This strange region permeates the Near Umbra, connecting all places to all other places through a series of small tunnels. Most notably, almost all supernatural, magical, and technological phenomena simply cease to function within this region. Guns will not fire, werewolves lose their spiritual Gifts, and mages cannot alter reality. The one exception is abilities that allow a person to cross a Gauntlet – by travelling to another place in the Null Zone and passing back through into the Umbra, a traveller will enter another locations, seemingly at random.
