Chaos in its infinite arrogance and its belief in the perpetual might had defeated every threat to it over the uncountable eons. Paragon existed for millions of years and eventually fell before the forces of Chaos. Calmir lasted as long and was defeated. Even the great beast Entropy was defeated and entombed. The Lords of Chaos felt invincible.

When the forces of Chaos aided a cabal of renegades of Amber to foment a war they expected the defeat of Amber to lead to its destruction and the humiliation of it creator Dworkin Bariman, a Prince of Chaos of the ruling line.

Instead, led by Prince Benedict, with the efforts of King Oberon, and most of the Amber Royal Family, the Black Road War headed by the Houses of Hendrake, Helgram, Sawall, Channicut among others, led to a resounding defeat first at the Foot of Kolvir, then down the length of the Blackr Road and finally at Zilla on the edge of the Abyss of Chaos.

The battle was a conclusive victory for Amber with all Chaos houses that participated losing large amounts of troops as well as many members of their leadership.

Amber Cults

The populace of Chaos was shocked beyond belief at their defeat. They began to admire the virtues and histories of various Amberites. Admiration eventually turned to idolization and reverence. The reverence and veneration offended others in the Courts of Chaos and eventually the High Lord of Chaos, Swayvil, declared them anathema and illegal.

Functions of the powers of Chaos acting on the Great Fane of Zila [[1]] caused a great Nave of Zila to the veneration of the members of the royal family of Amber. This enraged the Swayvil but eventually it was clear no amount of force would stope the forces that sustain Zila from offering space to the growing Amber Cults. The High Lord legalized the cults but they remain an object of suspicion and derision as well as passionate enthusiasm.
