The Rabsan shadow system is a warlike collection of shadows.

Racially there are a few general standards. Strong green teeth used for tearing and masticating raw meats. Blue, black or greenish skins. A condition similar to albinism that causes bright red skin, teeth and hair.

While there are a shifting number of royal lines and kingdoms they are all allies of Amber. None have any desire to rise to the status of royal domains or members of the Golden Circle or the Empire of Amber. They have an insular desire to remain separate and continue fighting among each other.

However, many of the realms supply troops to the Empire of Amber. The forces of Amber have something close to 3% of their military as native Rabsans. Rabsans have served as members of the General Staff, City Police, Elites, and other military duties, often for the 30 years required for an individual to gain citizenship in the Kingdom of Amber. One Legion[[1]] and one Fleet[[2]] of the Amber Military are specifically Rabsan

After such service they return to their own warlike enclaves in the Rebsan shadows where their military talents are put to use.

One clear mandate among Rabsan military dynasties and forces are four distinct guiding principles.

  • Collateral Damage is a waste of supplies:
    • Merchant activity is not a valid target.
    • Farming communities are not a valid target.
  • Royal and Noble titles are respected across battle lines.
    • Messengers or diplomats with a royal or noble sigil are not valid targets.
  • Wounded or Convalescent forces are not valid targets.
    • Prisoners of War are not valid targets. Parole is absolutely respected.
  • All Rabsan forces defer and respect the Kingdom of Amber.

"Valid Target" is a very important term to the Rabsans
