Alright, so in the description of Erebus, there is mention of crystals and such, which already places Umbra far apart from it, but there's more than just that. Space as it may or may not exist is... abstract in Umbra.

Aside from the incomprehensible rifts that simultaneously form and dissipate throughout the plane, there are also beings that are both borderline comprehensible, such as simple eldritch beasts, along with the more complex, higher dimensional beings.

Basically, this dimension is somewhat abstract, in both that the beings within it are of many different dimensional variations, but that space itself within it stretches or shrinks into higher and lower dimensions throughout the... "space" of it. This causes the rifts to form and instantaneously dissipate at the same "time".

There is "ground" some places within it, but it is unreliable, and where as at times it is a construct of pseudo matter, it is at others simply a construct of the mind... Sorry, went on a bit of a rant there, but yeah. Umbra is, I think, a unique concept that might be worth consideration.
