Set in Teralis, The Vessel of Umbra follows Sora Surana, a hot-headed half-elf from a remote hut in Talalock. Inspired by his human father, Eskender—gone a year to battle the Belzamar armies—Sora dreams of heroism. But his journey begins not with a sword, but a mistake. When Shikami, Sora’s fierce older sister and guardian, brings home a mysterious youth she rescued from bandits, Sora’s distrust is instant. The stranger is human—despicable in Sora’s eyes—and something feels wrong. While spying, Sora rifles the traveler’s pack and finds a vial of churning red liquid. Reckless, he downs it—and everything changes. The brew awakens dragonlike power in him, along with a curse he can’t name. As shadows gather and secrets surface, Sora learns his future is bound to a lost past: the soul of the dragon god Umbra has taken hold within him. With Shikami—a wily, blade-swift rogue with senses to match—Sora’s victories and blunders will test their limits, and redefine what family and friendship demand. Magic, myth, bias, and intent collide in a coming-of-age where small choices ignite vast consequences. The Vessel of Umbra is a tale of discovered strength, forgotten gods, and the stubborn fire of a reluctant boy who refuses to be forgotten.
