*** The weird and powerful Amber family members who lived inside the title castle were engaged in constant infighting. They and the castle are inspired by the Amberites and Castle Amber in Creator/RogerZelazny's ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfAmber'' series. In the module, one character uses magical Tarot cards. In Zelazny's ''Amber'' setting, Amberites use the Trump deck for fortune telling as if it were a Tarot deck. The module also introduces Grab Grass, which can grab hold of creatures; in Zelazny's work, the Courts of Chaos have grass that does the same thing. Also, two encounters in the castle were references to Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" and the Norwegian fairy tale "The Literature/ThreeBillyGoatsGruff".
