Not precisely the Courts from the second series, but inspired by them, as well as Stormy’s Chaos. The Courts of Chaos and the Black Zone can be thought of as roughly the size of Australia, if the Courts were flat, which they are not.

The power groups in Chaos are:

• The 17 Major Houses, and a number of minor houses who focus on politics
• The Guilds, who are more focused on powers and hobbies than status
• The King of Chaos, typically a Guild Second and elected by the Major Houses
• The Realms Lords, ridiculously powerful people who allow the process to continue so they don’t get bothered a lot.

Chaos Details

Chaos is defined in more detail here: http://www.train-wreck.org/~dkap/Amber/chaos_info.html

This page is out of date in several important respects:

1. Jance from the Philosophers Guild is no longer King.
2. Some of the major houses on the list have been destroyed, disbanded (e.g. House Barimen), or demoted (e.g. House Hendrake).
3. Guild leadership is in flux; Rainbow of the Dancers Guild is also (secretly) running the Shifter Guild after their decimation by Cyndia. Andron and Jenoir are officially dead, having combined to become the new Realms Mage Ferethyn (after the players and NPCs conspired to drive the last one insane).
