This card is in the deck, but it does not work. 

This is a primal realm created eons before Amber and destroyed eons before Amber. A realm of limited shadows, called Eigenstates, or time paths. The Kangular powered the realm as the Pattern powers Amber. But when you assayed the Kangular you gain the power to travel in Time in Calmir, rather than in shadow. 

I itch just thinking about it.

<span style=color:darkgreen>Addendum

<span style=color:darkgreen>The Primal Realm of Calmir and the Kangular of Calmir are worth a bit more explanation since Dworkin was foolish enough to ramble about it when I was around. 

<span style=color:darkgreen>The Primal Realm of Calmir was created in the dim ancient drapes of time in the unchallenged Chaos and stood for uncounted eons.  Its story is a cautionary tale that even Amber can be destroyed and all but forgotten, its powers and tragedies part of history. 

<span style=color:darkgreen>Calmir was a royal realm lead by a High Lord. Nine High Lords ruled Calmir during its tenure. As the enemy of Chaos it drew the numerous attacks throughout its life. The capital city of Calroos was a grand city of 3 milllion inhabitants in a rich culture that survived for many generations.

<span style=color:darkgreen>The Kangular, the primal construct of the realm, cast 512 eigenstates out from its center. Adapts of the Kangular were able to time travel down the pathways of the eigenstates. Adapts were not able to time travel in Chaos, nor in Paragon, nor, most likely, in Amber. Although the lives of Calmir and Paragon did overlap, both realms had been long destroyed before Dworkin's creation of Amber.

<span style=color:darkgreen>The Dominion of Calmir spread down 175 eigenstates from their earliest births to their ends. It spread down 159 more in one form or another. The Soldiers of the Dominion were familiar sights in many other realms..

<span style=color:darkgreen>Chaos brought jealous bloody red war to the eigenstates and a vast, vain, proud, treacherous and in the end futile, war took place.

<span style=color:darkgreen>In the end. High Lord Swayvil I of Chaos, having slain the High Lord, and most of the princes and princesses of Calmir in battle, dragged the dying High Lady Escheziria over the Kangular and sacrificed her. This darkened the kangular, dropping the eigenstates, killed billions to the billionth power of inhabitants and ending the Primal Realm of Calmir.

<span style=color:darkgreen>The last surviving son and the last surviving Daughter of Calmir survived by hiding in Paragon during the final event. [[Ranvir Calmir]], youngest son of Ganruuk and Kubresea Calmir and his sister, [[Laeessas Calmir]], hid first in Paragon till it fell then fled into the Abyss steps away from pursuing chaos lords. With the rise of Amber they snuck into Amber and hid amongst its shadows. First in the shadows nearest Chaos, being familiar in many ways to them, till they discovered the existence in the shadows of Amber realms that were similar to the fallen realms of Calmir.

====<big>'''The Kangular of Calmir'''</big>====

<span style=color:purple>The Kangular was a primal construct. Created in the dimmest early days of Chaos. It is a construct that casts shadows along a finite path of possibilities. 512 basic frame eigenstates radiate out from the Kangular. Off each basic frame are a vast number of offshoots caused by traumatic events within the realm or by the actions of those attuned to the Kangular.

<span style=color:purple>Adapts of the Kangular can travel back and forward in the timeline of the eigenstate. Can detect offshoots and travel into them. They can back off time around them to a very small degree. General actions near them personally, Assaults, accidents. Many Kangular adapts skilled in alchemy and sorcery use the time effect to reverse effects caused in research.


<span style=color:darkred>(GM-Notes:  This was included as part of a potential high power series of conflicts after PCs had had a bunch of time in game.  Either Ranvir or Laeessas would have a theory how to find a tendril of time that has a tenuous connection back into the time that Calmir existed.  Their endgame was to achieve the change in the time stream to allow Calmir to come forward. This would endanger Everything created after Calmir fell.

<span style=color:darkred> I had a scenario in mind where PCs would hunt down pieces of the Kangular.  They would be powerful chunks of magic boosters.  A piece the size of a quarter giving a minor sorcerer a huge bump in power.  A chunk the size of a football being the base of a strong construct.  a pieces the size of a VW being the power source of a might construct.  Eventually, if enough pieces of the kangular could be assembled, perhaps its eigentstates could be accessed.  Or perhaps Calmir could be restored to full power.  Big points, lots of prizes.))
