			Just a tad on the geography of this realm because one of the cousins, Vance of course, made a trip there and did something unusual. He brought his companion, not unusual, and two jet speeders with their camping gear. It had never occurred to me, nor anyone else it seems, to explore more then a few days horse ride from the spot the card delivers you.

			The Great Gorge is certainly the most well known place. Within 500 miles of it on either side is a east/west ridge of vast waterfalls. Above it is a lush plain stretching further then we cared to explore when love was on our minds. It seems that a thousand miles north of the divide is a mighty lake, fed by an even greater snowy mountain range. This volcanic range dumps lava north, melting the snow that falls year round. A very dynamic water system, a friend of mine told me when i described it.

			This lake blooms a dozen rivers each miles across to flow down toward the Divide. They splinter into smaller streams that create the waterfalls.

			South of the divide is the verdant forests, woodlands, and meadows that we have all come to love and to love in. Six hundred miles to the south the rivers start reuniting as they bunch into a vast collections of lakes braced by a third ridge of low mountains and hills. These are more rock-piles then mountains and they trickle the water down to a beach unlike any i had seen before. They show an active water system having washed away light soil from hard stone.

			A new areas for fun have been found.

			The Beach is about 2000 miles long and at most 20 miles deep from the Third range to the crystal blue sea. The rives flow into the ocean creating fresh water trickles into a lightly salty sea. The beaches vary between white, gray, blue, pink, coral, golden, and black sands. Its very impressive.

			What Vance found was a region of numerous white water rapids of great complexity from the First ridge to the Second Ridge. He and i recently ran a few and i think i may start charting the good ones.

			The rock climbing at the Third Ridge is challenging as well for freehand work. There are caves worth exploring in all three Ridges.

			And of course the beach.

			When Vance and I showed all this to Random his comment was "There goes the neighborhood"

			For centuries that we elders knew of it an informal rule has been build nothing permanent here. Tent, yurts, Tippies, Vardo wagons, and such were the norm if more then a blanket was needed. Random has codified this now. He has rulled no digging, not building, except for Unicorn shrines.

			I think he knows something we don't.

	Well it comes as no surprise to me to find that this calm and benevolent woman is admirably able to defend herself. It should surprise no one who is familiar with Amber that this woman has a past. She hales from an Amber where she once sat the throne of Amber. She bears a mighty strong Shade Imprint and a respectable Broken Pattern Imprint. She is also a skilled adapt of Mal at Riess wizardry as well as a few dozen other magical disciplines. She told me recently that her Amber was destroyed in the distant past of my own Amber and that she once traveled with Oberon, though entirely platonicly. I'm not buying it. I knew Oberon.

			That she sat the throne of her Shade Amber in an ancient epoch scares me. I think she is a shadow of Finndo. Her fall then would be an echo of Finndo's brief and turbulent reign and his own fall.

	In her travels she was once an Arch-druidess and when her world was destroyed she didn't leave her love behind. Adrian is attempting to lure her to Mandalay but she isn't interested so far.

	When i told her i was writing a blurb for her trump card she told me exactly what I could say about her without pissing her off.

	Vonny the leprechaun is a frightened creature with a problem. Quiet, haunted, and uncommunicative. She efficiently tends the animals, the array of herbs, and the tea pot fires. She avoids conversation at nearly all costs save a ''yes,sir.'' or a ''No, ma'am'' or ''I'll get Lissel, Sir''. Let it go at that.
