This near-Amber shadow has a great deal of casual travel among the Golden Circle kingdoms. Nenton is a trade route hub and distribution center. Most tech works here as does most magics. The standard of living is early space travel despite the availability of better due to the orbiting Amber Star Fleet bases. |
So why put a Newsstand in a world moderately addicted to computers? Because this trade hub of Amber is a hub of information as well.

<span style=color:darkred>((GM-Notes:This was intended to be a big campaign. A Middle-power campaign. Something tough enough to be dangerous to tough cousins and players familiar with the universes history and my GM style. The idea starts with much of what Bleys found. A Shade Realm with a bad history. My thought was one that failed before the actual creation of the Kingdom of Amber. So that the power struggle may not have been dynastic, perhaps not even personal. Just something that happened because all things are possible. It occurred before Eric was born, before everyone else was. Its something that happened when shadows of Oberon, Osric, Finndo, Benedict, Borlak and Clymnea was all that existed of the family of Ambir. It was going to depend on what the PCs in the game turned out to be and how to get them all involved in a campaign together, what the goals and rewards would be. Was it personal disaster between the family members? Was it something that happened at the time of Finndo's time as King of Amber, thus effecting this shade realm? What lesson on cosmology was needed? Where there chunks of power around? The primal pattern of this realm is intact still. Perhaps the PCs would want the pattern itself for construct use, and things could move from there. It would have a variety of shadows of people they would know like Bendict, Osric, Finndo, Borlak, Clymnea, Margot, and others from the dawn of time. Legendary chaosians, Calmirians, who knows. Pity it never happened. Anyway... make of it what you will.) | <span style=color:darkred>((GM-Notes:This was intended to be a big campaign. A Middle-power campaign.

However their strength isn't warfare but produce. Olives and olive oils, grapes and wine, pepper and grains, vegetables and fruits, sheep, goats and fowl. These are shipped in great profusion to Amber since something about the people make them work hard happily producing vastly more then they could possibly ever use themselves. That's probably why Osric found these people in the first place. They eat extremely well as they trade among themselves but they ship long trains of goods to Amber and it turns out their bank accounts are bulging with treasure they have absolutely no use for. Sometimes the places in Shadow are not easy to make sense of unless one understands the [[Question of Infinity]]. | However their strength isn't warfare but produce.

And lastly, much to my astonishment, Lieutenant Trent Lakana- a member of the Elites and a frequent Dungeon guard who I shit you not, I thought was from Begma and who has been a dungeon guard for twenty-one hundred years. I've gotten drunk with the guy, hell of a funny man and he never talks about his homeland. He was friggin assigned to me as an Elite by Good King Random for 5 friggin' years early in my drunken theater days and I've seen him arse deep in showgirls and homemade gin. But he never said more to me then he grew up on a farm and it has been his goal in life to never farm again. |

The general belief is that when Oberon created the place he did so to test theories and methods of pattern construction. This was created long before Patternfall so when Oberon used the jewel of judgment to repair the pattern, at least he had an idea what was involved. | The general belief is that when Oberon created the place he did so to test theories and methods of pattern construction.
