The Hendrake/Lintros conflict

Players: Doria,

NPCs:Benedict, Maylon, Desri, Roxane Duke Larsus, Duchess Belisema Minobee, Chinnaway

Signs: The widely distributed Dworkin's Hiers and Spares Poster.

Elements:

Benecict bred 4 daughters with Lintra Hendrake, queen of the Hellmaids. The hellmaids are a vital and active part of House Hendrake. One daughter born in antiquity is Maylon, a powerful member of the Hendrake family and leader of the Lintros faction. Three daughters, Dosri, Desri, and Doria, were conceived during Patternfall War and hid on the world of Swirlin. Lintra's sudden death caused the three daughters to be lost, misplaced, and not contacted.

At about the same time Benedict and the Hendrakes attempted to rescue the daughters. The Hendrakes rescued Desri and Doria's Daughter Roxane. Dosri had been brought to chaos early on and bore the line Dara eventually sprang from. Benedict fought a Fire Angel to claim Doria.

The division in House Hendrake, by far the most dangerous active plot, is between the Lintros Clan and the established line. Duke Larsus, Duchess Belisema Minobee, Chinnaway represent the old guard, the Anti-Amber faction that fought, and some claim precipitated, the Patternfall War. Maylon, Glandris, and Falris represent the Lintro Faction.

The Dworkin's Hiers and Spares page is being circulated to bolster the Lintro's Clan's connection to Amber.

Roxane, who may not be sane, is convinced it is her duty to bring on the Year of Skulls, a cataclysmic battle that would rise a godlike figure called Kina to life, to rule over all of shadow.

Concluded.

Green Random, king of a Shade of Amber, was the last survivor of a throne war. His brother Jared, driven mad by having become the Gopher King, had brought war and wreck to Amber.

When discovered by Strykr only Random, a straggly, thin figure hounded by hordes of gophers and Mad Jared still existed in a bare and desolate Amber, stripped of every scrap of plant life or material consumable by the zillions of gophers infesting the land.

Through diverse actions Strykr slew Jared, becoming the Gopher Queen herself. Then Random cleared the region of gopher bodies while Strykr commanded the gophers back into the shadows they came from, to resume their normal gopher lives.

Soon after Green Random came to the true realm and was soon traveling in the social whirl. King of a vacant shade of Amber, he turned the realm over to the True Realm in exchange for a Grand Ducal coronet.

Now Green Amber is a training ground for Amber's military, Golden Circle forces, and special Household Forces. Emigration has also been opened up to provide support personnel for the visiting troops. Many of the visiting troops, numbering in the thousands to hundred thousands, will be living in Green Amber for years at a time. So Duke Randal now rules a growing realm serving the training troops of the Amber Imperial Military.
