Hamsterites

The Hamsters of which all other hamsters are merely shadows. Or some junk.

Created originally in a locked room, to be simply a visual aid, to explain the, at the time, current Family Amber difficulties, the way they were created somehow enabled them to be quite real, and of the bloodlines, and with the characteristics of the Amberites. All of them have walked at least their Pattern, situated in the Hamsterverse and some have even more impressinve credentials to their credit. Yes, they are actually hamsters, not hamster sized people. Fur and all.

The Hamsterverse is their new home. An invite there is a signal honor, or a statement that you need to spend some time studying Dworkinetics. Sometimes both.

Dworkinetics is a whole new way of looking at an individuals place in the universe. It seems to be mostly successful in those that are taught this way, to get along better with, in comparison to trying to oppose the entire universal order, and change it to their image.

All of the Hamsterites rank as Child Of Dworkin level (Oberon, basically) in general stats, with individuated talents as per the moulding and storytelling of Jean. And yet, the Hamsterites are quite compassionate, and are often willing to help those who have befrended them.

• Dworkin: in the Badgerverse with other Dworkins. Creator of Dworkinetics, a hunchbacked shape-shifting hamster, and the wielder of the Hamster Jewel of Judgement.
