Join the Amber Expeditionary Army!

Travel through shadow, meet interesting people, and kill them.

So you want to learn from your Uncle Bleys?

I'd be more than happy to teach you. But no basic crap, you can learn that anywhere.

If you want to go through basic Warfare training with my troops, you are welcome to. But I warn you, my drill sergeants know much more than you might expect, and I dock their pay if at least one death or serious injury has not occurred within each graduating class.

You think you're past all that, and you want more?

I'll teach you tactics, strategy, and leadership in the Amber Expeditionary Army. Don't expect my troops to go easy on you because you have "royal" blood, because they don't give a damn. Learn to lead them via respect, fear, or admiration, whatever works. Just remember that their loyalty to you will never exceed their loyalty to me.

All that is child's play to you?

Fine, take charge of one of my Special Ops teams, and go do some of the really fun stuff. Just don't be surprised if that opponent you just took down is wearing brown, orange, and yellow, or wears an Amber Expeditionary Navy patch.

What? You don't want to piss off your aunts and uncles (or parents)? Then don't bother me. Look me up after you've broken that apron string and have stopped wearing diapers.

And if you think you can take risky chances because Uncle Bleys is watching over you, you're wrong. You do something stupid and get yourself killed; I'll send flowers to the funeral.

What is the one thing I should learn from my time with Uncle Bleys?

Trust no one. Not your aunts and uncles, not your cousins, not your parents. None of them want what's best for you. The only person looking out for you is you. …and your Uncle Bleys, of course.
