Amber is the great city, the one true place of which all are shadows and broken reflections. The siblings Barriman squabble over it, and in the process, show their flaws and the high points of their characters. Come in and meet the cast. They are mostly to be found in the books by Roger Zelazny, on which the Amber Diceless RPG is based. Others here were created for the game, either as characters, or as background.

Of all Amberites, everywhere, Dworkin was the first of the blood of Amber. He called the worlds into their current shape when he made the Pattern. According to Unicorn Creed, in the beginning was the word, and Dworkin is the one who spoke it. He is the father of Oberon, and of sheer mystery.

Dworkin's son Oberon did not lack in his father's power, and for years uncountable, he ruled Amber. He married many times, and had many mistresses, fathering a surprisingly small number of children. He died in remaking the Pattern, and although coming back from the dead is all the rage right now, he has not been spotted since. We shall not, with luck, see his like again.

The wives and descendents of Oberon

• Cymnea, first wife
• Osric, deceased
• Finndo, deceased
• Benedict. The oldest surviving son of Oberon, and technically the only man to hold the title "Prince Barriman".

Fathered:
• Dara Sawall


• Merlin
• Leonard
• Jurt
• Chance


• Nightingale

• Faiella, second wife
• Lord Eric, deceased - illegitimacy clouded his heart, if not his mind. Oberon's marriage to Faiella was not officially recognised until his marriage to Cymnea had been annulled
• Prince Corwin is Eric's younger and legitimate brother. Much given to introspection and hard action, with very little rest in between. He wrote his own Pattern, which was destroyed by Brand.

Corwin fathered:
• Merlin
• ? William
• Risk
• Midnight
• Motive
• Aneirin
• Princess Deirdre, deceased, was the youngest of the three children of Faiella.

Bore:
• William
• Risk

• Clarissa, third wife.
  • Prince Bleys, deceased, is thought not to be so deceased as was previously thought.
  
  Fathered:
  • Slaine
  • Princess Fiona, deceased. Fiona was killed in the explosion which destroyed Amber Castle and began the Great Plague.

Shortly after Fiona's birth, Merina, a mistress, bore Princess Llewella. She was officially adopted by Oberon, but she is a Princess of Amber's Reflection, Rebma, the city of secrets.

• Prince Brand was born after Llewella, as Oberon and Clarissa sought to patch up their marriage. It is generally agreed that this was a bad move.

Fathered:
• Rinaldo (Luke)
• Hazard Kashfa
• Beorn
• Shard
• Moradin
• Benji
• Eagle

Clarissa, by now old and out of favour, was divorced and dispatched to a far-off shadow.

• Rilga, fourth wife
• Unknown. One child died young, although there are rumours it was a son born while Rilga was married to a Shadow King
• Prince Caine, deceased, was in the same position as Eric, but his birth was formally recognised by Oberon, and he was adopted.

Fathered:
• Jessica, deceased
• Aurora, deceased
• Others
• Enoch
• Gerard is widely thought of as the strongest man in the world, and discussions on his wrestling match with the Incredible Hulk revolve around how lucky the Hulk was not to make him angry.

Fathered:
• Brion
• Prince Julian is unknowable, and always has been.

Fathered:
• Felix, deceased

• Dybele, fifth wife
• Princess Florimel is the best-looking member of a handsome family.

• Deela, sixth wife
• Random, believed deceased

Fathered:
• Bronwyn
• Benji (Moradin Benjamin Kashfa)
• Helena
• Martin

• Various Mistresses
• Dalt

Fathered:
• Myrra. This ex-captive of Benedict, who hates her father's murderer and former captor was last seen in the dungeons of Amber, shortly before they exploded.
• Arrym, killed when his father died
• Coral of Begma
• Hazard Kashfa
• Moradin

Uncle Crowley

Crowley was really nasty to look at. And a real bastard, in all senses of the word. He lived basically to be evil to Amberites and provide GM plot-hooks, on the grounds that his nephew Benedict protected his family. Benedict, when very young, went through a lot to stop Crowley's plans, for which Crowley hated him. He also blamed his disfigurement on Benedict. As such, and for driving my plots for nearly two years, he deserves his own paragraph.

Non-Amberite PCs

There was the Royal Assassin. With a twisted mind like his, he should have been a Prince. Now deceased, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Another mystery in Amber is the young(ish) blond man Flora has hanging from her. His name is Llewellyn.
