Jeweled Amber and the War of Balance

This was a campaign run in 3 sections

  • Call to the Kin: The first campaign was from 1997 to 2003
  • Azcala Rising: The second campaign was 2013
  • The Red Sword Calls: The third and current campaign began in December 2018

By Michael J. Watson, in Southern California.

There is a lot of the information found in this Wiki concerning the Jeweled Amber game is the information available before the game. If however you play in the JR&WoB game consider this information the word on the street, the skinny, the whispers in the dark, the word around the campfire, the rumor i heard Dame Margot tell the Little King Michael in the kitchen, and the same as bold faced lies. Just sayin.

The reason this snip is here is to support the Diners of Amber article.
