Thus, Corwin always dresses in black and silver, and his sister Deirdre does so as well.

Eric prefers, black and red, Caine black and green, and Gerard blue and gray (like the ocean he loves). Julian prefers pure white, with no shades of silver or any other color. Bleys, one of the three redheads, likes red, orange and golden, Brand is green, and Fiona blue and green. Lewella prefers shades of gray and green, and Flora dresses in sea-green.

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: To walk the Pattern

From Quiz "The Amber Series" by Roger Zelazny

From Quiz "The Amber Series" by Roger Zelazny

Answer: Benedict

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Bleys

Bleys is one of the three 'redheads', and one of Corwin's favorite brothers. Bleys's ethical code is not exactly strong or developed, but he is unresistably charming. Corwin is aware that he probably shouldn't believe him, but he does anyway.

16. To make a small digression, who invented the Trumps?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Corwin's grandfather

Trumps are the means of comunication in the royal family of Amber,and were invented by Corwin's grandfather, Dworkin. They look like tarot cards, the only difference is the fact that every trump is actually a picture of one of the Amberites. If one wants to contact someone through a Trump, one has to concentrate on the picture of that person. After some time the card grows cold, and contact is there. When one is giving passage trough trumps, he or she has to reach their hand out and get hold of the other person trough the card.

17. After he had been given the passage, Corwin decides to help Bleys in his intentions. Namely, two of them will attack Amber and take the throne from Eric. Why does Bleys want Corwin's help?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Corwin is excellent soldier and strategist

Corwin has always been great soldier, and he has polished his skills even more during his stay in Shadow Earth. Trough the centuries he has done things connected to war: fought in armies (less often) or lead armies (more often). He is... GOOD.

18. While preparing the attack on Amber, Corwin makes arrangements with two of his brothers, and they say they are willing to help him. Which brothers are they?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Gerard and Caine

Gerard and Caine have not exactly agreed to help him, but to stay aside. Anyway, Corwin is later betrayed by Gerard who still supports Eric.

19. During the first part of the attack, Corwin is betrayed by one of his brothers. Which brother is that?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Caine

Bleys is leading one part of the army (on foot), and Corwin is leading another part (by sea). Being the best sailor in the family, Caine is guarding the sea passage Corwin had planned to use. After being betrayed and attacked by Caine, Corwin fights as long as he can. After he sees he has lost, Corwin contacts Bleys via his Trump and gets passage.

20. After Corwin has joined Bleys' part of the army, they continue the attack. In order to come into Amber, they have to climb a mountain. What is the name of the mountain.

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Kolvir

Kolvir is the highest mountain in Amber, and in order to climb Kolvir, one has to climb a very long and narrow staircase. This is very good srategic position for defenders of the city, but not for the attackers.

21. Bleys and Corwin have lost the battle, and Bleys is falling from the top of the mentioned mountain and Corwin does something to help him. What?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: He casts him his Trumps

Bleys is falling, and Corwin casts his Trumps for Bleys to catch. This is a wise thing to do: Kolvir is very high and Bleys would have time to contact a sibling and get passage while falling.

22. What is the name of the character who helps Corwin escape?

From Quiz Nine Princes of Amber

Answer: Dworkin

Dworkin is Corwin's grandfather and the greatest magician in the realm - and he is quite mad. He dwells in a dungeon near to Corwin's (well, not actually a dungeon; more like a comfortable apartment he can't leave). Dworkin is the creator of the Trumps, and Corwin tricks him into drawing a big Trump on Corwin's wall. After Dworkin has left, Corwin stepts trough the Trump on the wall and... he's free!
