History:
The Ambers date their kingdom back to the early Age of Heroes, but like House Frost they have lost much of their original territory to the Stark, Slate and Ryder Kings, amongst others. The wealth of House Amber comes from that for which they named themselves, drawn from their lakes and fallen trees. There are three great lakes House Amber claims within its territory, though each of them are now borders with their neighbouring kingdoms.
Whilst broadly House Amber are seen as part of the Wolfswood Clans, their own identity revolving around the extraction of amber has led to the rise of certain beliefs not widely shared by their neighbours. In particular, that just as Amber preserves, so must the purity of Amber blood be similarly protected.
