Cymnea has a complex and convoluted history as the first queen of Amber. After ruling for a thousand years as queen and delivering four sons, it was discovered that she was also a daughter of Oberon and therefore sister to her own children. The child Borlak was the cause of Oberon's researches into certain magical issues concerning his behaviors. Upon discovering the causes and the relationship to Cymnea, Oberon dissolved the marriage abruptly and enacted the Consanguinity Laws relating to marriages between relatives of house Bariman. Bitter and hurt, she retired to massive estates in Thulusia at Al a Marat. She has rarely left, though is often visited.

A strong and dynamic woman and a great queen who aged badly. Never the less she and Oberon had a mostly political marriage that he dissolved when he met Paulette. Divorced and bitter, she left Amber and retired to shadow. Her whereabouts are not public knowledge. her treatment is a source of long bitterness between her sons and Oberon, as well as with Random.

Harla or Lora.

 Mother of Delwin and Sand.  Queen with Oberon

Status-Deceased

A small, frail woman from deep in shadow, her religious faith was out of place among the ladies of the court who treated her badly despite her rank. She retired to a fast time shadow and passed away. Her children Sand and Delwin grew bitter over her treatment and left Amber, rarely to return till Random became King.

Clarissa

Mother of Bleys, Fiona, and Brand.  Queen with Oberon

Status-Living in Regor

Fiery and bright, dangerously wicked and wickedly funny. Part of the ruling line of the Empire of Regor, she and Oberon had a tumultuous relationship. Divorced and bitter, she disappeared after Brand walked the pattern the first time and has never returned to Amber.

She is known to have a Broken Pattern Imprint as well as being a Mal at Riess sorceress but she learned these skills while queen. She was recently discovered to be the wife of the Czar of Regor and the mother of numerous children by him. Fiona and Bleys refuse to speak of her.

She was involved the the Siege of Bunny Free

Paulette

Mother of Giovanni, Random, and Mirelle. Queen with Oberon.

Status-Deceased A friendly, open and vivacious woman who was considered high strung at first by the court ladies, yet in her short time as queen she developed many deeply devoted friends. Born in Bursain, she spent a great many years, and bore three children to Oberon in Florence, Italy.

She was a paramour of Oberon's throughout his marriage with Clarissa. After the explosive end of Oberon and Clarissa's marriage she was brought to Amber along with her young son Random. Her daughter Mirelle was briefly in Amber and reacted badly to proximity to the pattern and placed in safe keeping.

Her oldest son, Giovanni, had left to travel shadow before Oberon brought Paulette to Amber.

However she was deeply flawed and considered by many unbalanced and perhaps insane. She committed suicide in a spectacular fashion rarely spoken of except in hushed manners.

Dybele

 Mother of Flora. Queen with Oberon

Status-Deceased

Little is known of her and her shadow of origin. Oberon brought her to Amber pregnant and near term. They were married immediately and she riegned for 3 months before giving birth to Flroa and dying. She was tall and blond, and many say that Flora favors her. Flora was raised mostly by Dame Margot.

Vialle.

 Queen With Random. No Children. Current Queen of Amber

Status-Living

A noble of the house Moir Alaes, a cousin of Duchess Kiessa Val, ruler of Moins. Blind from birth, though an expert in mirror magic, she was a charming member of Queen Moire court. Unfortunately her blindness made her an unattractive marriage prospect.

When Corwin and Dierdre and Random came to Rebma in the early portions of the Black Road War, Random was under a death sentence for his involvement with Moire's daughter Morganthe, who committed suicide in her grief. Moire demanded that Random marry Vialle for one year in reparation. The connection to the Amber family, even if the marriage was ended, would greatly improve Vialle's marriageability and standing in court.

To everyone's surprise, Random's the most, the pair fell deeply in love. When Random was imprisoned by Eric for attempted assasination she joined him in prison. They spent 4 months together in an 8x12 cell. This situation made enraged Rebma officially and made the most common of Rebman very angry. After a short time Eric released the pair and converted his sentence to something akin to house arrest.

Random's sudden elevation to the throne brought this insightful and charming woman to the throne of the great realm. Rebma has become a devoted follower of this blind queen. While Rebma has always been Amber's closest ally and nearest neighbor, a Rebman Queen has brought the realm of Rebma to the doorstep of allowing itself to be annexed by the Kingdom of Amber, which many nobles of both realms believe is inevitable.

Astrid.

Mother of Derek and Arloxedra. Queen with Eric. 

Status-Living

Considered Queen of Amber in all but the most official records. There is no record of their marriage having been formalized in Amber though they both claim to have done so privately. There are records of a legal marriage between them on the Shadow realm of Andal. She was never formally crowned and while she sat in the queens throne during Eric's reign and served as queen, was spoken of and introduced as Queen, and styled herself in writing as queen, many consider her a mere consort.

There are many who called her "Eric's Concubine" behind Eric and her back. There is considerable bitterness in Amber towards her.

The problem is that the extreme difference in ages between Arloxedra and Derek show that Astrid had been a part of Eric's private life for thousands of years. Eric had never brought her to Amber before and her existence was a secret until after Eric became King. Only Corwin, Borlak, Benedict and Fiona knew of her before then. Presumably Oberon did as well. When magical methods are used Queen Astrid detects as married to Eric. The Church of the Unicorn is adamant that their marriage was not legitimate and refused to ofiaciate if she was officially crowned. The rumor was that Eric crowned her privately.

After Eric's death she left and retired to Eric's estates in Thalusia, where her son Derek dotes on her. The bitterness between Arloxedra and Derek has some unknown causes most likely but his refusal to visit Astrid is a large vocal part both men admit.
