But a less obvious problem is, in a Glen it’s easy to assume that the Wyld is the answer. It’s easy to look at a Glen and think that strengthening the force of chaos until it crushes the Weaver and Wyrm would fix everything.","Some {@tribe Children of Gaia|Kin} warn Garou to avoid extended periods in a Glen for this very reason. It breeds a righteous zeal that could mean an Apocalypse that ends with the Wyld filling the same, corrupted role the Wyrm fills now.","The {@tribe Red Talons|Kin}, though, don’t give a shit. Their affinity for Glens runs deep, and they remain unconvinced there’s anything damaging about extended time inside. Most an­ swer accusations with a growl, then possibly a bite. More philosophical Talons say they understand the concept of unbalanced idealism, but they feel that Glens act as inspi­ ration. Their value as motivational tools far outweighs the small risk of irrational responses.","Fortunately, Wyldings exist as a reminder of what {@umbral_realm The Wyld|W20|the Wyld} is in a pure form, and why overbalancing that expres­ sion of {@umbral_realm The Triat|W20|the Triat} wouldn’t be wise. No Garou in her right mind would want to live in a Wylding. Unfortunately, in the end times a few werewolves are very much not in their right minds.","Hellholes are to the Wyrm what Glens are to {@umbral_realm The Wyld|W20|the Wyld}. They’re filthy pits that embody fear, pain, anguish, despair, and corruption. They’re the worst the Penumbra has to offer, and every Garou learns the dangers of a Hellhole early on in their training.","Hellholes typically manifest analogous to the filthiest, most hopeless examples of human waste in the world. Con­ trary to the easy assumption, these places only sometimes exist in cities. After all, most humans don’t want to live anywhere near the kind of nastiness that would cause a Hellhole."],"_qa":{"flags":[],"parser":"headed_entries","confidence":0.9,"extracted":"2026-10-12","job":"uv2-realms"},"location_type":"umbral_realm","_links":{"self":"/api/v1/records/werewolf/location/umbral_realm/places-of-denial","html":"/records/werewolf/location/umbral_realm/places-of-denial","parent":null,"children":"/api/v1/records/werewolf/location/umbral_realm/places-of-denial/children","sources":[{"abbr":"UVS","page":26,"folio":26,"title":"Umbra: The Velvet Shadow"}]},"_db":{"title":"Places of Denial","props":[],"parent_id":null,"level":null,"category":null,"summary":"In a Glen, it’s easy to forget what it’s like on the outside.
