= Fifteen Raksha in Amber =
=== by MetalFatigue ===

I shall make no attempt whatsoever to explain this to anyone who isn't familiar with Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber. Go read the books (at least the first five). They're worth it.

The ordering of the children of Oberon is based on [http://calwestray.tripod.com/amber_genealogy.htm Cal Westray's efforts].

;Dworkin:Obviously an [[FairFolkArtisan|Artisan]].
;Oberon:An [[ImperialRaksha|Imperial Raksha]] whose Ring Grace has been opened by means of Gaping Virtue Mouth.
;Benedict:The ultimate [[FairFolkStrategos|Strategos]].
;Eric:An [[ImperialRaksha|Imperial Raksha]], of course; a chip off the old block.
;Corwin:An [[FairFolkEshu|Eshu]], I think, given his association (mentioned but rarely shown) with the performing arts. Possibly his Staff Grace is open as well.
;Caine:An [[FairFolkAnarch|Anarch]]. He turns his destructive tendencies on the enemies of Amber. Note that the subtle arts of the assassin (symbolized by the Thrown Ability) are associated with the [[FairFolkDiplomat|Diplomat]] caste.
;Deirdre:A [[FairFolkXia|Xia]], always longing for battle.
;Fiona:An [[FairFolkArtisan|Artisan]] like Dworkin.
;Bleys:Perfect example of a [[FairFolkLuminary|Luminary]].
;Llewella:Probably a [[FairFolkCourtier|Courtier]], given her nebulous status in Moire's court.
;Brand:A [[FairFolkPanjandrum|Panjandrum]] and [[MadTeaParty|mad as a hatter]].
;Florimel:Hard to place. Possibly an [[OrnamentalRaksha|Ornamental Raksha]]? Which is not to imply that she doesn't have her own schemes, of course, but she keeps them deeply hidden. The other possibility would be [[FairFolkCourtier|Courtier]].
;Julian:A [[FairFolkCataphract|Cataphract]].
;Gérard:Another challenge. I finally pegged him as a [[FairFolkScribe|Scribe]]. No, listen, it makes a certain amount of sense. While he's legendary for his physical strength, and commands Amber's navy, he seems to be more of a peacemaker and mediator than a warmonger. That puts his Staff Grace in the ascendant. He's clearly not an [[ImperialRaksha|empire-builder]]; I suppose he might be a [[FairFolkCourtier|Courtier]], but he seems more like a pillar of the state than a parasite. All that's left is [[FairFolkScribe|Scribe]]. (Also, it was the only way to fit in all twelve of the noble castes.)
;Random:Starts out as an [[FairFolkAnarch|Anarch]], but becomes an [[ImperialRaksha|Imperial Raksha]] by the end of the series.

And what's the Unicorn? A shinma, of course!

But since the Fair Folk are based partially on the Courts of Chaos from the Amber books as stated in the FF book, wouldn't it make more sense to try and place the chaosite sigs? - [[Morrigu]]
