No sure about that. The Sleepers want to keep the Tiger
Sleeping, while the Worldspacklers want to keep the cosmos
together. (You know, they might work for the Comte in that way
-- a la Bi3P.)

Might want to use the Astralia Reloads from CHW, where the
Spirit World is an astral plane.

If anyone was gonna come back as a UA demon, he's it. (I suspect
that Houdini would come back, too; kind of sad, obessed with
escapology, and all other memories shorn away.)

That's actually an interesting point. Wouldn't dying nonentities
get swarmed by tenebrae? The nonentities dissolve upon death,
leaving a bunch of hungry, pissed off tenebrae.

Anywho, the thing I don't like about the
nonentity+tenebrae=Qlippoth equation is that I think it's very
important for Qlippoth to be *people* that have gone beyond what
they should of and become monsters, rather than a couple cosmic
doohickeys fused together.
