Tidus44 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 umbra: the invariable or characteristic accompaniment or companion of a person or thing. I recall thinking of this the first time I ran across the unfortunate Bosmer in Vindasel. The thing that I suppose I never decided was, was she the characteristic accompaniment to the sword or was the sword the characteristic accompaniment to her? One of the reasons I prefer Oblivion over Skyrim - the subtle things one routinely ran across in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
