| | Umbra (World of Darkness) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Werewolves and other shapeshifters have had the richest history of interaction with the Umbra of any terrestrial beings in the World of Darkness (due to their spiritual nature and their alliances with the forces of the spirit world), but their interactions are almost exclusively limited to the Spiritual Umbra and the Shenti. | | | The Umbra is the spirit world, a shadow or reflection of the real world, in the World of Darkness role-playing game setting. | | | While it is contrasted with Umbra the Spirit World, it is not completely devoid of spiritual energies. |

| | If you are standing in the umbra part of the shadow, you will experience a brief period of total darkness during the day. | | | Because the Sun is not a point source of light, there will be both umbra and penumbra shadows produced on the Earth. | | | In the region directly above the umbra, photons from Bulb 1 reach the screen, but photons from Bulb 2 are blocked by the book. |

| | If asked how old his is, Umbra usually replies that the light came, with the light came the creatures of light, but with the light came shadows and darkness, with the shadows came creatures of darkness and shadow. | | | One thing that is true is that Umbra was one of the first, his cunning and knowledge of his race's abilities have allowed him to survive this long. | | | Umbra has watched many an adventurer from the shadows, watches them go and kill things for the simple reason of glory and honour. |

| | Writer Guidelines |
| | We acknowledged the Umbra and the spirit worlds and the consensus, but these things are really just too tremendous to be discussed in complete and painful detail in a book already overflowing with necessary information. | | | Sure, it's a World of Darkness and we have leeway for adult material, but please, use it because it needs to be there, not just to make your stuff "adult." Reading four-letter obscenities every three words just makes me yawn and throw out the manuscript; anybody can do that. | | | Although the world of the changelings is a fantastic and wondrous place, the edges are fading as the color slowly washes away; the drab, mundane world slowly encroaches. |

| | On the Nature of Eclipses |
| | The umbra is a central cone of darkness which tapers away from the Earth or Moon, whilst the penumbra is an outer cone of partial shadow which diverges instead of tapering. | | | The zone covered by the umbra is called the path of totality, and although no more than 270km (170 miles) wide (when the Moon is directly overhead) it may be thousands of kilometers long. | | | Within the smaller, inner circle of the umbra the Sun will be entirely blotted out by the Moon. |

| | The Legion #24 Review - Silver Bullet Comics |
| | Umbra returns to Talok VIII by instant threshold, only to find her world shrouded in the darkness that she no longer controls. | | | Lightle comes up with some intriguing ideas (like the infrared goggles and light-suits required to exist in a world of night), and the battle where she must reclaim the usurped darkness is dramatic and fittingly morbid. | | | That's quite a surprise, as the reboot Umbra has been little more than a tiresome termagant for most of her appearances. |
