OWL - The Occult Wildlife Landing
The Occult Wildlife Landing (OWL) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of supernatural creatures to live a life unmolested by humanity’s relentless spread and greed.
While OWL has become the de-facto head of the conservationist movement in the United States, many claim it’s not as innocent as it appears. A number of small, seemingly-disconnected terrorist cells wear the OWL insignia with pride. These groups– which tend to contain a disproportionate number of supernatural creatures and beings– commit high-profile acts of public violence with the intent of furthering OWL’s core objectives. In the past, they’ve blown up oil pipelines, stopped development projects, and even infected congregations of people with mutagenic viruses.
OWL denies any involvement with these so-called “OWL-inspired terrorist organizations” (or OITOs for short). However, many people conflate the two and consider OWL itself to be a terrorist organization.
One thing is for certain: when OWL sends a blast to its followers urging protest, they’re taken seriously.

The Well and its inhabitants birth darkness, bathe in darkness, and breed darkness. Oblivion started in darkness and will end in darkness. Its various inhabitants have adapted to such a harsh terrain- Umbra was no different, and Luci's connection to the Well allows her to temporarily adopt some of those perceptive traits.
Luci's irises swell with cloudy blackness, like a drop of paint trailing down in a jar of water, turning her eyes from a light hazel to a deep black to annotate this change.
