The Royal Family
The immortal King of Amber, Bleys, is the highest authority in the land. His father was King Oberon, who had many children:
- Before Benedict, there are heroic, dead names; Osric, Finndo, Sandringham, Delwin, Aude.
- Older even than Benedict is Brammimonde, who looks far younger than her years, and seldom visits Amber. It is said they are full brother and sister. Brammimonde has only emerged from hiding.
- Benedict is the oldest surviving child of Oberon, according to genealogies published before the reign of Bleys. He is famed for loyalty to the Crown and competence in battle; Benedict is illegitimate, but once was a Prince. Since the first year of the reign of Bleys, he has seldom been seen in public. He is styled Duke of Amber.
- Eric was born before the King married the lady Faiella. He has never formally been adopted. He is said to have affinity with the land of Tir. His hair is white, but he does not look old enough to match it.
- Eric's legitimate siblings are Corwin and Deirdre, of whom Corwin is often in open or covert rebellion against the King. Deirdre is known for refusing the roles of her sex.
- Caine, son of Rilga, is said to be older than most of his other sibs. He is known for casual murder and naval prowess.
- Bleys, Fiona and Brand are the (legitimate) children of Clarissa. Brand vanished, believed dead. Bleys died a hero, and then turned out not to be dead, and was Crowned on the day of his return. Fiona died in shadow shortly thereafter.
- Llewella was born to the queen of Rebma while Oberon was married to Clarissa. She was officially made a Princess by him.
- Julian and Gerard are the sons of Rilga, born safely in wedlock.
- Florimel was the daughter of Queen Dybele of Amber. She is often used to smooth over diplomatic incidents and create treaties.
- Random was the son of Queen Paulette, and is often seen as a cheap version of his brothers.
- The children of Princes are rare, and as they are seldom mentioned when gone, the number is unclear.
It is generally agreed that the Princes (save those in rebellion) work hard for Amber.
