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
Orsolla.The daughter of Oberon and Moiren, once Queen of Rebma. Orsolla is a duchess in Rebma, but rarely attends court. She is a largely forgotten person amongst the Rebman nobility. A name on the list of nobles wh have perpgitives that do not require they come to court. She travels watery shadows as a goddess of nature. She is often found in one for or another as a water spirit, a person of worship in the vast numbers of shadows Rebma casts. She has walked the Pattern.
Borelak. Rough trade. A mercenary. Very tough. Runs in the Rantar shadow systems. Leads a cross-shadow nomadic horde in the millions. Tall at 7'10, broad at 400lbs, strong even by standards set by Corwin, Eric and Gerard. Single-minded as the seas, relentless as erosion, smart as a politician, merciless as death. His refusal to submit to Random is listed as the Story-"Mine is Rage" One day the forces f Amber will have a terrible time dealing with him.
Eric. Strong, Personable, determined, ambistious. This is Eric, who once ruled Amber as its King and is the only King of Amber to die in combat. Now he is dead and buried. His tomb lies next to that of Corwin, on the other side to Deirdre's, on Kolvir. His is the only one inhabited of the three. Recently Eric has been seen wandering the halls of Tir no'gath, as if he were King in Amber, though melancholy.
Corwin. Bold, clever, ambitious, musical, a warrior born. Corwin once wore the crown of Amber, is counted as having served as its king, if only for a moment. His tale is told in his chronicals and many of shadow know of Amber through them. The creation of the Pattern of Avalon has taken all of his time. Rumor is not clear about his plans in Avalon. The scope of Avalon is still uncertain and its creator is not talking.
Evelyn. Will she, nil she, the Lady in the Crystal Tower sends only regrets. Can she, may she, sing brightly though black is all the colors she gets. Brightly, darkly, the Seer of Song sees only the ravens wing aloft. Little is know of her, except she has a great ssadness that touching the cold card in the dack somehow it seeps through.
Deirdre. Bold and strong is the warrrior maiden of Amber. A fair threat to her militant brothers is this militant sister. It was recently revealed in Amber that Deirdre survived her fall into the Abyss. She was separated from Brand and spent a very long time in great duress. The story is that Fleece and his pack rescued her from the Abyss, having fought the Serpent in Wolf-Form, defeating it and carrying Deirdre in her Wolf-form of Deirdre.
Her tomb on Kolvir of course, empty.
Deirdre inhabited the top few floors of a tall tower that abuts onto Kolvir at the west and rear of the castle. While all of the Amberites have dwellings in various parts of the city of Amber, Hers was a very large mansion in the Restaurant district, Bright Edge, which was a known hang out of Amber nobles & notables. She endowed the place to such a degree that 100 years after Patternfall it is still a regular Friday-Saturday-Sunday nightspot. The host is Dame Fres Mira, her factor in Amber.
