Well, about January, 1994, Jason Larke decided to torment a bunch of his friends, using a popular torture instrument known as Amber Diceless Role Playing. He ran the game for many months, turned the magic system on its ear, and then realized that we weren't squirming enough for him, the sadistic little bugger. So, he turned the reigns over to Merrie Haskell, and she proceeded to turn the thumbscrews until we bled.
The game is set about 23 years after the Patternfall war, with the characters being mainly children of the Elders. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, we're 2nd generation. Corwin's history, as related in the book, isn't common knowledge, because, as Jason put it, "Corwin isn't so stupid as to write it all down, and leave it in the library." After over a year of play, Deirdre, Julian, Eric (twice), Random and Finndo were dead, and Brand's body was toast, with his mind surviving inside of an artifact called the Taormin. Random's son, Archimedes, ruled in Amber, Moire ruled in Rebma, and House Wickling ruled in Chaos. The Forest of Arden had been utterly destroyed. Then we had Ragnarok, in which many people were killed during an invasion from Orrin and Chaos. Dworkin sent the few survivors (the PCs, natch) back seven years into Amber's past. Which means that Random is still alive and ruling in Amber, Swayvill is ruling in Chaos, and Julian and his beloved Arden are back. Unfortunately, Brand is also still running around. Guess you can't have everything.
Archimedes: Crown
Prince of Amber, King of Amber in the pre-
Ragnarok history, son of Random and Morganthë, Martin's
older brother, married to Laughter, father of Dakota, Vain,
Alaric, Beatrice and
Chance, grandfather of Sky, great-grandfather of
Isaac and Gareth, wielder of
Song. He has several fragments of the pre-Ragnarok
Jewel of Judgment implanted in his chest, and a strong affinity for the
current Jewel. His symbol is a couple of clown fish amid anemone
tentacles, and his colors are brown and green. He is played by
Wendi Strang-Frost.
Claudio the Moor: Prince of Chaos, member of the Chaos High Council, son of Delwin and Fatima, half brother of Kaedric, married to Sky, father of Isaac and Graham, pawn of Abigail (pre-Ragnarok), played by Robert Frazine (Shade).

Tianen, twin sister of Sylvester, half
sister of Sandr and Maron,
married to Kaedric, mother of
Alora, Ian, Sabrina and Elizabeth. Although she was born Miranda, she
chose to conceal her true name from a very early age. Consequently, only
her parents, her twin and her husband are aware of her birth name. After
she lost her Pattern due to a spell of Finndo's
making, the Serpent forced her to walk the Logrus, resulting in the loss
of her living Trump abilities, although her shapeshifting skills were
vastly improved. The Serpent then later impregnated her, with Sabrina
being the resultant offspring. The Serpent's ultimate plans for her
remain a mystery. Her symbol is a twisting serpent, and her colors are

Fazzari.

their Head. He was played by Steve Castanien.
Sky (short for Hair Like Sky): Daughter of
Dakota, granddaughter of
Archimedes, former consort of Corwin, married to
Claudio, mother of Isaac and
Gareth, Native American babe, played by Kristin Myers.
Abigail (deceased): Native of Ixaxis, Shadow of Melanie,
raised by Sand, former lover of Kaedric. Unable

under Kaedric's orders.

He wears his hair at shoulder length, but keeps it tied back, and he sports a small gold medallion, usually kept under his clothes. In the pre-Ragnarok history, he died trying to free Caitlin from Orrin's captivity, but his essense survived in a silver bracelet that Melanie wore. After Ragnarok, he took over the body of the post-Ragnarok version of him, trapping the mind of the past Kaedric in the bracelet, and later moving him into the Taormin. Shortly before he ascended to the throne of Chaos, the Serpent impregnated him with a child that came to term in less than two weeks, ripped its way out of his abdomen, killed its nursemaid, and vanished. The existance of this child (and Kaedric's pregnancy, for that matter) is known only by Melanie, Claudio, Alora, Ian, and, of course, the Serpent.
