About This World
Amber is the original, the archetype. Every other universe cast by Amber is a shadow. The royal family can walk through Shadow, moving between worlds by bending probability and geography. The city of Amber itself sits above a silver sea. Its Pattern, a labyrinth deep beneath the city, is the structure that holds the multiverse together. To walk the Pattern is to claim your birthright as a prince or princess of Amber.
