Amber CityIndex | Above Us The Waves? | Settings | Amber City Amber was the greatest city which had ever existed or ever would exist. Amber had always been and always would be, and every other city, everywhere every other city that existed was but a reflection of a shadow of some phase of Amber. Amber, Amber, Amber... I remember thee. I shall never forget thee again. I guess, deep inside me, I never really did, through all those centuries I wandered the Shadow Earth, for often at night my dreams were troubled by images of thy green and golden spires and thy sweeping terraces. I remember thy wide promenades and the decks of flowers, golden and red. I recall the sweetness of thy airs, and the temples, palaces, and pleasances thou containest, contained, will always contain, Amber, immortal city from which every other city has taken its shape, I cannot forget thee… Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny  Nestled upon a highland below the majestic Mount Kolvir, Amber City stretches from northwest to southeast across a sloping promontory. The city covers approximately 15 square miles of space (5 miles long, 3 wide) and is home to approximately 500,000 people; with another 100,000 or more living in the harbor and "low income housing" along the southern slope. |
