Okay, but if the Umbra is growing as Crowned-By-Fire progresses, what was it before the God's arrived? Were the spirits just a mythical religion for the Dragonfolk? Because that would be fine, I should think, though you might have to list that as one of his Unique abilities.

Perhaps we can omit the idea of the Umbra entirely, and keep spirits on as entities that have always been around.
