Jeweled Amber Trump Decks.

There are some groupings of family members that reflect interest or connections if not strictly speaking family relations.

Fleece	Av Reet	Eater
Hinarik	Vox	Nalshik

Av Reet.

Lord of the Djinn. A creature of great magical powers with fingers in many power sources. He is known to have walked the pattern as well as being a master of the Mal at Ries.

This card is not in the King Random's Deck

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 gases, 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 comparison. 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.

This card is not in King Random's Deck

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, and many are openly Amber Cultists of his. Not directly an enemy of Amber, he has had little contact 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. He does not contest the role of Dragon King with his brother Hanvir, though the two are close in size and power though not in experience. Bets are being taken in many places for when these two finally come to claws.

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.

One of the Hounds of Mandalay.

Banidoc: Son of Benedict

:Son of Benedict

Long believed to be a shadow of Benedict serving as his second in command. He was recently revealed to be the son of Benedict and the ancient servant of Amber, Dame Margot. In the foundation days of Amber, Margot, a servant of Dworkin and Oberon, handled the food, cleaning and household details of the small cadre of people living in the land that would become Amber. While Dworkin wrestled with the juvenile(Wild) pattern, Oberon, Osric, Finndo, and Benedict explored shadow, made alliances, built buildings and empires and laid the foundations for the city, castle and nation of Amber. Cymnea helped create the court of the fledgling kingdom. In that time Margot traveled occasionally with each of them and during one of these trips she gave birth to Banidoc, and with Benedict, raised him. Banidoc spent a century in shadow then joined Benedict as his second in command, and all were told he was merely a shadow Benedict had come to terms with. He is strong, and seems almost identical to Benedict, except he has a sense of humor. He is a student of Standup comedians, explaining that their way of communication is the most efficient. Do not let his humor distract you. This is Benedict's first son. He had a sword put in his hand before he was out of his mother's womb.

Doria: Daughter of Benedict

Daughter of Benedict.

Also called Lady. Lady of Charm. Captain of the Black Company, Last of the Free Companies of Khatovar. Slender yet strong, lithe and nimble, deadly, Doria stands 5'3" but don't let her height fool you. One glance in her icy blue eyes and you can see that visions of death and terror of the darkest flavor have passed within. She is taciturn, but when she speaks the wise man listens. Warriors recognize a force to be respected. Wizards sense a sorceress to be feared. Madmen know their own. Doria needs no defender on the field of war. Her enemies may.

Maylon: Daughter of Benedict

:Daughter of Benedict.

House Hendrake . This bitter and aggressive woman is one of the powerful creatures of the Hendrake part of Chaos. The vagaries of time relationships has given this woman time to become a mighty warrior, sour on the sword, and indulge in and become an expert in the rough politics of the Courts of Chaos. She has sources in dark corners of Chaos that she dips her claws in at need.

Benedict/Hendrake breeding program Maylon is the pinnacle of a manipulative breeding program begun when Lintra, a princess of Hendrake, returned to Chaos unexpectedly pregnant after a night of hate-sex with Benedict of Amber. Lintra gave birth and returned battle near the shadow of Lorraine where she severed Benedict's arm below the elbow at the cost of her own life.

Yalla: Daughter of Benedict

Daughter of Benedict.

A daughter of Benedict, though unknown till just recently. The House Ganth is reeling from this revelation. One of the quartet of Benedict's children born in Juniper with Alagina Ganth. The others being Doria, Desri and Maylon.

The strange situation concerning this manipulated conception has been detailed under the Alagina of Chaos Event

Yalla was the child that was raised in the House Ganth estate

Desri: Daughter of Benedict

Daughter of Benedict

Also called Soulcatcher, a sorceress, one of the Ten Who Were Taken.

Visaly: Son of Benedict

Son of Benedict

This son of Benedict was born on Vulsar Base and raised in a technological realm of plenty. And he hated it. Trained as an elite warrior of Amber's Star Fleet, a Total Warrior, he fled after his first walk through the pattern.

He has been spending time amongst the dystopia shadows near Nu Yark

Rinaldo: Son of Brand

Son of Brand.

Also known as Lucas Raynald. A friend of Merlin's on shadow earth and a rival. Currently King of Kashfra, much to his own surprise. His mother Jasra is an ex-chaosian Handmaiden of House Hendrake. A strange set of circumstances has created a nearly identical duplicate of Rinaldo was created. This duplicate, called Luke, is a servant of Corwin's in Avalon.

Truman: Son of Gerard

Son of Gerard.

Truman looks like a twenty something overgrown street punk. His look tends to be very Rockabilly with pompadour and tattoos of women on both arms. He tends to wear a lot of sleeveless bowling shirts and the like. He sounds somewhat like Elvis when he talks. He comes off as generally likable but reserved (unless on stage). He is known to party a lot and is rarely seen with out a gorgeous woman on his arm. Raised secretly in a distant shadow by Gerard he has a strong sense of honor and fair play, one of the few times he is known to go off and kick people's ass is when he catches someone bullying or intimidating others. That is when folk see his wrath. People might dislike his cockiness and flip attitude. But this is a son of Gerard, and that is the bloodline of strength.

Carissa: Daughter of Gerard

Daughter of Gerard

Stuntwoman, actress, Roller Derby Gal

Ghost: Son of Deirdre & the Serpent of Chaos

Son of Deirdre & the Serpent of Chaos.

One of the Hounds of Mandalay.

Geryon: Son of Deirdre

Son of Deirdre.

Geryon stands just over six feet tall and weighs in at 220 pounds. His loose red hair flows down across his shoulders like a bloody mane and his crystal blue eyes sparkle in a face that could have been carved from stone. He is usually found in his personal colors: blue, black and silver. Though his attire changes style from time to time, he always has his black thigh high boots on his feet, and a short curved two-handed sword on his hip.

Houk: Son of Adrian & Sand

Son of Sand & Adrian

Amber has had many a serious player at the game of diplomacy. Many forces of change have come to the shores of Amber and gone down in defeat. Now comes the Ambassador of Mandalay; Houk, Son of Adrian. What has Amber come to? Houk, is a Hoka. Fierce at 3'9". Short tempered but patient. Talkative, inquisitive, intuitive, and dedicated. Difficult. Furry. A teddy with a wicked blade.

Dapper in his Brooks Brothers suit, London Fog coat, and silk top hat. His jeweled walking stick is the golden wood of Ygg, with a knocker of gold sheeting over a purple stone, that glows with power. It bears the face of an elderly man, who sometimes speaks. A mage would see the inscribed sigil on the wood that denotes a weapon bearing the Mark of Mandalay. Adrian wants his ambassador taken seriously. Houk wants his words considered carefully. Dworkin wonders what Adrian was thinking. In the vastness of lands are many races and Amberites skilled in shapechange frequently shift amongst them. In a far past both Sand and Delwin traveled with Adrian, unbeknownst to them, an Amberite himself. In a realm called Hooka they found a lovable race of creative, imitative, impressionable creatures called hookas.

This race had little culture of their own but had at some point been the recipient of a library of books, and in their racial love of drama, assumed in turn the trappings of the cultures, idioms, and even the fashions of the storied, fictional realms contained in these books. In their imitative obsession a culture rose from a double thousand different fictional realms, from a dozen different worlds. In shadow, everything is possible. In this world, 3' to 4' teddy bears live as if they were cowboys, spacemen, dwarves, elves, private eyes, dancehall girls, vikings, crusaders, nadsats, canibers, and more different fashions than can be believed.

In this form, immersed to the point of forgetfulness, Adrian and Sand produced Houk and much to their eventual surprise, despite being able to take other physical forms, he chose to remain a hooka.

Nadine:Daughter of Sand

Daughter of Sand.

Joy in a Semite gown. Happiness on two long legs. This is the Earth goddess walking. A noble in Mandalay and the nicest person in all shadow. She would be overly sweet if it was not for her obvious sincerity. 5'6", 120 lb., robust & hardy, with a dancer's grace and an angel's voice, frequently raised in song. Blond and large breasted, wise, funny, loving, and profound. Small animals devotedly follow her and the nastiest hellcats out of chaos curl up at her feet and purr, bellies exposed. It must be true, everything exists in shadow, even a nice Amberite. Yet...do not let this make you forget; she is Sand's daughter, Oberon's granddaughter, and Dworkin's Great granddaughter, with all that implies. Only Flora seems threatened. And not convinced.

Carlos: Son of Jaques

Son of Jaques

Rene: Son of Corwin & Moire

Son of Corwin & Moire.

Born in Rebma soon after Corwin's return from shadow at the start of the Patternfall War. Raised largely in the seclusion of the Court of Rebma, never openly acknowledged as either Moire's son, nor as Corwin's son. In the 40's year of Random's reign he came to Amber as the Ambassador of Rebma to Amber, and revealed his parentage much to the shock of all.

Merlin: Son of Corwin & Coral

Son of Corwin & Dara.

The Corwin Chronicles found throughout shadow were narrated to Merlin on the edge of the Abyss after Amber's victory in the Patternfall War. After Patternfall Merlin became a frequent presence in Amber and his loyalty is a delicate issue between Amber and Chaos.
