Elhul Sathil had been the one to recover it, and had been driven into a killing frenzy. Without Umbra stabilising the sword, it drove whoever touched it insane. The sword had already been retrieved by the minor House Sathil eight years previous. However, when Sul and Prince Attrebus Mede arrived at Scathing Bay on Vvardenfell in search of the Umbra Sword, it was nowhere to be found. Hierem had promised use of the White Gold Tower to separate Umbriel from Vile's realm, but Vuhon first went north to the ruins of Vivec City, fearing that the Umbra Sword may be used to trap Umbra. The city of Umbriel was called to Tamriel circa 4E 40 by Chief Minister Hierem and the An-Xileel, who had got in touch with the city via the Hist, who in turn had made contact with the related sentient trees which ran the ecosystem on Umbriel. Vuhon then began to call himself Umbriel, and ruled the floating city. Umbra fused with Vuhon and placed their joined soul into the new ingenium. Umbra agreed, and the two created Umbriel, a floating city powered by souls.
Umbra took them captive, and in return for his life Vuhon promised to build a new ingenium, which would tear a piece of Vile's realm away and let Umbra "escape", in a sense. That day came when the ingenium was destroyed Umbra threw the sword to Mundus, while at the same time Sul and Vuhon, two Dunmer responsible for the ingenium, were sucked through into Clavicus Vile's realm. Casting a fortune, Umbra learned that the rift would one day become wide enough to throw the Umbra Sword through, lessening the threat posed by Vile. In the early Fourth Era, Umbra was attracted to the influx of souls coming from the rift in the realm caused by the first ingenium, which held aloft Baar Dau above Vivec City. Using his stolen power, Umbra was able to conceal himself in one of the cities at the edge of Vile's realm, fearing that Vile would return him to the sword. The Prince did not want Umbra to escape with his power, so he changed the walls of his realm, essentially trapping Umbra there. Umbra took the form of a dark being, in the shape of a man but with eyes like holes into nothing. Once the sword arrived in Vile's realm, Umbra escaped and cut away some of the Prince's power for itself.
Despite the warning, the Champion tracked down and slew Lenwin in the Ayleid ruin of Vindasel and gave the sword to Vile in return for his Masque. Barbas, Vile's Hound, advised the Champion against bringing him the sword, foreseeing that it would bring ruin to the Prince. From the UESP: In 3E 433, Clavicus Vile sent the Champion of Cyrodiil to retrieve the Umbra Sword.
