*<span style=color:purple>Commentary by Benedict-Bleys, I knew very well the size, location and style of Castle Arden. I was part of the group that originally constructed it. Its a Jewel of Judgment construct that Oberon laid the cornerstone for himself. Part of the effect of the place is to cause people who visit it to soon start forgetting the details of the place. Not to put a fine knife in your chest over it, Oberon did not want you, Eric, Corwin, Borlak, or Gerard to know too much bout the place so none of you were invited to attend ceremonies there. in a way, Julian was entrusted with Adren, and its castle, because Oberon knew that Julian's ambition led elsewhere. Had you claimed the throne, and made it stick, I am sure you would have learned of the place. but you did not. Random did. It was his call to put the trump in the deck. </span> | *<span style=color:purple>Commentary by Benedict-Bleys, I knew very well the size, location and style of Castle Arden.

*The Cabri Carts are the best snack carts to be found anywhere, with a vast profusion of finger foods and drinks. Each is staffed with a stand-up comedian or improvisational actor auditioning for parts in the established theaters. Auditions might take years as they dispense portable potables. The results are outrageous, profane, bizarre, often morbid, and hilariously funny. You have to give Adrian credit to have this in mind when he carved the Mark. | *The Cabri Carts are the best snack carts to be found anywhere, with a vast profusion of finger foods and drinks.

*The Resheika Theater presents only works by Shakespeare, Alvian, Dresir, Mondolian, Aristophanes, Shaw, Arthur Miller and the famed, and well-respected dramatist, Bleys of Amber. I was there once and, honest to the unicorn, I caught a performance of one of my own works, from my early years. I was overwhelmed. The Resheika Troop does only the highest of class productions. | *The Resheika Theater presents only works by Shakespeare, Alvian, Dresir, Mondolian, Aristophanes, Shaw, Arthur Miller and the famed, and well-respected dramatist, Bleys of Amber.

Seeing the Butcher-Wizards work is a gristly experience in bloodletting. A powerful spell kills the beast painlessly, then separates the contained parts into piles. Everything is used and sold. It figures that the Calro would develop so friggin useful a spell. It works on any meat animal. Imagine... | Seeing the Butcher-Wizards work is a gristly experience in bloodletting.

The trump delivers you outside a southern entrance called Rilor Gate. The first Chamber on the left, is a single Restaurant. It is the shadow-famous eatery called Oberon's Fire. A never-failing barbecue cooks huge slabs of meat for easy eating. Potatoes, and a wide selection of vegies mix up a menu consisting of 4 or 5 different type of meats, dominated by Buff steak. A giant chicken-like bird called Fetrry is a close second to buffalo. Alligator, snake, and a collection of huge fish round out the meats of the menu. Snake is a common meat animal in Calrabon, being about 8 feet long and a foot wide. Snar snake tastes like chicken but really, really good chicken. |
I recommend the Buff slab 3; a full 2-inch thick, 16-inch wide cut, cooked to choice and ready to go. A meal fit for an Amberite. The Fet Cut 2 is a breast of fetrry a foot long, and 8 inches wide and thick. Juicy. Try the Snar Cut 3, a plate of 60 or so cut strips, with 5 different dipping sauces. I don't like the alligator myself but it has it devotees, and the fish is pretty good too. They make a halibut ceviechee that is magnificent. | I recommend the Buff slab 3; a full 2-inch thick, 16-inch wide cut, cooked to choice and ready to go. A meal fit for an Amberite.

<span style=color:darkgreen>I recently spoke to a newcomer to Amber, Vek Hendrake, one of the Benedict/Lintra line. He says Talosaril has naturally occurring lakes of liquid glass that is rich in magical and Chaosian potency. He says somewhere deep in the sands, possibly miles below the surface must be either a reflection of the Logrus or a very powerful [[Woven Logrus]]. The liquid glass, infused with the power of chaos, remains liquid until specially treated to become solid. Till then certain Chaos spells and rituals use ''Talosara'' liquid glass. Many glass focuses, fortuneteller's balls, reading glasses, magic mirrors and other glass uses in Chaos are glass from here. He claims to have a pair of Rayban frames with lenses that allow him to see clearly in pitch darkness and see invisible beings.
