'''''Special Knowledge Sources'''''  ''Final List for Second Wavers'' 

No more then 20 pips can be bid in the special auctions.  A player may bid on up to 3 of them.  Points bid will give you some standing in each source, but to a greater or lesser degree depending on who wins each auction.   


'''1-Dworkin rambled too much'''
In the post-Patternfall realm of Amber, Dworkin is mostly sane, as any talkative and all-knowing grandfather or great grandfather can be, and is delighted to know his progeny.  He often is willing to sit and talk about the good ole days.  The player who wins this source will be a favorite of Dworkin's who can cozen up to him for tidbits he won't tell others.  Players who invest in Amber devotes and allies will not get Dworkin. He has a great interest in the young people coming into Amber and knows a lot about each of them.  What he's willing to tell is the trick. He is extremely closed mouth.

'''2-Librarian of Amber'''
The Library of Amber is massive.  Immense, on a shadow spanning scale.  The books in the castle are just a start.  The player who gains this source has at his beck and call the Librarian of Amber who will know more random details then google, yahoo, and webcrawler combined. Lesser investments will get assistant like docents and antiquarians that can be very useful.

'''3-Secret Power Source'''
Ssshhhh... its a secret.

'''4-Devoted Cult Following'''
The Amber Cults are an embarrassment to the royalty and nobility of Chaos as they nurse their wounds over losing the Black Road and Paternfall War.  Outlawing them just drove them underground and made them more popular.  The player who bids this source will quickly, if not immediately, develop a large Cult following in the Courts of Chaos.  If this is a Chaoasian player with roots in Amber it could be a very large force of disaffected Chaosians.  Or it could be Chaosians looking to expand into the shadowlands.  

'''5-Paramount Talent'''
This source is a natural nearly unparalleled skill.  Skills would be agreed on but might include an extraordinary skill at musical performance & Composition. Like Mozart.  Cooking;  A natural understanding what tastes good together and how to prepare it perfectly.  Sculptor or artisan. A person could be an extraordinary painter, though they still have to spend the same amount to create trumps. 

----
I am not sure yet how to run the special auctions.  I am looking at two methods.  Player spends points and if they fail to get the source regain them to allocate elsewhere.  Players spend points and if they don't get the source get part of the source.  An amount less then the source winner.  This might manifest as a small cult following, a less then devoted primal creature, a lower church ranking, or a less talkative Dworkin. comments?  Players are not required to bid in the special knowledge auction.
