Conceptual Spirits
Umbral Realm · Werewolf
The Astral Umbra is home to every conceivable type of conceptual spirit. The very idea of a thing creates a spirit representation in the Astral Umbra, allowing every thought, dream, or idea to be a spirit somewhere. While these spirits often have counterparts in the Middle Umbra, some are so bizarre they can only be found in the far edges of the Astral. Most spirits in the Astral Umbra are very straightforward, their very nature dependent on the idea, concept, or thought that gave them birth. Spirits of hate, desire, knowledge, conspiracies and many more act as the physical embodiment of those ideas.
Some concepts are much more complex, and their representative spirits exhibit an array of moods and person alities depending on the situation. The spirit of patriotism may welcome and aid a Silver Fang traveler, but be hostile towards a Silent Strider. Many of the spirits are fickle, and though they know their way around the Astral Umbra, they are unlikely to assist a traveler to do anything but leave.
Concepts such as religion and deities create very powerful spirits found within realms created by the collective ideals associated with the religion. A traveler may find God in
Heaven, Nyx among the shadows, or the wise Ahura Mazda upon a throne of goodness and light. These gods may not show any regard for a traveler, but he would be wise to pay them respects regardless of his beliefs in case they decide to take notice.
