If you are curious about the nature of the universe, then read about How It All Began. This gives you a good introduction to the Amber universe. For more detailed and thorough background information , the best source is a pair of five volume novels written by Corwin and Merlin under a ShadowEarth pen name of Roger Zelazny.
The events described at this site took place after Merlin's series of stories, immediately following his ascenscion onto the throne of the Courts of Chaos. Most of my cousins, all of Merlin's generation, were not mentioned in his tales since we did not figure into Amber history at that time. Strangely, ever since that time we have been intricately involved in all the major events in the universe.
Of those not mentioned, Raven and Duncan have been in Amber the longest, ever since the PatternFall War. I was born around the time of the PatternFall War, and was a child until recently, Amber time. Then a rush of newly discovered Amberites arrived. Chance, Dlar and Adriale were the first to come to Amber. Then Ash and Kendric arrived roughly a month afterwards. Recent arrivals include Dominique and Catherine.
