Ember & Umbra

Ember & Umbra

Ember & Umbra is Drogo’s love letter
To opposing materials, each half our better
The warmth of a forge is in the Damascus Ember
The mystery of the wild is in the Horn Umbra

Both finished by the hands of an artisan
Yet worlds apart in weight, warmth, origin
Both bear patterns that make each piece one-of-a-kind
One made by folding steels, one by nature’s own mind 

A hundred folds, and then a hundred more
Steels doubled over and over in heat in its core
Carrying a warm glow that never fully dies
The Damascus Ember is fire in disguise

Grown slow upon a creature of the plain
Remembering each year under the moon and the rain
Sanded to a shine as dark as night
The Horn Umbra is the shadow behind the light

Ember & Umbra is greater than the sum of its parts
Inside, each counterpart has one single heart
Unique patterns are present in the shape they share
A true round sphere, achieved with patient care
