Extract of Jane M. Lindskold's Amberzine #3 Starting Backwards :
" One detail that could be especially useful to role-players is
Zelazny's informations regarding which languages the senior princes and
princesses speak, aside from their native speak, Thari. All of them,
except for Llewella, speak Enflish. Corwin, Flora, Benedict and Fiona
are the only ones who speak French, although Random speaks a little from
having played gigs in Paris. Corwin is also fluent in Japanese, Russian,
and German, and, because of his long residence there, speaks several
others languages less well. Benedict, hover, is the linguist of the
group. He speaks and reads Japanese, Spanish, German, Russian and
Mandarin. He has somme cantonese and reads Greek and Latin.
Zelazny says that the most underestimated character in Amber is Flora.
He says that she is much tougher and much smarter than she seems, but
that neiter Corwin or Merlin have created circumstances where they have
had the opportunity to bring this out. He adds that Tom Canty's drawing
of Flora, which was later redone as "Lady Frost,"looks just like Flora.
Canty's picture shows a bit more of the lady's strength than many ohter
artist's renditions.
A more ominous note is that Grayswandir was "something else" before it
was a sword. Zelazny says that "the partial image of the pattern upon
Corwin's blade Grayswandir was placed there by the Pattern, for it's own
protection."
