Clarifee ap Ruadan (Sydelle Noel)
Lady of the Treasured Kilts

House Ruadan is an old Rebman house, known for political savvy and itchy feet. Their legendary ancestors were privateers with letters of marque from Queen Moire. Clarifee has long been in the royal service, early on as an officer of the Archive watch and more recently as Lady of the Treasured Kilts. This office provides service and goods to guests of Rebma. In other words, Clarifee is one of Rebma's spymistresses, seeding agents in foreign entourages and recruiting youngsters to listen in to public conversations by members of visiting shells. Llewella recruited Clarifee to this position, but Celina drew her close because of her TaKhi skills. She is part of what might be called the royal kitchen cabinet.

Coral (Eartha Kitt)

Delta's grandmother had been a wanderer long before Delta was born, but she stayed with her family in the Pearl Islands long enough to tell her granddaughter the tales of the fabled underwater city of Rebma, where fish swim in the streets and people breathe in water. Now that Coral has returned to Rebma, she has passed the burden of her fragment of the Sapphire to her granddaughter and taken up a new life in court.

Celina has only recently taken the throne. Her mother did not give it up willingly, and is suspected to be plotting an attempted reacquisition of power. Your grandmother might have been involved in that in some fashion.

My grandmother the revolutionary? Doubt it. If so, she knows she lost, given how ...grey, she's been.

-- Vere and Delta

Moins (Simone Signoret) [deceased]
Late Queen of Rebma

Queen of Rebma as Oberon was King of Amber, Moins is considered the most likely scribe of the Rebman Pattern. In ancient times made war on the Nedra dragon and bound the Tritons to service. She bore several children, the best known being Moire by an unknown father and Llewella by Oberon. The cause of her death was unknown, but there was an interregnum following that ultimately led to Moire taking the throne.

Eric died. Oberon... returned? The Realm was broken only when Oberon died? So probably Moins never died. For I, like you, have believed Moins was a 'rightful queen' and knew how to keep her realm.

-- Celina

The most likely cause of the war will be if she possesses you and takes over your body. Mother ... had more Chaos in her than father and she was pitiless.

-- Llewella

Moire (Catherine Deneuve)
Former Queen of Rebma

Moins' daughter by an unknown father, Moire ruled for many years as Queen of Rebma. She is intimately bound into family politics as Llewella's half-sister, grandmother to Martin and Jerod, and mother to Celina. Her rule was strong for centuries, extending so far as to force Random to marry Vialle as punishment for her daughter Morganthe's death. But Moire never managed to master Rebma's Pattern, and she fled when Khela's Libertist forces approached Rebma, or perhaps from Huon's attempt to master the Rebman paxblade. She is known to be at large in the Shadows near Paris now, and recent news involves her in some conspiracy with the Dannan survivors in the Ardennes and the Klybesians.

A woman sat upon the throne in the glassite room I almost recalled, and her hair was green, though streaked with silver, and her eyes were as round as moons of jade and her brows rose like the wings of olive gulls. Her mouth was small, her chin was small; her cheeks were high and wide and rounded. A circlet of white gold crossed her brow and there was a crystal necklace about her neck. At its tip there flashed a sapphire between her sweet bare breasts, whose nipples were also a pale green. She wore scaled trunks of blue and a silver belt, and she held a scepter of pink coral in her right hand and had a ring upon every finger, and each ring had a stone of a different blue within it.

-- Corwin, Nine Princes in Amber

Your mother was ... more willing to negotiate, and keep peace.

-- Llewella, to Celina
