Paris Ashlurian

The Lord Mayor of Amber City. As such he is on a first name basis with nearly all the family and is considered a close friend of the family. The number of pies he has his fingers in is truly astounding. He is a genial crook.

Salvador Kesht

SalvadorKesht.jpg

Head of House Kesht

A leader on the Banker's Council of Amber. He heads the House Kesht with his wife Elizabeth, called Elspie, one of Amber's major trading houses. Board-Bank of Amber. As Economic Deputy Steward he oversees Amber's financial affairs. At Patternfall he was balding and showing his age, well over 800. He commanded an Archer's Regiment comprised of members of his merchant staff. Not a known warrior, He surprised many people with his steady resolve at Patternfall. He stood the charge of a regiment of Hellcats, calmly shooting them down, securing the left flank. For this action he earned Benedict's surprised respect and an even more shocking Knighthood on the field.

Their story is something of a favorite in court. Since aging seems to be a function of will for mortals in Amber, as the zest for life rises the person grows younger, as it dwindles they age. This leads people to find a physical and emotional age they like and stick with it a long time. The average lifespan for mortals in Amber who never gain sufficient zest in life is still around 400 years. Yet, there are numerous cases amongst the rich and poor alike of people living a thousand, two thousand, three thousand years and more.

Thus Salvador and Elspie. Before Patternfall these two well-respected people were on the declining side of 800 and seemed near death. Then Salvador went to Patternfall, prepared and willing to face the foe and accept death. When he returned to Amber he took his shocked wife by storm. Taking her dancing, carousing, and becoming involved in the Amber Military Aide Society, a group that aids veterans of Amber's Military. Soon both started loosing their gray hair, they started walking faster, making love longer, and they grew young again. Now they both look little over 20 years old and their exuberance and their love story makes the ladies of court, and the romantic of heart, swoon.

Aging in Amber

Elspie Kesht

ElspieKesht.jpg

Elizabeth is short, slight, beautiful, with very long, brown hair and very pale blue eye. Reputedly very intelligent, but also very shy, Elizabeth is timid and bookish, and nearly the same age as Salvador. When reading (which is often) wears reading glasses.

Do not let her demeanor fool you. She may be shy, but she is the cutthroat that directs their families business. Rumor has it that cutthroat might not be a mere euphemism. Her sudden youth and gaiety, so out of character for most of her long life, is as much a surprise to her as it is to all of Amber. Deputy Director-Amber Military Aide Society, despite her husband's zealous support of the AMAS he as many other duties. Thus the actual day to day running of the society falls to Elspie. This powerful position means many a veteran owes his livelihood and even his daily bread to her efforts.

Shrike Hag

SHRIKHag.jpg

Kingdom Herbologist and Preeminent witch.

Lives in the North Riding Harbor District in a small apartment compund with an interior herb garden. Holder of a Mal at Riess

Duchess Solange Charenton

SolangeCharenton.jpg

-Head of House Charenton. Kingdom Historian

Head of House Duchess Solange Charenton.

  • Quite an old house, which is linked by marriage to the royal families of a number of important Golden Circle shadows. For this reason they tend to be prominent in trade with those shadows. They have also developed a reputation as diplomats; several of Amber's ambassadors to the Golden Circle are members of House Charenton. In particular Lady Solange's daughters Ellen and Sylvia are married to the Kings in particularly important Golden Circle shadows; Ellen is Queen of Lyan Diaga, Sylvia is Queen of Nan

Lady Solange is a force to be reckoned with. Dumpy, weak, fat, and badly aging woman, she has a keen wit, sharp tongue, an elephantine memory, and a fine sense of fashions she probably shouldn't be wearing. She is Amber's Kingdom Historian and knows more about ancient history than most. At well over 2000 years even her daughters are ancient. A large household, they are nearly out of blood heirs. If Solange dies she may leave the house to one of her two daughters, probably Ellen, neither of who wants it. Lady Solange frequently gains male admirers who enjoy her wit and her sense of style as much as they admire the possibility of inheriting a Ducal House. She toys with them and casts them aside roughly, ruining their careers. In her youth she was a great beauty. It is rumored in dark corners of Amber City that she even bore Oberon a son, but this is unconfirmed.

Ellen Charenton

Queen of Lyan Diaga

Sylvia Charentonn

Queen of Nan

Tyler Smials

Tyler smails.jpg

King's Privy Secretary Keeper of the Privy Seal. Cupbearer.

Meticulous, precise, humorous, and proper all describe Tyler. He tirelessly works at keeping Random on track, never an easy task, and is sometimes whispered to be the real power behind the throne. It is joked that he signs Random's name better and more often then Random does himself. A jest that is not too far off the mark.

Tyler is often the person bringing people into Random's presence, especially if its in the royal quarters. He is one of the few people on the "No Knock List" for the king's door.

Only daughter of the newly ennobled House Ganth. Her birth is revealed here. Alagina of Chaos Event.

Anhieesho Vakal

Anhieesho.jpg

Anhieesho is an example of how strange people from shadow can sometimes end up in Amber. He is a medicine man of a Polynesian sort with great powers. Of an unknown great initiation. A sorcerer, mystic, and all around bizarre individual with only the slightest grip on reality. That might be how he ended up in Amber. Known as an expert on Hexes and Knackery. Known to bear an Mal at Riess imprint he gained after suddenly wandering into Amber on the Jeweled Road.

Lady Ain Breakwithe-Smythe

- Deputy Crown Herald

Ainbreakwithsmythe.jpg

A proper, dignified, snooty, and almost yawningly smarmy woman who has been know to get embarrassingly drunk at the merest sip of gin, Lady Ain Breakwithe-Smythe is a encyclopedia of court etiquette, law, history, heraldry, titles and ranks, and nearly anything having to do with the formal elements of Amber. She can drink gallons of wine, champagne, even mead, but the smallest amount of distilled spirits destroy her. Probably has something to do with her shadow of origin. She is Keeper of the Order of Precedence for Amber. She was the Chief Herald of Amber for 1000 years.

  • She is the grandmother of the current head of House Breakwithe-Smythe. Approaching her dotage in 4750 she retired from public service leaving the house to her heir, Agalos Breakwithe-Smythe. She languished in seclusion.

Suddenly during Eric's Interregnum she emerged from the privacy of the house, young, vital, active, and eager to return to service. The nature of Aging in Amber implies that something suddenly grabbed the interest of this ancient woman and revitalized her.

  • She and Dame Margot are dear friends and Flora dotes on her. Fiona is polite to Ain and has been known to be nervous and jumpy around her. Something happened in the deep past neither Fiona or Ain will discuss, though its an open secret that something occurred. The Ladies
