We found a more respectable shadow for the glory of knighthood and we spent several decades there in the rise and fall of kingdoms. A shadow of Camelot, the card of which is now in the deck that bears your name. Despite adventures aplenty i found myself always reading. Collecting books in realms that lacked widespread literacy. I was teased for my passion by warriors who could not have read their names on a death warrant. |

He brought me to Amber with the intention that i would be his heir as he took the Throne of Amber. But after a short time it was clear i might be unsuited but he said it did not matter. It would be thousands of years before it would come to pass. Turns out he was wrong. |
So now you come. I have done as you asked. I have no designs on the throne. My father was fairly sure my ruling would be a bad idea. | So now you come. I have done as you asked. I have no designs on the throne. My father was fairly sure my ruling would be a bad idea. | ||

− | + | PS: It occurs to me i should be forthright. Eric had me crowned Prince of the Realm and used the Crown of Amber for it. He had me walk the Primal Pattern wearing the Jewel of Judgment and attune myself to it. As you know doubt know an atonement to the Jewel of Judgment can be only erased by its wielder, clearing all attunments of lesser degrees then their own. So mine will not be cleared unless the Eye of the Serpent is returned to its original owner. I know its secrets as deeply as any. Be careful and wary of it. I have held the Pattern Blade Galis, and it will come to me no matter who bears it. I wear the imprints of Amber and Regor, I have the Sigils of [[Bursain]] and [[Mal at Ries]]. I am a member of the Non-Partisan Anti-Agolith Association and I don't know who knows it. I have sat in the Tower of Grief. | |

− | + | Arloxdra. Son of Eric Arlo is a nearly constant resident of the Library of Amber. Holding no official role in the running of the Library he is still almost always there. He can usually be found sleeping in one of the chairs or couches. His world of origin is unknown but his references suggest an Earth/Urth/Earuth/AerthPS World. He writes copious editorials on works from the libraries that he mostly picks at random. He is meticulously clean, despite having piles of books near where he sleeps and writing material spread over some table nearby. When asked he admits that he has rooms upstairs someplace but he can't concentrate there. | |
