A Grand Affair
A Grand Affair It's ten years after Random's coronation at the close of Patternfall. The War with Chaos is over and the threat has receded like the tide. The Golden Circle is well on its way to being reconsituted in the change in administration.
Thusly, Random is hosting a political and social event to celebrate this tenth anniversary. Powers new and old will be sending emissaries to the event, jockeying for influence renewed, or constituted. In the post-Oberon world, the Princes and Princesses of Amber are tempting targets for influence-peddling.
As well as more prurient interests...
A Grand Affair was a troupe-style game. What this means is that the players take on multiple roles. Everyone will take on at least two--a primary character who is "of the Blood" and a secondary character who has come to Amber for reasons known or unknown.
So who do I play? I am going to be playing as my primary character none other than Delwin. A Delwin influenced heavily by Egyptian mythos and mindset, as well as hailing from a shadow of same, this is not your father's Delwin! Unlike many of the other royals, Delwin and his sister Sand will be making their appearance at the Affair as newly-appearing self-exiles.
My secondary character is another outsider, one Iolaus Diotrephes. Like Delwin, his shadow has been isolated from the Golden Circle for a long time indeed. But a recent project has unlocked the worlds of the Golden Circle to Syracuse, and the traders have cannily realized that the quickest and fastest way to come attention to the powers-that-be is to send an emissary to the heart of these "new" worlds...to Amber itself.
