Greater Arden is the shadow-stuff that used to be in Kolvir. It has been liberated, and is now being run by Zach and his Rangers.

Here lies:

• Castle Amber - former seat of the King of Amber, a sprawling manse once reinforced with pattern by Dworkin to deal with icky Logrus users. The caves beneath Castle Amber were the home of the Kolvir Pattern until that pattern was taken by Oberon, who shapeshifted it into himself as a power source. Later, the Kolvir Pattern was yanked out and unwalked by Ferro shortly before Oberon’s death.
  • The place Trump for Castle Amber goes to the courtyard, which is extensively trapped.
• Amber City - (not yet renamed) a smallish seaport city near the castle, devastated by a number of disasters and rebuilt over the years.
  • There is a bar in Amber City that is still open; people who go in don’t leave, so they apparently haven’t noticed any of the problems.
  • Shiryu moved House Helgram to Amber City; the order-tolerant members of Neville’s house live there. (Most of the rest did not survive the transition.)
• Rebma - the shadow of Amber beneath the waves. The Rebma Pattern was (accidentally?) removed by Caelin and used to smite Anti-Dragons, and destroyed. Unfortunately, the special properties of Rebma were tied into that pattern. Between the water pressure, the watchdog put there by Caelin and released when the pattern was removed, and the shark children of Llewella there were very few survivors. The city itself did not survive.
• Tir na Nog’th - the ghost city in the sky. The stairway to Tir was blown out by a Bibliomancy/Magic explosion, and replaced at the wrong angle. When Tir appeared at an angle, the moon bled, and it was bad. Eventually this was fixed, but Tir was still blocked for a while. The Tir Pattern was also removed to fight Anti-Dragons, and destroyed. Tir has not been seen since, although there is a Jean still is in it, somewhere.
• The Forest of Arden - Home to, and run by Zach and his Rangers originally, and has expanded to “Greater Arden”, to encompase the whole shadow.

  Then there was a forest. And what a forest! I had never seen trees such as this, mighty and majestic, of a deep, rich green, slightly tinged with gold. They towered, they soared. They were enormous pines, oaks, maples, and many others which I could not distinguish. Through them crept a breeze of fantastic and lovely fragrance, when I cracked the window a bit.
