Mages
Umbral Realm · Werewolf
After conceptual spirits, the most common thing a Garou is likely to run into is a mage. Mages treat the Astral Umbra as their personal playground. Some even create establishments and strongholds in realms of their own creation. Mages enter the Astral both as mental projections and as physical beings. Few other creatures can control their physical essence as precisely as a mage to accomplish the feat. They have such control over their own will and their surroundings that they are uniquely equipped to deal with the strange conceptual environments of the Astral Umbra.
Interactions with mages in the Umbra tend to be no different from interactions with mages in the physical realm. Some mages may be more interested in talking and helping a Garou in the Umbra, even if they normally wouldn’t in the physical realm, and some become hostile for no apparent reason. In all cases, werewolves should be on their guard. Mages within the Umbra are not constrained by the laws of reality and Paradox the way they are in the physical realm.
