Welcome to Umbra Munte!
Greetings, friend, and welcome to Umbra Munte! This area is sort of WIP, so please excuse any messes or broken links!
About the Dream: Umbra Munte is a semi realistic historical fantasy feral roleplay dream on Furcadia. The place in which our roleplay takes place is located in the forests of ancient Transylvania (now modern-day Romania), nestled along the Carpathian Mountains. This dream is loosely based off of the book, The Sight by David Clement-Davies, but you do not have to read the book in order to roleplay in Umbra Munte.
Umbra Munte is a very old place where several different animals keep myths and legends alive in stories, and offer prayers to their gods in secret temples built by unknown hands long ago. The wolves and some other canines are the apex predator here, and show off their dominance through upright stones they keep in their territories with their pack symbols painted on them. Some say the land is cursed... others seek to find truth. What will you find?
What are the rules like? This dream has strict rules when it comes to what you can do there. If having rules is a turn-off for you, this may not be the dream for you. But do not let our strict rules deter you from joining! We are a very laid-back, drama-free dream with friendly players, just dying to roleplay! If you are interested in the dream, it is ideal to read everything you can to get a basic understanding of how we work. Never be afraid to ask questions!
Why join Umbra Munte? We not only have such a rich lore and history surrounding the dream, but it might be fun and interesting to delve into concepts that most fantasy feral dreams have never quite explored. Some fantasy creatures have it easier and may be able to solve their problems faster with magic, but a magic-less world would compel a character to adapt and survive in a rich environment filled with superstition and political intrigue. It is likely that your character will help mold Umbra Munte's future... There are many possibilities, and we would be thrilled to have you explore them with us!
Explanation of genre: Our genre seemed a bit complicating and confusing for some people who did not understand the limits of semi-realism. So here is a break-down of the dream's genre:

Explanation of genre: Our genre seemed a bit complicating and confusing for some people who did not understand the limits of semi-realism. So here is a break-down of the dream's genre:
- Semi-realistic: The dream is considered mostly realistic, with some fantasy elements. Animals are expected to look similar to real-world animals that are native to Transylvania. The only fantasy elements that we accept are slightly mutated features, such as: slightly longer, bushier tails; slightly longer fangs, slightly longer claws, strangely colored eyes, etc. To be safe, check with staff for approval. The animals here have slight anthropomorphism, in which they can talk and make very crude and creative adornments or items, such as beads, feathers, wear paints or dyes, etc. Human objects found like me necklaces or armor can potentially be worn. Some animals might even have their own religion. That is where the fantasy ends. There are no vampires, werewolves, or anything that comes from myth and legend that walk naturally on this earth. They are, however, talked about a lot in stories.
- Historical Fantasy: UM is based off of real historical events in Transylvania. The year is around 1100-1200 AD. While we might not abide by the true events, we make our own history here.
- Feral Roleplay: This dream is meant for wild animal roleplay, with the occasional domestic pig or chicken from the human villages. While humans might be talked about a lot with our characters, humans are not allowed in Umbra Munte.
