The engraved image of the Primal Pattern that created
Amber.
Copies of the Pattern can contain its power, such as the
Pattern on Corwin's sword - Gryswndr.
Shadows of the Pattern have been known to carry its
magical properties, such as the one in Rebma and
Tir-Nirgoth.
Only a descendant of the creator of the Pattern could walk
it. A person walks from its starting point to its center.
See Walking of Pattern
To create a working Pattern however, one would require the
Jewel of Judgement and the Blood of Amber.

The original engraved image of the Pattern drawn with the blood
of Dworkin that created Amber.
This Pattern resides in the Primal Plane that
is the mould of all Shadow worlds including the kingdom of
Amber. Drawn in the blood of Dworkin, the
Pattern has an unique relationship with its creator.
He was protected from harm by the pattern and only his blood
could erase it.
Yet later, as Dworkin related to Corwin that blood of
his blood could damage it, even onto the third generation.
It was the damage to the Primal Pattern that the
way was opened for The Court of Chaos.

The kingdom of Rebma lies in the sea of
Amber. A result from the reflection of
Amber herself. From the shores, a flight of stairs
leads into the waters, which one
could breath normally while on it. At the end of it is the
Castle. The castle of Rebma is similar in form to
that of Amber. The walls are like a mirror.
The Pattern of Rebma lies locked behind a door.
It was here that Corwin walked the Pattern of
Rebma to regain his memories.

Shadow
Reality created by the image of Amber.
Amber, believed to be the true center of creation, is
supposed to cast shadows. Everything in it, including
living creatures, is duplicated to create an infinite number of
worlds. These are called shadow worlds and their
inhabitants shadow beings. They all have slight
differences from the original. Shadows can in turn create
other shadows, which would be even more different from
Amber. So as one goes further from
Amber, things would become stranger.
One who has the mastery of shadows can walk between
them. To reach a certain shadow, one has to keep the image
of the location in mind and walk, changing small details as
one progress untill it matches the intended location.
It was belived among the princes and princesses of Amber
that one could not manipulate the stuff of shadows in
the proximity of Castle Amber because there is none.

Universe
The inhabitants of Earth view their world as a
Planet, circling their Sun. They believe in many
such worlds gathered in Space which formed a Galaxy.
The Universe is a place that contains all of this.
Amberites see this in a different way. Each world is a
Shadow and so, Amber, the
Court of Chaos is their idea of a
Universe.
