We found a bit of information on the Death Curse that has been put upon me in Library Land. While it's not directly referencing Amber, one can clearly make several similarities between the two and, given how "everything's connected", one may assume that this information may also carry over to what's been to me.
In other words – I'm fucked. Wonderful. Maybe the beast in question can be looked at as the Unicorn. Sigh. Would be nice if we can get the Unicorn's eye back so that I can give it to him/her/it… Maybe that will be enough to get the blessing.
And before anyone says it – I like my cowardice. It keeps me alive. How the balls am I supposed to overcome that.
Death Curses and other Primitive Superstitions of the Wadi-Wadi by Leopold R. Furburger (his various credential initials actually wrap around to the back cover).
The Wadi-Wadi tribes of North Umberland hold that when a ‘god’ dies in extreme pain or violence, they have the ability to give a ‘death curse’ to their hated enemy or immediate foe. The ‘gods’ of the Wadi-Wadi tribe hence rarely directly fight each other and spend most of their time leaving passive aggressive ‘post-it’ notes. Some even eat the special lunch that a different god has prepared despite that god carefully putting their name upon it. It is held by witch doctors of the Wadi-Wadi that there are three main ways that a ‘death curse’ might be removed:
1. Getting a direct blessing from the Big Beast of Blaat - the three headed (mouse, monkey, hippo), lopsided god-beast of the gods of the Wadi-Wadi who it was said did their accounting and is himself given credit for triple entry book-keeping.
2. The disadvantages of the death curse are planted within the negative personality traits of the target - avarice, cowardice, cruelty, etc. If someone is able to rise above those to the very apex of their personality the death curse may be weakened or absolved.
3. Give it a couple hundred years, it tends to fade. This is considered an annoying amount of time, even among the immortal gods of the Wadi-Wadi.
