In the Dark

A Campaign Run Annually at AmberCon

Storyteller: George

The Setting:

We started at The End: the end of the multiverse, the end of the PatternFall War, the end of the Corwin Chronicles.

Some of the Players were at hand for the Funeral of Oberon,which took place while Random held back the Final Storm. And Corwin sat recounting his tale to his son while watching Random's success.

Meanwhile, other Players were in Amber under Gerard's regency: where due to fickle time, the war had ended almost 10 years earlier.

Still others Players new nothing of the grand events transpiring, as they passed various time in Shadows.

After sitting through Oberon's funeral and paying their respects, most present went to watch the last of The Storm. After The Storm, the Amber-inclined headed home, each by their preferred means. After his efforts, Random was last seen entering the Courts, just behind Corwin and Merlin (also not seen since).

Before anyone returned to Amber, Gerard had received a Trump contact apprising him of The Storms' defeat at the hands of the Unicorn's chosen. Before any contested otherwise, Gerard had the blood in Amber swear fealty to Random. Before rumors could fly, a court was held in Amber to inform the nobles and gentry of the new reign.

During all the rest, those in the Shadows started their way (unaware and/or largely unwilling) toward the one true city.
