  1. I’d check all new books you read for magic unless you want to destabilise different forms of government. I know I do these days….

    But say what you might of Oberon, he did have some very good looking wives.

    On the book, I wonder exactly who the Author is? It’s just as well Oberon is dead….

    I’ll leave you all to comment on the contents as the summary is rather intriguing….

  2. Does anyone know the names of Oberon’s children by Cymnea, Swayvanna, and Faella? The excerpt mentions a Benedict, son of Cymnea and an Eric, son of Faella, but leaves out some others. I assume that Corwin and Dierdre came during this period since they aren’t mentioned elsewhere.

    Also, which of Oberon’s children are still alive and active? I have heard of Corwin, Deirdre, Caine, Fiona, Bleys, Brand, Llewella, Julian, Sand, and King Random being active relatively recently. What about the rest?

  3. The dalliance with Swayvanna produced Aoibheann, the treasurer of Amber.

    It mentions the 3rd birth that caused Queen Faella’s death.

    Princess Florimel is Mistress of State in Amber.

    Princess Alexandra (more regularly known as Sand) is the new Mistress of the Arcane of Amber.

    Delwin is ‘Rot Adler’.

    Eric died in Patternfall.

  4. Rot Adler is ‘ Red Eagle’ in German….

    It’s the name attributed to a Neo-Nazi group involved in various things on St James and Delwin is known as Delwin ‘The Mad’ by some and ‘Rot Adler’ by others and has significant fascist opinions…..I’ll leave others to confirm or deny these rumours, I’ve never met the man…..

    He also, apparently, is Robert of Sable’s father.

    1. Ani met Rot Adler once during an encounter with Rupert Delatz. He had showed up unexpectedly at the meeting with Angbard in tow. He had traded the knowledge that the meeting was to take place and that Ani was to be present in exchange for a demon debt.

      The implication from the diaries, brief as the encounter was and much as Rupert limited Angbard’s involvement (it still complicated things considerably as he had been out to kill Ani and David and had attacked our family on numerous occasions by that point), was that Rot Adler both dabbled in ritual dark magic and that he was in debt to demons to some extent. He certainly seemed pleased to get rid of a portion of his debt with such an easy, and insignificant, piece of information to acquire.

      Rupert did not seem pleased to see his father on that occasion, or perhaps not under those circumstances or in that company, Ani was unable to say.

  5. Just to be complete:

    Cymnea:
    Benedict, Finndo, Osric

    Swayvanna:
    Princess Aoibheann, the Treasurer of Amber

    Faella:
    Eric, Ex King of Amber, (Dead); Corwin, Creator of Parys; Princess Dierdre (Rebma)
