The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Chronicles of Amber

<< < (3/10) > >>

raidem:
Courts of Chaos
(click to show/hide)Corwin and Dhora/Nemesis have a son named Merlin
(could be similar to my Harry/Murphy/Marcone theory)
Corwin cuts a branch from a tree, creates a staff.  (Tree talks by the way)
(The tree marks division between Order/Chaos) planted by Oberon.
Staff can be planted to create new tree.
Tree is named Ygg (reminding me of Yggdrasil)
Corwin gets a Chaos bird named "Hugi" might be similar to Huginn (Hugi acts similar kinda to Toot in personality)
Corwin creates a new Primal Pattern near this recently planted Staff, that grows upon Pattern's completion.
If there are two Primal Patterns (there was uncertainty as to whether Oberon repaired the one at Amber prior to death) then either twinned universe or cataclysm.  Since there was no cataclysm, at the end Corwin commits to finding out about this new Pattern he created, and Universe it spawned.
Brand (bad brother with Jewel) grabs Deirdre's when falling into abyss vs. Victor Sells grabbing Harry's leg in Storm Front.

One word of caution for those interested in the series.  There is lots of fluff to some of the narration with regard to traveling.  Lots, and Lots of descriptive stuff. Just go past that.  Not really important.  It gets really annoying if your wanting to basically skim/listen to the books for clues to Dresden Files. (It is an enjoyable series by itself but that narration gets boring.)

raidem:
Trumps of Doom
(click to show/hide)Victor Melman vs Victor Sells;  or Melman vs mailman?
Victor Melman is a mid-level bad guy, so it could be that the mailman might be a bad guy
Did Harry use the mailman's pen to sign for the package? Was Harry being 'drugged' at any point in signing for his packages?
Victor Melman becomes similar to a Vittorio like character crying "Master." Though he doesn't answer.
This unknown Cowl figure is a mysterious master that tried to get Merlin sacrificed onto a Table via Victor.
Bill Roth (Corwin's lawyer on Earth. Merlin confides in him about a situation that is getting out of control.)
(It is odd if you don't talk about parents, hometown, brothers, sisters...)
Storms between Amber/Chaos can push shadows into other shadows...
Merlin has walked both the Logus and the Pattern.  Logus is Chaos.  Pattern is Order.  (Uses his ability with Logus to bring Beer/Pizza to him and Bill)
One story for Merlin's father Corwin: in his new universe not speaking/mute using sign language with a lady.
Merlin doesn't know the whereabouts of his father.
Ghost Wheel, exists in its own shadow, is similar to Archive somewhat.  (It is a multiversal data processor that searches the shadows and learns from them. Merlin, Corwin's son, created it.
Merlin gets trapped in crystal cave.
He later gets trapped in cave with tunnels like that of Demonreach.

raidem:
Blood of Amber
(click to show/hide)Frakir, cord like weapon that wraps around Merlin's wrist until used, invisible.
somewhat similar in concept to what Harry uses against SkinWalker, but Frakir is permanent.
small dragons in Amber remind me of what the DF Dragons later become
Luke and mercenaries use hang-gliders in their assault on the keep of the 4 winds (or some name like that), it is similar to what Maeve, Lily do in Cold Days on Demonreach
Merlin's ex-girlfriend that died shows up again later behind things.  I'm getting the impression from this book that Kim Delaney may not be 'dead' after all. In the Amber books, there tend to be lots of 'faked' deaths possibly with other 'shadows' being placed in their stead.  I think she may yet be a contender for Kumori.
tracked stones/button similar to tracked pin from Summer
(there is more but I'm reading the books now and not listening to them)
(i also haven't been jotting down notes immediately as I run across things)
Sign of Chaos
(click to show/hide)Jabberwock, reminding me of what Malcolm Dresden tells Harry in the 'dream'
This could further support the idea that Malcolm Dresden ancestry stretches from AmberChronicles.
Merlin hides behind a Font of Power,  Font is destroyed with Chaos; something similar to Proven Guilty up at Arctis Tor.
Somewhere in the prior books, Merlin says that he should have told Julia "I love you"; similarity with Susan in GP.
Julia mad drive to the occult after breaking up with Merlin led her to the parallel worlds and she sought power at a place where 4 worlds met.  It was a place of great power but for Amberite,Chaosian to be empowered there wasn't a 'good' thing.
T'yiga is like a corpsetaker or like nemesis, it just goes one by one. (it can be 'good'. it protects Merlin, sent by his chaos mother)

groinkick:
I think you should look up Randall Flagg.  It's not connected to the Chronicles of Amber but I have speculated that Jim may have taken the concept and given as he said "a new coat of paint"

The main reason is Randall Flagg is connected to He Who Walks Behind the Rows in Stephen King's novel.

jonas:
Dude, tagged that one a long time ago. He's also associated to Nyarlahotep which ties into some other DF stuff. Randall Flagg also is the Man in the Black in Stephen King's Gunslinger/Dark Tower series.
Likes I said... your not quite getting to the source material yet.
