Where is Umbra, and how do I get to her?

I suggest you just kill Umbra and never talk to Clavicus Vile (Deadra lord). He wants Umbra (strongest base sword in the game), and if you give it to him he gives you a stupid mask that gives you +20 personality. And even if you say no to him, Umbra goes from having a weight of 0 to 45.

Oh, and you might want to make sure you're ready to fight her if you're a low level. She packs hardcore ebony armor. You can check the site and forum for suggested ways to supposedly get Umbra at level one and other early levels.

I took her out with 2 hits of my mages staff of shocks. It did 40 shock damage so she went down easily (i was lvl 8 :twisted:)

The King of Ayleids from mainline dropped an 80dmg fire staff. This should be fun...

Umbra sword

The Umbra sword is a very nice, jet-black, single handed longsword. To obtain
it you must be at least level 20. Travel along the Gold Road heading north
from Skingrad until you come to the shrine of the Daedric Prince Clavicus
Vile. You will need to make an offering of 500 gold to his shrine . Talk to
one of the followers there to start the quest.

Clavicus will tell you to go to the town of Pell's Gate, I won't bother
with locations from here on they will be marked on your map. He wants you to
search for Umbra and return it to him. Throughout the quest Barbas, Clavicus'
dog, will tell you that the sword will destroy Clavicus if you give it to
him., discard this for now. In Pell's Gate find Irroki the wide, get him to
like you, and ask about Umbra.

You will then need to head to Vindasel, and kill Umbra, the wielder of the
sword Umbra. She will give you a choice to leave and live, or fight and die.
KILL HER! Don't be frightened and get that sword! After getting the sword you
can either give it to Clauvicus for a unique helmet the will raise your
personality or keep it. Do neither. Instead do not finish the quest. Umbra
does a large amount of damage and has the ability of soultrap placed on it. If
you finish the quest it will weigh 45 pounds, but don't finish it and it will
stay a quest item. All quest items are weightless so this makes it quite
useful.

There may be some other reprocussions by not giving him the sword for the
quest, telling him you won't give it to him not keeping the quest incomplete,
because he mentions keeping an eye on you. So please don't hold that against
me.

its leveled.
at lvl 15 up, its actual ebony armour rating.
before that, its orcish.

That is strange. Especially since the Required Level for the Clavicus Vile Quest is 20. Maybe that is to discourage players from going after the Sword & Armor to soon, but then you would think it would not be full Ebony until Level 20. Although, Ebony is leveled to not show up until level 15, so that is probably it.

The CS does show two sets of Armor, Umbra's Inventory shows his Armor as Leveled, the Leveled Items list shows DAUmbraBoots9 - 1 (level) & DAUmbraBoots15 - 15 (level).

The Umbra Sword is not Leveled, there is only one.
