Amber
So who were we talking about again? The Amberites, a group of immortal beings who inhabit the one true realm, of which all other "shadows" are but mere imitations. They are gods above the gods, but suffer from the same human frailties of emotion and power-lust.

YOU MIGHT BE AN AMBERITE IF...
..you consider family reunions a good place to pick up chicks.
..a bladedweapon is your idea of an appropriate birthday gift...
..for a ten-year-old.
..your family tree does not fork...
..it loops.
..your little sister can bench-press a Buick...
..one handed.
..you wake up in the middle of the night with chest pain, and your
first thought is, "How did the assassin get past my wards?"
..you paid points for your girlfriend...
..and she dumps you anyway.
..the family tradition is to use dry-erase boards instead of
tombstones, to save on corrections.
..you put a picture of your mother on your coat of arms...
..and no-one comments on the resemblance, because she's a different species.
..the song 'Just Me and my Shadow' makes you laugh out loud.
..you've sworn undying allegience to three Monarchs of Amber this
week, and it's Tuesday.
..the relative you hate the most is your Parent.
..the relative you hate the most is your Devotee.
..the relative you hate the most is your Pattern-Ghost.
..the phrase 'dressed to kill' is actually a warning about the
person in question.
..you hesitate to take a trump call because it might not be a family
member, then you decide not to take the contact at all, because it
might be a family
member.
..you put up more magical defenses for the family dinner than for
invading Swayvill's home.
..if you've ever been stabbed in the back over the last roll at the
dinner table.
.."bad flu season" is a convenient funeral excuse for outsiders.
.."old family friends" are enough to call out the household guard.
..you've ever dueled for 24 hours straight with no conclusive result.
..family picnics required being wary of aunts not ants.
..you've ever fired 42 guns in salute to the rightful King of Amber
in any given 24-hour period.
..you've been a tinker, a tailor, a soldier, a thief, a doctor, a
lawyer and an Indian Chief...
..before breakfast.
..you've ever played bridge with an odd set of cards, and wound up
with six extra players.
..you've ever made yourself the center of the universe...
..literally.
..you've ever ridden like the devil himself was after you...
..and he was.
..it's not one thing, it's your mother.
..You think Machiavelli wasn't nearly sneaky enough.
..you think Machiavelli could have learned something from you.
..and you admit that you're a rank amateur, even so.
..you've regrown a body part, simply to exact sweeter revenge.
..you've worked out the minute details of your deathcurse, just in case.
..your number in the succession lineage has dropped from triple to
single digits...
..in days.
..in hours.
..in minutes.
..which has resulted in your premature demise.
..you have made a backhanded compliment hurt more than an up-front criticism.
..there's something to be said for relatives, which has to be said
because it's unprintable.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

A little bit the of History of the Warhammer 40K Universe
Slightly out of date given that it's based on late 2nd Edition/early 3rd edition. Still, it's a quick run down.

I don't see why direct linking to that site would be a problem. Normally we don't direct link to sites/boards that have members who might come to harass us if the link is traced, but I don't see why that would be a problem with the Warhammer 40K site.
