Observers and infiltrators, the Umbral Choir seeks to understand--and heal--the galaxy.
Endless Space 2 - Penumbra - Prologue
About[]
Lore[]
An ancient immaterial creature from the depth of intergalactic space, the Umbral Choir roamed the cold, empty wastes, terribly alone until a great cry of anguish pierced the darkness. Shattering into a choir of echoes, the fractured creature sped towards the source of the space-and-time rending wail--the Endless galaxy--seeking to salve that which was in pain. Unbeknownst to the Umbral Choir, the cry marked the dying scream of the Endless civilization, and as it arrived, millennia later, new life was emerging from the remnants. Still wishing to give peace to any who suffer, the Umbral Choir will remain in the shadows, infiltrating and watching until its is ready to act.
Trivia[]
- According to the comic, the Umbral Choir visited Coroz. After contact with the native inhabitants of Coroz, two things happened:
- The Choir stopped being a single consciousness, and fractured into many minds; and
- The Riftborn were possibly infected by the Umbral Choir (the black "blight"), thus creating a need for the Riftborn to enter the Endless universe.
- It's possible to invade and settle on Crescents as another faction, but only the rightful owner may terraform them into larger Crescents.
- "What's this" population quest is possibly a reference to the song from Nightmare Before Christmas
