Other things of note:
Trumps (cold= active, cool and non-active= out of reach, hot= Undershadow, room-temp and non-active= dead)
Undershadow= the reality that runs under both Amber and Chaos, realm of ghosts
Hall of Mirrors= hall of elaborate trumps, may have ties to Undershadow
The multiple patterns: Amber, Rebma, Tir, Argent, Primal
Jewel of Judgment: the eye of the Serpent of Chaos, removed by the Unicorn in
order to create the Pattern. Dangerous as all get out.
"Blue stones": artifacts of a shadow that blocks the use of all powers save for artifacts. The individual stone leave a trace of taint upon anyone who carries one for a while that can apparently be used to track the individual. Favored by Dalt & co.
Conjuration= making a deal with the Abyss. Highly dangerous, and not available to player characters without a deal with the GM.
