Overview

Umbala is an isolated tribal village built among massive trees, surrounded by four field maps characterized by lush greens and abundant forests. Monsters found in these maps are of a wide variety and may look like plants, but most of them are from various other races.

To get to Umbala, you can teleport from Comodo or walk through the Comodo caves and some field maps. The Kafra Employee in Prontera can also teleport you directly. Umbala serves as the gateway to Niflheim through Hvergelmir's Fountain.

Story

According to legend, there is a forgotten path somewhere near north of Comodo. At the end of the path, there is a giant tree from which treasure springs forth. It has been said: "Men ruled by avarice will obtain treasure. But men who are not will be lead to a new world."

The Bards and Dancers of Comodo spread this legend to the people, but for many years it was misinterpreted as a tale about an ancient kingdom of treasures. Knights were dispatched from the Kingdom, Hunters came for ancient treasures, Alchemists and Sages sought relics, and Rogues arrived to enjoy themselves at others' expense.

One day, someone found a wood-carving ornament in Ruande, the north cave of Comodo. Scholars examined it and concluded it was from the tree in the legend. Adventurers later found an old wooden bridge over a canyon, and on the other end was a great jungle forest so large it almost enveloped the sky.

After crossing the bridge, they arrived at a small tribal village full of people wearing strange masks who worshipped the Mother Tree. They called themselves the Utan Tribe of Umbala and entertained the adventurers with their traditional songs and dance, presenting wood-carved ornaments to symbolize friendship.

However, some adventurers were infuriated that the legendary treasures were nowhere to be found, taking their anger out on the village people. This caused a division within the village. Since the chief and most villagers favored the visitors, they allowed more adventurers to come, and the village has become very popular to tourists and adventurers alike.
