The Amber Family Tree - Work in Progress

[PotatoJedi]

I don't know too much about it so I would appreciate any input as to how all of the Amberites/Others relate to each other. Here's what I have so far:

[Fantômas]

Corwyn and Random are brothers. Fiona and Flora their sisters. Julian and Bleys also their brothers. Martin is Random’s son. Vialle is Randoms wife, however is not Martin’s biological mother. . Currently travelling so cannot check notes as to who else I’ve met and what their colours are.

[Jaypay]

How did you blokes travel to Amber before? Is there a portal or trump card to return?

[PotatoJedi]

Thank you, Joshua. I'll update the tree once you get the rest of your notes.

We originally found Amber and The Pattern by travelling through the shadows with the help of Dryders, interdimensional traders. They love the special sauce Kahlua which Doc (somehow) knew about and I'm assuming traded with them for travels. The party travelled for several months and eventually found a captain of a ship that knew the way to Amber. There they met Mel who showed them how to walk The Pattern and create Trumps. (note: this is before my time. This information was provided to me by Joshua.)

The rest of us as far as I know have since Shadow Walked whenever we needed to go there. We were also given a small house by Random so we had a place to stay. We paid 2 cleaners/servants to keep the house tidy and stocked while we are away – their service was paid for a year in advance, so there is only a few more months remaining (I do not know if we still even have access to the house). Some of us (including myself) have a trump of the house for easier access to Amber. I do not believe anyone has been back there and if the "warning" we were given by the "kid" is anything to go by, we should not be going back there any time soon (see "The Big Picture" thread for that information, page 3).

[Fantômas]

Flora - colours green & blue(?)
Bleys - red & Orange
Mel - fay type quality, youngish woman, flowers in hair, blue-green eyes. Wore green and gold clothes. Lineage unknown (asked Random and he said he did not know)
Fiona - Short height (5'2") red haired, green eyed. Colours - green, lavender, purple (?)
Brand - Another brother. Swade's father

Updated. If anyone has more information, share it and I'll add it in.

Something else to consider with the colors or heraldry...

Some of the kingdoms we've encountered in Tri-K, Genovia, etc seem to have some similarties in their colors and may be controlled by members of the royal family of Amber.

From what I remember, some of them amber blokes would go out into different shadows and play kingdom builder for fun in their downtime.

The only ones which seem to be particularly colour-coordinated are the ones from the Commonwealth of Zamora. This is what I have on them:

Guards: dressed in red.
Merchants: gold and white.
Beast tenders: Brown and green.
The peasants appear to be wearing “King Louis the Sun King”-era style clothing. Roughly 15th century. The Grandfather Clock is from the same time period.

  Where can I find the Dryders?

For example, when I was in Barter town, something about the flags stood out to me...


- Green, White, & Blue Stripes: Genovians (Flora?)

- Red field, golden triangle, black anchor - Name/Rubicon? (Bleys?)

- Light blue field, Dark blue plus sign, Golden anchor - Westmeade (Steve Zissou?)

[PotatoJedi]

Who's Steve Zissou?

Bleys is red and orange, not red and gold. But the one with Flora, yes. Quite possible link. You will find that many of the things in our universe are connected in some way.

Needs updating with the son of Benedict (recently deceased).

[PotatoJedi]

Thanks… I had totally forgotten about him…

[PotatoJedi]

I don't know where to put Benedict in relation to everyone else.

Does a blue and yellow (or possibly blue and gold) diagonal with a stag ring any bells?

I saw one, but maybe it was just in my mind.
