Wilson & Yeats, eh? That wouldn't be Wilson & Yeats Railroad Manufacturing, would it? (Holy shit, Weiland-Yutani! A subdivision of robotics manufacture, research & medicine... Werewolfs. In. Spaaace!)Acronyms aside, regarding the umbral in-betweeny where the restless soul was found - would that be something akin to the Skinlands? I know little of the umbral realms, I'm more of a Vampire-nut, and I have a recurring headache regarding the Giovanni and the cosmology of ghosts. If I've understood it correctly, there's: 1) Meatspace or IRL - Reality in its full mundane lack-of-glory. 2) Skinlands - In-betweeny realm where ghost that haunt the meatspace actually reside. Contain crumbling imagery of the reality that once was, for instance: houses that have been torn down. 3) Shadowlands - The land of the dead, a fully separate realm with its own rules and geography. Have I grokked the realms of living and dead mortals correctly? (I understand there's a bunch of other umbral realms that the garou may venture in, but let us ignore those for now.)

Railroad Management. It's a pretty blatant acronym, but I could not resist. As for the question about the Skinlands, I don't know that I can give a proper answer. In part that is also because I have changed up how the Umbra regions work to accommodate for Chen's desire, but difficulty, in connecting with spirits. The area I have been having him travel to is sort of my interpretation of a combo Gauntlet and Penumbra that would seem to be another layer between your Meatspace and Skinlands descriptions. Honestly, the Umbra is also a very convoluted thing as written: whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/UmbraI'm hoping to explore the Umbra realms more in season two, especially since everyone is still green to this game and there's been plenty to learn as it is. They've had enough to deal with in Meatspace without going full on into spirit space.
