Heirs and spares
This work was originally designed for the Jeweled Amber Campaign. As it is listed here however it is being updated for the Jeweled Road and the War of Balance campaign.
House Bariman- Orriginally a House of Chaos, founded by Dworkin Bariman, a contender for the seat of the High Lord of Chaos.
Dworkin's Heirs and Spares
This is a compendium of the Heirs of Dworkin and House Bariman. It has no say over the allegiances of those represented.
The names in itallics are not included in King Random's Deck
Dworkin Bariman
Sons of Dworkin- Oberon-King of Amber. Founder of the Kingdom of Amber, creator of the City and Castle of Amber. Last known to be at rest, if not totally dead, in the Tomb of the Ancestors of Darkness Vincent-A painter of great talent. Committed Suicide.
Children of Oberon-
Fleece. A Lord of Mandalay, once of Chaos. A giant Wolf.
Adrian. Lord of Mandalay. The first child to be raised by Oberon and Dworkin.
Cymnea. Born in ancient Thulusia. Became Queen of Amber and bore Osric, Finndo and Benedict to Oberon. A mighty sorceress and an ex-queen of Amber. Daughter of the Ruling Queen Symnea of Thelusia. Cymnea bore Oberon 3 sons before he discovered he had fathered her centuries before. It was soon after their marriage was dissolved that the Consanguinity Laws were enacted.
Aside from the controversy around their kinship, Cymnea was a good queen of Amber. In the earliest of days she formed the Court of Amber and supported the growth of the City and Nation of Amber during 10 centuries that Oberon was calming Shadow. Many Noble Houses bear Warrants of Title where her name is higher than Oberon's, denoting a Grant awarded while he was away. Even after her banishment he did not demote these houses or cancel town charters. She currently lives in a secluded monastery that she has not left for centuries. However, this does not hinder her from being the "Elephant in the Living Room" of Thelusian politics. She has walked the Pattern
Av Reet. Lord of the djinn. A creature of great magical powers with fingers in many power sources.
Eater. This monster is an abomination to Amber. It is a creature of vast evil, devouring hunger, and limitless cruelty. This Dark God of the Undead effects tens of millions of shadow veils as the ultimate evil, the eater of the dead, and the destroyer of worlds. A massive figure, over twenty feet tall, can rip apart the strongest of creatures using arms and teeth. It spreads fire and quakes and the plague wherever it walks. It has a formidable sense of its own survival that is heightened animal cunning and not the intelligence of a man.
It is immune to non-magical weapons, immune to gasses, poisons, and most elemental attacks such as fire, water, cold, and electricity. It fears nuclear fire but it is not clear why since it does not seem to damage him. He has not walked the pattern.
Hinarik. This dark necromantic sorcerer is mad beyond compression. He controls a Black Zone shadow that he fills with the corpses of the dead. For a hundred shadow veils around his stronghold the dead magically disappear and arrive in his realm, where he performs dark rituals and they join his Army of the Dead. Behind the Gate of Snakes wait his horde for the day they are freed and they may follow him to the utter destruction. His main beef seems to be with Black Zone Pact Instrument Kingdoms. He leads his undead into their cities, laying them low, until the powers must act. For him neither matters, the dead all return to him as it is. He can get more uses out of them. Death is no reprieve from Duty. He has not walked the pattern.
Vox. This magnificent beast is the mightiest of the Dragons of Shadow, casting shadows of dragons from one end of shadow to the others. Nearly all the dragons of Chaos have either a grudging respect for Vox, or are openly Amber Cultists of his. Not directly an enemy of Amber, he has had little conflict with Amber over the centuries. Oberon is said to have actually flown Vox in combat. He is amoral but not necessarily amoral-evil. He looks where he and his kind might profit. Gigantic barley describes him. A body length from neck to nuts is 200 meters, every millimeter of it encrusted with precious jewels.. Tip to tip, his wings are 600 meters across and can create devastating buffets of wind, mixed with his fiery breath. His tail is 300 meters and capable of precise movements. Random claims that Vox has assayed the Pattern at least once.
Nalshik. Among the Monsters of Amber is found the Spider Queen. A daughter of Oberon in a very dark world. Ganthri is the ruling shadow of a collection of a thousand interlocking realms. Nalshik rules Ganthri. Her bite is poisonous and her mother almost certainly came from Chaos. She is a ferocious predator, a living black widow spider and a nymphomaniac. Unlike the spider she does not necessarily kill her mates. She tends to like to keep them around as long as they are useful and playful. She dominates any of her own shadows she can find, slay those she could not break, enslaving those she could. She is the ultimate narcissus. She has walked the Primal Pattern, as well as having assayed the logrus, Mal at Riess, Sigil of Bursain.
Osric. The first Son of Amber. Osric was Oberon's main assistant in the creation of the State of Amber. He laid the cornerstone of the Castle Amber. Thought to be dead for most of Amber's time he was discovered to be alive during the Patternfal War and afterwards briefly came to Amber. He rendered his fealty to Random then returned to shadow.
Finndo. His trump shows the ex-King of Amber as he broods on his troubled throne. He ruled Amber after Oberon's disappearance. He was claimed to have been destroyed on the Pattern, but also returned out of the depths of shadow to render his fealty and then disappear.
Benedict. The Weapon Master of Arms for Amber. Marshal of the Armies of Amber. In the Patternfall War he assumed the command of the forces of Amber under King Eric I and defeated the forces of Chaos. Random offhandedly confirmed his continued command of the military of Amber in an incident that confused him so much that he did not realize he was agreeing to serve as Marshal of Amber until after he had done so. Benedict is still pretty sore about this. He and Random discussed this privately, with a mere 50 surreptitious listeners, and despite Benedict's debating skills Random won the case when he told him he should "feel free to leave Amber defenseless at any time he liked and to return to his orchards and rose gardens." Ever since Benedict acts extremely correctly in Random's presence. He has walked the Pattern many times
