Make each nation a Prince of Amber to be their Pretender and it should work out fairly well, I'd think.

Oh, and I call Benedict if it gets tested in MP. Heh!

Another option might be to make the Princes and Princesses the various Pretender options for one nation and set up the scenario to be a conquest of a Shadow realm, as apparently often happened in the days before the Patternfall War.
It has been years since I read the books, I confess that my memory of details is becoming hazy

Very good idea the one of having the various nations be part of a shadow world. I was focused on the problem of make the nations fit with the 'true' Amber world.

And what about multiple shadow worlds, with in each one province for each nation. Marignon could for example be defeated (loose his starting province) in one reality, but continue to exists in some others. With gating/faery trod, you could 'move' from one reality to another, thus supporting your provinces.

or perhaps each starting province of the various shadow worlds have a physical connexion with each other?

edit : you dont happen to know if a game company ever publied RPG stuff on Amber? If I recall well the licence was given for a RPG game, but dont remember the details.

I think there was an Amber Diceless RPG. Not sure who published it.
