Umbra and Vuhon tried to get the city to the White-Gold Tower to complete its separation from Vile. However, they could not leave the city because of Vile’s circumscription. Vuhon made a pact with Hierem to summon Umbriel into Tamriel. They drifted through many realms and places beyond even Oblivion. They merged into one being, Vuhon/Umbra could control Umbriel, while the energies Umbra had stolen from Vile powered the Ingenium. Umbra agreed, so Vuhon built a second ingenium that allowed Umbra's city, Umbriel, to escape into Tamriel. Vuhon promised him that if he spared his life, he would build a new ingenium, capable of escaping even Vile’s circumscription. The sword fell to Vivec City, and it was recovered by Elhul Sathil, who went mad as soon as he touched the blade. Umbra took advantage of the situation, and he tossed the sword through the rift the ingenium came through. It ended up in Vile's realm, probably because of the Prince's joy for souls. After the Ingenium that kept the Ministry of Truth exploded, it was catapulted into Oblivion. The Umbra spirit fled with the sword to one of the cities in Vile's realm to avoid being trapped again. Shortly Vile received the Umbra Sword from the Hero of Kvatch, Umbra escaped the sword and stole some of Vile's power, greatly weakening the Daedric Prince. He had a sword, and as we lay there, it laughed and tossed it through the rift we'd come through." ―Sul It was shaped like a man, but dark, with eyes like holes into nothing. "When we arrived, there was someone-or something-waiting for us. Vile circumscribed his plane against Umbra, so that it could not escape from his influence. He injured the daedric prince so badly that Umbra became almost as strong as Vile. Umbra somehow managed to cut a piece from Clavicus Vile himself. Over time, either through the process of trapping so many souls or by the design of Vile or Waerr, the sword gained its own sentience. Some even named themselves after the sword, possibly foreshadowing its eventual independence. Several wielders noted that their lives became nothing other than a quest to use the sword in constant battle.
This essence would ultimately overtake the wielders and become the driving force in their lives. As part of the creation process, Vile embued it with part of his essence. The Umbra Sword was created by Naenra Waerr to trap souls, at Clavicus Vile's request. If someone cut your leg off and the leg starting calling itself 'Umbra', it would still be your leg, wouldn’t it? You wouldn’t humor it, would you? Help it out with its delusions of grandeur?" ―Clavicus Vile about Umbra What was in this sword was me, plain and simple. This-thing-that suffers from the delusion that it is its own-person-is actually nothing of the kind, do you understand? No more than a stone rolling down a hill is capable of real self-locomotion. "First of all, let’s not go calling anyone 'Umbra'.
