Editing Interregnum and the Repair (section)

=='''Interregnum'''==

The ''''' Interregnum''''' is the period starting at the death of King Eric on the slopes Kolvir and ending when Oberon sent his children to fight the Battle of Patternfall while he attempted to repair the damaged primal patter.

King Eric had been directing the battle from the slopes of Kolvir and was repeatedly overrun.  In the end he made extensive use of the lightning powers of the Jewel of Judgment to attack ground forces and the power to nullify sorcery. Wounded, and dying, the forces of Amber were saved by the sudden arrival of Prince Corwin with a force of assault weapon armed infantry.  Dispersing the gunnery infantry troops was the final straw that forced Chaos to retreat to the Black Road. Eric then died a hero's death on the Kolvir, surrounded by nobles and royals.  Eventually he gave corwin the jewel, explained how to attune oneself to it, and died spending his death curse on the foes of Amber.

Corwin's forces gave him a powerful bodyguard force and his siblings essentially gave command of Amber to him. Unofficially Corwin is considered by court historians to have served an unofficial Regency and is listed as Regent in the Line of kings. (Despite Corwin having crowned himself briefly during Eric's coronation.  See [[Corwin's Short Reign]]. He oversaw the aftermath of the battle and dealt with the defense of Amber and was essentially acknowledged as King of Amber.  Yet during the month after the battle Corwin had not been crowned.  The Black Road war was rushing on and Corwin had a series of his own troubles as detailed in his chronicles.  

Suddenly Oberon returned to Amber. His adventures are chronicled in Corwin's Chronicles.  Obviously everyone saluted and let him take over.  

He organized things and got the forces of Amber attacking the Black Road with orders to follow it to the Fane of Zilla. He sent Corwin to the Abyss the long way.  He then went to attempt to repair the pattern.  His last act before making the attempt was to summon Osric and Finndo from their places in shadow to Amber.

===Oberon's Last Court===
The last court of King Oberon was a small one with a few members of the family and court who had not already been given orders.  The galleries were filled with courtiers, guards, castle staff. 

Oberon spoke quietly with a small group.  Prince Arloxedra, Prince Osric, Prince Finndo, Lady Elayne, Lord Truman, Allen Dormain-Kingdom Herald,Honosal Moir Tral-Ambassador of Rebma,  [[Dame Margot]], Dart of Hale, Ivor Venway-Chief Priest of the Unicorn, Ciprian Vitalijus-Chief Librarian, Paris Ashlurian-Mayor of the City of Amber, [[Tyler Smials]], [[Lady Ain Breakwithe-Smythe]], Dworkin, Lady Vialle-Prince Random's wife, and three unknown people.  Three Elites and three soldiers were also present. 

He spoke quietly to them and they responded in course.  He handed the Crown of Amber to Dame Margot, the Scepter to Allen Dormain, his signet ring and the seal of Amber was given to Tyler, and a red jewel to Prince Finndo.  He then knighted the three soldiers and raised them to the Elites. 

Exiting, he turned to Arloxedra and in the hearing of all told him to stay in the Library. 

After that he, Dworkin, Ivor, Osric and Dame Margot left the throne room Oberon was not seen again till he was placed on the caisson and taken to the Courts of Chaos.
