Editing Civilian City Cohorts (section)

==Commentary on the [[CCC]]==
While the CCC is widely and openly mocked by the nobility and members of the various royal families in Amber and the Golden Circle, among their strongest supporters are Prince Benedict, Prince Gerard, Prince Gerard, Princess Florimel, and Baron Wyndham Feldane-Chief of Police.  The CCC was founded originally by Princess Dierdre in her youth. 
*Prince Benedict says the CCC is vital in time of war in organizing the general public and maintaining order.  They keep spectators away from military actions and are often vital in the transportation of the injured, and to dealing with looters.  They often manage fires that occur during warfare. 
*Prince Gerard claims that the information that a responsible citizenry can provide the military can often be vital.  Maintaining developing situations helps keep tragedies from expanding before the military can become involved.   The CCC naval chapters are especially helpful in reporting areas of piracy.
*Baron Wyndham says the CCC interacts with the city police as volunteers and provide necessary support.
*Prince Bleys says some of the CCC chapters throw incredible parties. 
The CCC is a point of contention among the royal family of Amber. Eric, Corwin, Caine, and Brand were all vocal detractors of the group.  Julian, Gerard, Bleys and Flora have been big supporters, with Julian acting as a judge at the Pas de Arms and Flora often hosting the Grand Ball.  Benedict traditionally attends the Pas de Arms, The Jousts, and the Closing Ceremonies.  He supports the organization in general but is clear about them not being part of the organized military of Amber.

There is a large amateur military culture in Amber that the '''CCC''' are part of.  Considering how long lived people in Amber can be there are many people with long military historys now in other businesses.
