The Desolate

The Desolate are magical beings unleashed by the Prime Evils after the Vedalken attempted to ascend one of their own into godhood. The Desolate were primary combatants in the War of the Six.

Seeing that defeat by the hands of The Sentinels (The Six) and the mortal races of Eldspire was imminent, The Desolate unleashed a magical curse upon the land, destroying crops, cities, and the environment in an event known as The Blight. This resulted in the Umbral Age (Umbral Epoch, Umbral Era, Umbra), a 1000 year period of darkness and despair. Not much knowledge of the Umbral Age remains.
