I remember the Orc outside of Suran that was named "Umbra" on Morrowind. He claimed he had fought every possible battle, slain every possible foe, overcame every possible challenge. He said he's been knee deep in blood, swinging umbra in battle. He said he'd seen atrocities, villages burning, and he himself had held the torch. He had beaten everything life had thrown at him, and after all of his journeys he no longer remembered his name - so he and the sword shared the same title. All he wished for was a honorable death.

Player: *laughs maniacally* You simpleton, I command time and space. I command the fabrics of all realities. I have unlimited power, for I wield the ultimate weapons.. I possess console commands and have a shit ton of mods at my disposal.
Yeah the effect was the only reason not to use it. Soul trap is good but not great. Its the coolest sword in Oblivion to be sure. Maybe even the whole series.
Umbra: your soul is mine! Nocturne: sorry, already claimed said soul. Boethia: Err, no? That soul is mine! Hermaus Mora: The Dragonborn is Mine, as are all Dragonborn! Hircine: Stay away from my dog! Sheogorath: Ehh, you all can have him, just make sure he gets cheese.
I mean, I'd feel sad for Umbra were I to pick it up. I think the only entity in the Elder Scrolls lore that could remotely keep up with me, would be Sheogorath... although I am not as cheese-inclined. I'm a lot more of a Jerky kind of guy. I wonder what Argonian Jerky tastes like, perhaps some Khajiit Jerky, I mean it can't be worse than Bosmer Jerky.
I remember being level 1 in Oblivion, finding the cave which is curiously close to the sewers exit, and hopping up on a pillar and just slowly burning the Umbra wielder since she couldn’t climb. Walked out of that cave level 1, full Ebony armor and shield, and Umbra.

Well, the Dragonborn is technically immune to possession as they are another conduit for The Prisoner. (The Elder Scrolls lore behind player control) They cannot be possessed because we are the one who possesses them. We have the power to control, defy, change, shape, or avoid their destiny. There is no entity in the Elder Scrolls that can make us The Prisoner/Hero do something we do not want to do. It's also why we can just throw many daedric artifacts in a box and ignore the Princes. We're a god inhabiting a body to save the world again.
First thing i would do in any oblivion run was running to umbra and hitting her then leading her to the imperial city and having her take out like 30 gaurds before they finally cut her down then taking her gear lol
I can remember rushing even the mudcrabs, just to fill soul gems and keep Umbra's enchantment working. It has, indeed, made me eager to kill anything I saw in sight. Until I discovered the effects of the Reduce Destruction Cost enchantment.
I remember this sword from Oblivion and the first time I fought Umbra she broke all of my weapons and I used about 60+ health potions and she still murdered me. Next time I shot her with an arrow then hauled ass to the Imperial City to which she followed me and I ran in and out of crowds to cause her to hit civilians so that the guards joined in on the fight. 17 civilians and 11 dead guards later, Umbra had finally expired. Talk about a badass
I killed her with the cave traps. But she is such a great way to power level blocking and armor... max difficulty of course... but easier to lvl when on easy. Every fight I've ever had with her basically had both our armors broken. Wish more games has fights like that...
The ship captain in Windhelm that gives you the quest to clear some bandits gives you “a years pay”. It’s so funny when you do the quest early and he gives you a few gold but then you do it again later and he gives you thousands upon thousands
Yes! I used to run there as soon as I could, with a basic bow and arrows, climb up on the rock next to him and just whittle him down. Such a slog but so worth it!
Gotta get the “Lords Mail” too, just lower the difficulty and up it once you defeat the redguard. Or the “auriels bow”, from the dawn or dusk house at the red mountain gate 😊
@@Roboprogs imo Umbra and The Ebony Blade are attempts to recreate Stormbringer (aka The Blade Sword), the sword wielded by Elric and other incarnations of the Eternal Champion, from a series of Novels written by Michael Moorcock. Incidentally, Moorcock is credited with popularizing the theory of the Multiverse.
I'm playing through oblivion and got that sword, so badass. I only use umbra and duskfang/dawnfang. I only wish I didn't have to walk everywhere to get the 12 kills. If you fast travel, you're more than likely going to miss getting the superior version since it's constantly on a timer.
About the whole “not picking up Umbra” thing… Yeah, that dark influence isn’t around anymore. After the Oblivion Crisis, Umbra the entity left the sword. The dark influence is gone, but probably most, if not all, of its power is now gone, especially since Umbra the entity doesn’t really exist anymore. The whole story is really complicated, but to sum it up, Umbra the sword is fairly underwhelming by the time the Dragonborn arrives in Helgen.
@@ShadowIsatis Basically, what happened was that Umbra the entity, when the sword returned to Clavicus Vile’s realm, cut out a chunk of Vile’s power for itself and used it to manifest. Shenanigans ensue, including a merging with some old guy, then something involving a big floating city called Umbriel… It’s kinda crazy. Also, that’s not even the same Umbra sword. The original was a one-handed sword. The one added by the Umbra Creation Club mod is two-handed and actually does 4 less base damage than the version from Oblivion. More than likely, this is more like an “Umbra 1.1” than an “Umbra 2.0.” That being said, this one *probably* has some kind of corrupting influence since Daedra gonna Daedra, but Dragonborns in TES lore are EXTREMELY strong-willed, so that influence isn’t going to be all that effective in the short-term.
@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 Actually, I’ve heard of a mod that’s now out that allows you to not only get the PROPER version of Umbra, but you can allegedly ride the sword LIKE A SKATEBOARD.
Umbra : "Keep killing people nonstop for it is my insatiable bloodlust" Dragonborn: "I do that for fun all day, is there something else you wanna say to me biatch ?"
You must be asking yourself why Bethesda added this specifically later in the game. As to imply the last thing the Dragonborn does before fading to obscurity is pick up this sword as was a similar fate of the hero of kavach before him
The Ebony Warrior is literally my main build character. When I first crossed him, I thought Bethesda just made a copy of my own character for me to defeat.

This sword is so good in oblivion, if you don’t complete the quest, the weapon will always stay in your inventory. Like if you go to jail you still have this bad boy in your inventory 👌
There needs to be a weapon where if you pick it up, the weapon's vengeful former owner follows you and kills you if you hold the weapon. *BUT LOOK AT THE STATS*
In oblivion I carry 2 swords Umbera and Goldbrand. One is for sucking souls and the other is for killing. But what I love about Umbera is the fact you can get it as soon as you exit the sewers.
The Hero of Kvatch: “oh, this thing? The daedric prince it belongs to asked me to get it. I might eventually get around to that, or I’ll follow his dog’s advice and _not_ do that.”
I love the fact that on my first playthrough of Oblivion i cheesed the enemy that had the Umbra Sword and had it super early at the start of the game. I like finding ways to cheese things. And that Umbra Sword was nice
Ah memories…remember ending Oblivion with the Umbra in hand, combined with Azura’s Star, outfitted in all enchanted Deadric armor and wearing TWO rings of perfection…basically one shotting everyone I came across.
Custom enchanted weapons at level 100 are better IMO. *Especially* with some "creative" use of potions. Some guy made an iron dagger that one-shotted Mehrunes Dagon at the end of Oblivion's Main Quest. I think It broke the game because he's supposed to be invincible, but still.

The ship captain in Windhelm that gives you the quest to clear some bandits gives you “a years pay”. It’s so funny when you do the quest early and he gives you a few gold but then you do it again later and he gives you thousands upon thousands
What can I say?
War is good for business.
Inflation
Is that the quest that leads to finding this sword?
He diddnt say which years pay. If it was 2574 or 2575 the difference between a loaded pirate ship being run down and an unloaded one attacking you.
Ebony Blade: finally a worthy opponent
Rule number 1 of living in Tamriel: do not pick up mysterious glowing shit/don’t make deals with daedric princes
Alternatively make deals with all the Princes so they have to fight over who gets your soul
@@jefferycrouse4652 hah, John Constantine style
Too late
And don't follow suspicious followers
Make deals for some of the best gear, and they never talk to you again.
I remember running across a random mountain in Morrowind and looting this off of what was a pretty rough fight at low levels.
Yes! I used to run there as soon as I could, with a basic bow and arrows, climb up on the rock next to him and just whittle him down. Such a slog but so worth it!
Gotta love morrowind, just randomly bump into an essential storyline NPC and kill them without knowing and sever the thread of destiny lol
@@mikek7660 but you can still do the main quest regardless of how many story npc's you kill.
Sword was like 50lbs and you could carry much loot for a long while... morrowind.. the good Ole days.
Gotta get the “Lords Mail” too, just lower the difficulty and up it once you defeat the redguard.
Or the “auriels bow”, from the dawn or dusk house at the red mountain gate 😊
"Dont pick this sword up"
"So what im hearing is you want me to pick up the sword?"
"No"
"I'm gonna do it anyways"
Me after reading the note not to touch the Ebony Blade
"One Sword to rule them all,
One Sword to find them,
One Sword to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them."

@@Roboprogs imo Umbra and The Ebony Blade are attempts to recreate Stormbringer (aka The Blade Sword), the sword wielded by Elric and other incarnations of the Eternal Champion, from a series of Novels written by Michael Moorcock. Incidentally, Moorcock is credited with popularizing the theory of the Multiverse.
They need to give duskfang/dawnbreaker it's original stats. That sword in oblivion made you a god.
I'm playing through oblivion and got that sword, so badass. I only use umbra and duskfang/dawnfang. I only wish I didn't have to walk everywhere to get the 12 kills. If you fast travel, you're more than likely going to miss getting the superior version since it's constantly on a timer.
@@theunemployedyouth9311 What timer? Is it in Skyrim?
" This sword is to die for..."
-A former wielder of the Umbra
The Will of the Sword sounds like a bad ass weapon based fighting game.
I mean, that's basically the plot of the Soul Calibur series.
About the whole “not picking up Umbra” thing…
Yeah, that dark influence isn’t around anymore. After the Oblivion Crisis, Umbra the entity left the sword. The dark influence is gone, but probably most, if not all, of its power is now gone, especially since Umbra the entity doesn’t really exist anymore. The whole story is really complicated, but to sum it up, Umbra the sword is fairly underwhelming by the time the Dragonborn arrives in Helgen.
Wait, seriously?
@@ShadowIsatis Basically, what happened was that Umbra the entity, when the sword returned to Clavicus Vile’s realm, cut out a chunk of Vile’s power for itself and used it to manifest. Shenanigans ensue, including a merging with some old guy, then something involving a big floating city called Umbriel… It’s kinda crazy.
Also, that’s not even the same Umbra sword. The original was a one-handed sword. The one added by the Umbra Creation Club mod is two-handed and actually does 4 less base damage than the version from Oblivion. More than likely, this is more like an “Umbra 1.1” than an “Umbra 2.0.” That being said, this one *probably* has some kind of corrupting influence since Daedra gonna Daedra, but Dragonborns in TES lore are EXTREMELY strong-willed, so that influence isn’t going to be all that effective in the short-term.
Underwhelming for umbra/an umbra replica. It is still a badass weapon, by all means
@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 Actually, I’ve heard of a mod that’s now out that allows you to not only get the PROPER version of Umbra, but you can allegedly ride the sword LIKE A SKATEBOARD.
@@lordhood117
And yet again i am disappointed by the limitations of console modding
Umbra in Oblivion is pure gold! Awesome sword
Umbra : "Keep killing people nonstop for it is my insatiable bloodlust"
Dragonborn: "I do that for fun all day, is there something else you wanna say to me biatch ?"
The Nerevarine, Dragonborn and the Hero of Oblivion are strong enough to subdue the sword! My favourite weapon in the series.
It's nice to see people listing these heroes in descending order of importance
Video: “Umbra’s dark influence consumes the mind of its wielder”
Dragonborn: “thats cute”
😝😝
Yes, the dragonborn would likely be resistant to the effects because of their dragon soul BUT, alternatively, Umbra build.
Plot twist the person controlling the dragon aka us
Is umbra themselves
You must be asking yourself why Bethesda added this specifically later in the game. As to imply the last thing the Dragonborn does before fading to obscurity is pick up this sword as was a similar fate of the hero of kavach before him
It's cc, which means it's a paid mod.
Umbra was destroyed and its power reabsorbed by Vile
@@the_dropbear4392 It would explain why he wanted the hero of Kvatch to get it for him
@@the_dropbear4392 Truth. I actually read the lore. Here goes Bethesda casting lore aside to make dollars to the pennies the guy who made this did.
Idk I'm pretty sure I got it in my game of the year edition that I bought years ago. Don't remember for sure though.
@@nightfall89z62 nope
Eric of Melnibone. Stormbringer and Mournblade. The original two sentient soul stealing swords. Look it up.
Hell yeah brotha! The Elric saga are best books I've ever read in my 34 years
As in BOC’s Black Blade song
"Why not just make a wooden grip around the handle preventing you from touching the sword?"
I think it wood just become part of the handle giving it more durability. The player is still vulnerable
Umbra: your will is mine
Dragonborn: yeah put yourself in the queue, theres already 13 gods trying to get it
Umbra: gets picked up
Also umbra: “bro why do you have like 50 dragons in here”
Worth it everyone knows the ebony warrior claps mad cheeks.
He’s got the BEC

@@lazilycatharticone4191 More important than water...
The Ebony Warrior is literally my main build character. When I first crossed him, I thought Bethesda just made a copy of my own character for me to defeat.
@@BraddahSpliff i soul trapped the ebony bitch aand threw the soul gem into the ocean so, unless someone randomly finds him i really hope he enjoys watching random fish for eternity
Clavicus should have unique dialog when you go to his shrine with Umbra. He should tell the story of the blade himself. Or at least Barbas.
This is a creation club mod, not gonna happen.
Unless your the hero of Cyrodil or the Neravarine or the dragonborn or---
Basically. Be the protagonist and you'll be fine.
How come everyone keeps forgetting Morrowind
@@someweirdguy5721 It's ancient in terms of the times
@@someweirdguy5721 I said Neravarine (if I'm even spelling it right)
Unless you mean as a whole. Cuz I def remembered it lol.

would be cool if they put some lore or maybe even a description on it meantioning Sul or his whole quest for revenge

Lol
🤣
Next you know you're standing in the mountains outside Suran asking strangers to kill you in combat
Umbra: You are mine now
Me on an Evil playthrough: Oh no, I don't quite think you understand the situation
And suddenly there was an influx of dovahkiin seeking the sword.
Some day I will not die trying to get that sword...
This sword is so good in oblivion, if you don’t complete the quest, the weapon will always stay in your inventory. Like if you go to jail you still have this bad boy in your inventory 👌
I’d really want to get it in later levels but it’s so good.
There needs to be a weapon where if you pick it up, the weapon's vengeful former owner follows you and kills you if you hold the weapon.
*BUT LOOK AT THE STATS*
In oblivion I carry 2 swords Umbera and Goldbrand. One is for sucking souls and the other is for killing. But what I love about Umbera is the fact you can get it as soon as you exit the sewers.
Dawn breaker/Duskfang (the time-sensitive fire-ice sword) is pretty good too.
I HAVE MEMORIZED YOUR MOVES, JOTARO!
Anubis in a nutshell
Good thing I locked it in a display case. Now everyone gets to see it and hear it's muffled screaming through the glass
Umbra: “You’re mine now mortal!”
Akatosh: *clears throat*
Umbra: “Right, sorry sir. Forgot about the get out of jail free card your Dragonborn get.”
The Hero of Kvatch: “oh, this thing? The daedric prince it belongs to asked me to get it. I might eventually get around to that, or I’ll follow his dog’s advice and _not_ do that.”
Okay but does it fly back to you screaming like a clingy girlfriend if you try to discard it?
#Stormbringer gang rise up
The mod sword?
Deepwoken?
@@SilentDusk To both of you: Elric series. Read it. It's a very good/influential fantasy.
Wall mounted sword: *demonic hissing*
Dragonborn: Must of been the wind.
I love the fact that on my first playthrough of Oblivion i cheesed the enemy that had the Umbra Sword and had it super early at the start of the game.
I like finding ways to cheese things. And that Umbra Sword was nice
I remember that, me too!
Ah memories…remember ending Oblivion with the Umbra in hand, combined with Azura’s Star, outfitted in all enchanted Deadric armor and wearing TWO rings of perfection…basically one shotting everyone I came across.
Umbra : "Your soul is mine!"
Me, opening up the command console : "Yeah, about that, pal..."
ah yes, unbroken road, one fo skyrims best tracks.
Umbra: “You soul is mine.”
Dragonborn: “My soul isn’t even my own, gimme.”
This is basically Soul Edge.
That will not stop me from collecting every unique weapon I see
Then the Umbra got lost, froze and is now known as the Frostmourne
Love your shorts Fudge 😊
Will be picking this us later lol
It’s the most powerful sword in lore prove me wrong
Considering it cut through a GOD, i can see why you think so
If we can count headcannon as lore I got you lol
Custom enchanted weapons at level 100 are better IMO. *Especially* with some "creative" use of potions. Some guy made an iron dagger that one-shotted Mehrunes Dagon at the end of Oblivion's Main Quest. I think It broke the game because he's supposed to be invincible, but still.
Umbra: YOU WILL BEND TO MY WILL
Dragonborn: I miss the part where that’s my problem
Umbra: your will is now mine, I shall make you go insane
Dragonborn:(rearranging dead bodies into sexual ly provocative positions) sorry what was that
DB: Huh?? Oh don't worry I already am!!! :) :)
Me telekinetically throwing skulls at people and laughing because it reminds me of bad to the bone:
Sounds like something IAmCrusty would be doing.
Is it a mod or is the sword just in the game. I loved that sword in oblivion
mod
It's in the game if you own legendary edition at champion's rest, it even has a cool boss fight!
creation club mod
@@user-vv1do1wg1j Have you heard of creation club, or the Anniversary Edition?
@@nowhereman2003 it’s included in the anniversary edition, you just need to have it downloaded off of creation club

Terrifying idea, but wield the sword with the wolf mask artifact.
