Amberites
The current
Amber Family Tree, according to da GM.
- Dworkin
- Creator of the pattern and Oberon's
parent via the male unicorn. Usually residing in Darkover with an
alternate Dworkin, and sane for the first time in aeons. Currently
fishing for Ingold with variable Pattern near the Spiral, with an
alternate Pattern-less Dworkin hanging out upstairs.
- Oberon
- Formerly missing, blood-cursed, and
possibly bleeding. Believed to have been
killed by
King Eric the Second after being
discovered in shadow killing Jean-saucers.
Oberon's Children
- Benedict
- Oberon's oldest (but ab-initoed)
living child, by Cymnea. Acknowledged father of Ingold and Johann. Also
father of Beauregard, Carlton, and Cyndia. Killed and vivisected by an
alternate Benedict, then sealed in blucite, removed and rebuilt, then
lost and found once again. An evil alternate Benedict has apparently
converted to righeousness, and is currently helping Hamster Dworkin
convert Julian.
- Osric
- Deceased son of Oberon by
Cymnea. Circumstances of death unknown.
- Finndo
- Deceased son of Oberon by Cymnea.
Circumstances of death unknown.
- Eric
- Deceased son of Oberon by Faiella. Died
heroically during the Patternfall war. Died again at the paws of Snarsht
after possessing Norton's body. Neville's father.
- Corwin
- Eldest acked son of Oberon, by
Faiella. Acknowledged father of Malachai
and Cassandra, unacknowledged father of
Merlin. Currently head of Warrior's Guild due to a clerical error by
Chaos. Not to be confused with the Clown Prince of Amber, who has been
declared useless and discarded despite being the original Corwin. We
like the new one better. Currently missing; hoped to be safe but
trapped in Pearl.
- Caine
- Younger son of Oberon, by
Faiella. Admiral of the Fleets of Amber. Father of K'rin and Raven.
Recently crowned Interim King of Chaos then removed from the throne due
to gross negligence of his duties. Marooned in then time-stopped
Darkover by Shiryu, taken by dragons for judgment, and then returned by
them as a corpse after destroying an alternate Chaos in an attempt to
flee justice.
- Dierdre
- Deceased daughter of Oberon by
Faiella. Mortally wounded by Brand immediately before his fall into the
Abyss. An alternate (Wednesday Addams-esque) Dierdre-child escaped from
Hillbilly Amber, and is currently roaming throughout shadow and building
an empire. How very cute.
Update: After Oberon died, Dworkin became sane,
and King Eric the Second died after
un-drawing the Pattern, Dierdre turned up again, having been hanging out
in Pearl as Corwin's wife since the Patternfall war. We made her King of
Amber, because she was willing to accept the job.
- Fiona
- Younger daughter of Oberon by Clarissa.
Mother of Rhiannon and Connor. Was grey sphered, believed deceased.
- Bleys
- Younger son of Oberon by
Clarissa. Father of Alister and Celeste. Recently freed from his grey
sphere, believed deceased.
- Llewella
- Younger daughter of Oberon by Moins.
Banished from Amber by Queen Clarissa, returned, attacked Chaos and
Amber, and has promised King Neville that she'll be good. Yeah, right.
- Brand
- Deceased son of Oberon by
Clarissa. Fell into the Abyss with a silver arrow through his throat.
See Celeste's
Memoirs for some more Brand-related complications. Possibly
resurrected or recreated in Faerie, died saving Celeste from Toram,
added to Norton's collection, then acquired a Jewel of Judgment and a
new body. Died (permanently this time?) defending Darkover with Celeste.
- Florimel
- Younger daughter of Oberon by
Dybele. Usually called Flora. Jean's mother by Rainbow
and Amaranth's mother by Mandor. In Chaos.
- Julian
- Younger son of Oberon by Rilga, Zack's father, and a doofus. De-nose-d by a
combination of PCs in Norton's body; nose is currently believed to be
somwhere dusty, probably in Pearl. Hopefully being converted to
Dworkinetics by Hamster Dworkin in Vanir's Wrath.
- Gerard
- Younger son of Oberon by Rilga, father
of Velaria and Duncan. Spam, spam,
Pattern, and spam. Sleeping it off in House Moonlight.

Chaosians
The GM's
list
of the major individuals, houses, guilds, and guildmasters in the Courts
of Chaos.
- Suhuy
- the Logrus Master and all-around cool
guy. Taken away by the Serpent and
replaced by his apprentice, Ilkandacian. The past and current Suhuy has
returned from the alternate universe he was promoted to by the Serpent,

in hillbilly Amber and was then killed by his younger brother in our
reality.
- Shiryu
- the Realms Master of the Courts of
Chaos.
- Ferethyn
- the Realms Mage of the Courts of
Chaos. Also known as Fereth. Ferethyn is fine,
perfectly fine. Jenoir and Andron sacrificed themselves so that he might
escape from Cataan. Really.
- Melchizedik
- the Time Lord, often called
Mel, and commonly referred to the by the logger as
Melk. A liar.

were moved to the pie tree reality in a vain attempt to stop the
process.
- Iain

- Shirest
- First of the Healers Guild
- Toram
- Former Guildmaster of the Mages
Guild. His body was killed in Suhuy's lab, his soul was killed in

nearly dead enough -- his essence was hiding in the Spiral of Cobalt,
and is still hiding in a number of Morganti kittens, and possibly some

running House Sawall (and the Council of Houses) despite having
relinquished all claim to the House in the past. Amaranth's father.
- Pharaban
- Head of House Pharaban. Reeks of
ancient, anti-entropic magic. Very powerful. Primary form of a primodial
spider. Mostly aloof from House politics. Currently playing Superman
and holding the Logrus train tracks together while Suhuy fixes them.
Little known information: Old Lord. Formerly apprenticed to Suhuy. Ran
Chaos for a while when things weren't to his liking, and then
established the Council of Houses so he wouldn't have to bother running
things again. Known to have consorted with Titania, and it has been
rumored that Titania is his daughter. It has been rumored that he moved
Chaos at some point -- he towed it away from something, before there was
a Pattern or an Abyss. Some people swear that he is a congealed branch
of the Sea of Chance, not a person. Nobody has ever returned from his
set of Black Zone kingdoms without his permission. Realms Lords have
been known to consult him.
- REN
- Former Head of House Cara, formerly
normally referred to as Cara. Resigned as House-head to
accept an apprenticeship under Rainbow, leaving either his son Vladiochi
or his nephew Ilkandacian in charge, depending on whom you ask and
when. Currently running either the Dancers' Guild or the Shifters' Guild
in Rainbow's absence in alternation with Flora.
- Vladiochi
- Son of REN, Head of House Cara, and
first cousin to Ilkandacian. Called
Vlad by his friends. Was scattered and Pattern-stapled
across the Courts and nearby shadow and tainted by Gwen, but was
reassembled by Ilk and Norton and pronounced clean after Gwen's
destruction. For a brief period of time, Ilk was wandering around in
Vlad's shape, pretending to be his cousin.
- Tercarn
- Recently raised to Head of House
Helgram after all of the former leaders were deposed after Toram was
defeated. Killed by plotters within House Helgram (we think) and
replaced by his second, Neville.
