History

In the early days of Amber the region below the fine natural harbor that became the Great Harbor, and its several smaller fine harbors, was a collection of islands, jagged rock, sand bars, and a variety of other natural hazards. At the same time many hazardous rock structures blocked the entrance to the otherwise massive collection of natural harbors. In the year 1189 BKA Duke Oberon and his sons Osric and Finndo undertook dredging and clearing debris and hazards over the course of a century to open the main harbors. The debris was moved south of the hook at Cabel's Neck to open ocean.

In time they began organizing the debris out beyond the region of islands and sandbars to create a breakwater and a defensive ring below the hook of Cabel's Neck creating the Green Water Coves. Islands were identified and waterways opened, vegetation planted. The work of making the Greet Water habitable took centuries as well and all Oberon's Amber Brood up till Dierdre were involved in these projects to one degree or another. Since 200th year of the reign of King Oberon the Green Water has been regularly lived in and the work of clearing hazards has been on going.

Once certain obstacles were cleared, the debris from them forming the Breakers and some of the islands in the Coves, kelp and algae began to grow in great profusion tinting the water in the region green. The area became the homes of many varieties of sea life, including shell fish, tropical fish and sport fish. As residences developed the region became popular for fishing, sailing, swimming and other recreations.

In 1180 BKA the royal residence called Cymnea's Keep was established.
