Random has a good reason for being nervous about his kin and wanting them to all at least meet with him. He comes by his worry fair. Oberon made the family nervous by nature." |
"First of all, Oberon was not wild about bringing his children here. Some he brought, some he marooned in shadow, some he built hard walls against ever getting here. His reasons lay with him in the Tomb of the Ancestor's of Darkness." | "First of all, Oberon was not wild about bringing his children here.

A strange point of view. Foolish. However, Oberon set a powerful destiny trap like a rushing river to keep certain chhildren from being part of that contest. As I go on I will tell you of Oberon's Broods; The First Brood, called the Monsters, the Second Brood-called the Elders, The Third Brood-called the Castout, and the Fourth Brood, the Unknowns." |

The Monsters are creatures he fathered before he was a person of great might. He had little control over them and many became creatures of great might in their own realms. With some notable exceptions they had little to do with Amber. The Second group, the Elders, he brought to Amber during his leadership of it and intended one of them to rule after him. The Third group he bore at various times after his kingship of Amber began but for one reason or another he did not want them to be involved in Amber, certainly not to rule it. The last were the Unknown, Amberites born late in his time and outside his control. King Random has one child at the moment but has to deal with many relatives. The Line of House Bariman has 3 spur lines: Amber, Vincent, and Verna, but only Amber is under discussion now.” |

The others he all but banished, in my opinion, as unworthy or dangerous. Oscric, Finndo, Borlak, Orosala, and the Monsters comprise the First Brood. He had 47 children we know about and only Eric is dead. Well, Dead dead. A couple of the Monsters straddle the line between dead and alive, but I digress” |

"Evelyn, born around the time Corwin was born though not of the same mother, is said to have been frail, sad, and reclusive, even in Amber. She spent her time in the forests, where she made friend with the deep Fea of Amber. She and Corwin were close, traveling in shadow together, but in time she did not return. | "Evelyn, born around the time Corwin was born though not of the same mother, is said to have been frail, sad, and reclusive, even in Amber.

Then asked the ambassador if he had any sons?" |
