The Royal line of Rebma is nearly as old as Oberon's rule in Amber; however, there have been significantly more Monarchs Beneath the Waves, as while Rebmans are long-lived, they do not hold on as long as their Amber counterparts. In the present time, the royal family has had its share of scandal and tragedy.
The first Queen Beneath the Waves was Manawydan, daughter of Lir Himself. After her, the Queen of Rebma was her daughter Moins. Shortly after the birth of Moins's daughter Moire, she entertained King Oberon of Amber. This would not normally be an issue in Rebma, but the affair resulted in the birth of Llewella, and the scandal was compounded when Oberon acknowledged the girl. A few centuries after Llewella's birth, Moins passed the throne to Moire and retreated to solitary reflection, dying a few decades thereafter.
Moire's early rule had a few missteps, but solid advice from her court and a fair amount of natural cunning stabilized her rule. She reconciled with her half-sister, and Llewella became a common and welcome face in the Rebman court.
For a long time, Moire's only child was Princess Morganthe; when the girl took her own life, Moire was left without an offical heir. Her grandson Martin might have once a claim to the throne, but it is clear he was passed over. The succession is now firmly vested in the infant Faiella, a messianic figure held as the fulfillment of the Great Prophecy.
Current members of the Royal Family include:
- Moire, Queen Beneath the Waves
- Princess Faiella, heir to the Deep Throne
- Martin, grandson of Queen Moire
- Princess Llewella, sister to the Queen
- Her Reverence Lady Morgana, daughter of Llewella
Llewella has other children who are not officially accounted members of the royal family. Most of them, however, are granted special status at court.
