Ambercon 2011 * April 14th-17th, 2011 * Detroit, Michigan

With the end of the Patternfall War, a great many Chaosian refugees turned to Amber for a new homeland. With the treaties signed, King Random accepted many thousands into Amber, granting them full citizenship. With this development, the Weir petitioned for citizenship of their own, bringing a second feared minority amidst Amber natives. Every faction has its goals, its dreams, and its desires. Amber has weathered some difficult transitions in the twenty-four years that King Random has held the throne. As post-war peace with Chaos continues to hold, Amber's citizens have learned to live with the immigrant shapeshifters in their midst, especially with the guidance of Henry Thurmond, the Chief of Police for the last two years. Similarly, acceptance of Amber's Weir citizens is growing, especially since the pack gained a new leader, Ulysses, also two years ago. With the death of King Swayville, Chaos has been aswirl with assassinations and political machinations as potential kings rise up and are cut down. The news that reaches Amber is likely out of date and badly garbled, but the concern for family and friends in the "homeland" as well as worry for the continued accord between Chaos and Amber are wearing on all. The end of the summer draws near, and a welcome distraction arrives in Amber City: a travelling carnival.
