MoireIndex | Time Under Chaos | Non-Player Characters | Moire Moire, Queen of Rebma  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 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. -Nine Princes in Amber Moire is a strong woman, and of strong passions and opinions, though it is very rare that she shows them. She has ruled Rebma for millenia, and fully intends to rule until the scepter falls from her palsied hands. No shifts in control of Amber will change that. She plays politics with the best of them, partially because her general style is to pretend she is not playing at all. She is on everyone's side, and on no one's side, and she will readily admit that. By her side, her chief adviser, is her sister, Maub. For a long time, before Patternfall, the Pattern in Rebma was her biggest concern - a source of enormous power sitting in her basement that she could not touch or control. It caused her to begin her doomed relationship with Eric, to push her daughter Morganthe and Random together (to her later grief), and then to lie with Corwin before he regained his memories. The only person with control over the Pattern that Moire has had any success keeping in Rebma is her half-sister Llewella, and Llewella has always been far too self-sufficient for Moire's comfort. Patternfall, however, and the damage to the Pattern itself, shifted Moire's attention to survival. She has been openly friendly to Merlin's (read Mandor's) regime, but has occasionally offered some small support to the resistance in order to keep her avenues open. How she explains this to agents of the Crown is unknown, but whatever she's saying must be convincing, as she remains Queen of Rebma, and Rebma remains (for the moment) a sovereign state under the "guidance" of Amber. |
