, counters and cabinets, and cages and baskets hanging from chains from the ceiling. One end has tables for more delicate work. Toel's kitchen, by contrast, only has one pit and oven, but plenty of red granite countertops with alchemy apparatuses, and is mostly dedicated to preparing soul essences - both for the lords of Umbriel and for the trees of the Fringe Gyre.
• Lower Middens - The Lower Middens are essentially a gigantic trash room, where the refuse from the kitchens that doesn't wind up in the sump goes and is eaten and digested by worms, likely before being used for some other function.

History

Third Century of the Fourth Era

As of 4E 201 Sleeping Tree, a strange leafless tree was found in Whiterun Hold in Skyrim. Several legends exist on the origins of the Tree. Some say that a piece of rock was blasted from Red Mountain during the Red Year and landed in Skyrim, and the Tree grew from the resulting crater. Others, however, say that it grew from a spore that fell from a "floating island", referring to Umbriel, in which case the Tree is one of the Hist of Umbriel. It was the source of a legal drug known as the Sleeping Tree Sap.

Creatures

• Annaline - Annalines are creatures from the Sump on Umbriel that get used as an ingredient in its kitchens.
• Bladefish - A type of fish found in the sump of Umbriel.
• Carrion Scorp
• Chest Borer
• Dash Clam
• Hob - Hobs are hairless monkey-like creatures used as assistants to the chefs on Umbriel. They are long-limbed, have very long, thin, delicate fingers, a huge toothless mouth and large green eyes in a goblinesque face, and very simple language skills.
