At the foot of Kolvir in the Ivory district not that far from Rainbow falls you will find a locked gate at the foot of a stairway carved into the very face of the mountain. The steps rise upwards to a point higher then Amber's palace and the falls as well. When you finish the arduous walk you will have arrived at the West ridge. Situated here is the great Royal observatory of Amber.

            It's hard to believe that the material for the Observatory was actually brought up the narrow stairway.  It is harder still to believe that the Observatory was abandoned and unused since before the PFW. It has not been until the last two years that work was started by Mel Hade chief mathematician of the University of Amber to rebuild the Observatory.

            Here with a small group of students they work at the painstaking restoration of the large telescope and tower. They have also started to build a series of small homes to shelter the material they need to catalog the mysteries that will be revealed.

            With only a few months to go until they are to have their grand opening they have started to hurry.
