The Penumbra This is the Near Umbra, the spiritual mirror side of New York and surrounding areas. It can range from the most beautiful woodland glades to the most frightening, weaver and bane-infested slums of New York City to the glowing toxic pits where industrial wastes have been dumped in New Jersey. Distances here closely mimic those in the physical realm. Since this is a spirit realm, buildings sometimes appear here which have been long destroyed in the physical realm. Conversely, buildings which have been recently constructed have no counterpart here. No matter the time of day, it is always night here, illuminated only by the rays of the Umbral moon. Journeys into the Deep Umbra usually start from here. |  |
