Umbralys

Although unknown in its entirety, it marks Aklearoth's neck, it provides him with unbelievable Athar'uhm power, to the point of making him capable of absorbing souls from every deceased creature by his hands.

Origins
Nobody knows for sure where and how the Umbralys came to exist nor what it is exactly, it marks somebody's soul with the pure energy of Athar'uhm, however, most sources, mainly demonic in nature, claim that it's a kind of energy created by the Ancient Dragons before they went extinct, with the sole purpose of saving the coming generations of dragons from extinction.

It is said that to create such an energy, three Ancients had to subjugate a planetary demon by the name of Nidhogg, who's the cause for the two Disappearances, due to its amount of power, mainly Athar'uhm upgraded with demonic energy, deities and demons alike are afraid of it, and as such, circa 1629 - Corenaich Era, Izhaias, along his sister and all demons worked together to find the egg of Aklearoth, and attempt to get rid of it as soon as possible, or such has mentioned the demon Belial.

Capabilities
The Umbralys, or the Sigiled One for that matter, is capable of absorbing souls and using them to either trade with demons or keep them in its own. Usually, the Sigiled One, will have a huge lack of Mana, depending on physical energy or the energy of the absorbed souls, which is a consequence of the demonic energy the Umbralys has.

The first offspring of a Sigiled One will obtain a similar power to the Umbralys', making it a hereditary feature, only dragons can even have the Umbralys, no other creature, it must have draconic heritage, at the same time, nobody else in the universe should have it, because only one Umbralys can exist at the same time.

Due to being an energy based on Athar'uhm, its colour is always purple, and it is a counter to demonic energy, making the sheer existence of the Umbralys a contradiction itself, nobody really knows how the Ancients managed to mix such contrary energies together, but it is the cause for its huge amount of power, almost no kind of energy can counter it, aside from Red Crystallic one, which is thought to be extinct.

Valumbran legends
Due to the Valumbran faith, the Serpent of the World is a distortion of the sigiled dragon, in this case, Aklearoth, that has spread troughout Valumbra due to the stories of the last Ancient Dragons, who were entirely wiped out of said continent.

Faithful of the Valumbran faith of Arechtetlan know the legends that considers the Serpent as a god who must not be angered, because it has the power to devour the world and become an astral being.

The most dedicated faithful, however, are the only faithful that know how the Umbralys is or looks and the ones that provide the Daenian kingdom with information, they consider that the Serpent is not capable of devouring the world and becoming an astral being without the Umbralys Wyverna, which is an artifact crafted by the Ancient Dragons the same time they created the Umbralys, as a last resort for the Sigiled One, this artifact would completely unlock the Umbralys' power.

All of this, of course, is just a Valumbran legend, originated from the distortion of the stories overtime, nobody is sure if any of this is true or not.

Said artifact was seized by the Empire long before the Sigiled one was born. They found it in the deepest of the mountains of Forjath, due to this, Valumbrans want to take over the Empire to have said artifact under control and make sure the Serpent never finds it.
