Rebma

Rebma is also the name given to the capital city of the realm, the direct reflection of Amber.

This is literal; the buildings and walls of Rebma are exactly the reverse of the buildings and walls in Amber, as if the builders had read their blueprints in a mirror. This is more than an inconvenience for those who reside in Rebma; if a house is knocked down in Amber, its companion falls. Unfortunately, it does not work the other way, and someone attempting to damage a house in Rebma will find it quite impossible - which does make hanging pictures on the wall inconvenient.

To avoid peril, the citizens of the reflected city tend to dwell in older, established buildings that are unlikely to change. Rebma's equivalent of the lower-class areas of Amber are therefore unpopulated, except for guests or the destitute.

The most stable area of the city is the Palace. It is there that the government of Rebma is concentrated, filling the wings with courtiers and functionaries.

Far beneath the Palace lies the Pattern of Rebma. Only a few have ever walked it, and most citizens of Rebma do not even know of its existence.
