==='''The Ob'''===

The term "Ob" also is used in the meaning of obligations in the sense of favors given and favored owed.  The saying "You have a card in the deck" to refer to a political favor would have a confusing meaning in Amber.  Terms like "chip in the Game" or "There's an Ob owed" are used instead.

The stones themselves were created as an aspect of Adrians act of creation and are pointed as bellow.
