Third Ring Penumbral Construct
Everything in the map, that is pink AND orange, is part of the third ring penumbra. The Gauntlet in the orange areas is 9; the Gauntlet in the pink areas is 8. However, travel through this portion of the penumbra is extremely slow, and all travel time is doubled, even for spirits.
Gifts that cost Gnosis but not Rage cost 1 more point of Gnosis. Spirit Charms that cost Essence cost 1 additional point of Essence. Weaver spirits are immune to all of these effects, and enjoy the benefit of all rolled actions by weaver spirits being at a -1 difficulty. This includes rolls to activate Charms.
Summoning: The Third Ring structure makes summoning spirits more dangerous. If someone manages to overcome the thick gauntlet, they can summon spirits, but spirits of gaffling strength and lower can only be summoned if they are already inside the ring. Jaggling spirits may or may not be able to get through, and they will most likely not be able to make it out. Spirits of greater power can come in, but they will be resentful to have done so.
Looks Like in the Umbra: The pink areas of the Umbra look like any other urban umbra, though the population of spirits is significantly reduce. In the orange areas, only weaver-aligned spirits travel freely. Only the strongest non-weaver spirits can cross through the orange areas with impunity, and they do not like to do so. For borderline spirits, they are practically trapped within the pink.
Lowering the Gauntlet: Lowering the rating of the Gauntlet in the Third Ring has consequences. Gifts, Spells, Fetishes, Merits and other methods which lower the Gauntlet or the difficulty to enter it tend to attract pattern spiders.
Dedication
Items are only considered dedicated if they are jnoted. Putting something in your pocket does not allow you to treat the item as dedicated. You will not lose renown for dedicating weaver items. A common 3 items might be: 1 knife, 1 outfit and 1 phone.
Spirits inside the Cities
Spirits who are not allied with the Weaver tend to have only 75% of their normal Essence. It is harder for them to regain that essence.
