Brick District
Description:
Though part of the new Amber it has very much the feel and look of the old or
more traditional Amber. This has been Amber's fastest growing district and there
is still much new constructions going on. The Brick district is dominated by
Garnaths crimson colored bricks that by popular sentiment seem to be the only
building material allowed.
Type of Homes:
Tall brick town houses set in tight rows dominate the smartly laid out broad
ways. The combine merchant lower residence upper structure, tend to dominate
corners of even the most rural neighborhood.
Type of Roads: The
roads of the brick district are made up of a green stone from cliff works far to
the west of Amber. Though both beautiful and flat they are a bit slippery in the
rain. The roads are laid out in sectional patterns creating many small
neighborhoods and dead ends.
Make up of people: The
brick district is strictly middle to lower class but the pride of "Brickers"
is obvious in the way they keep their roads clean and well kept. Brickers are a
strange exception to Amber's otherwise inclusive feeling Here they sing songs
about brave "Brickers" and how they are the backbone of Amber.
History: The
history of the brick district goes back to before the creation of the New Amber.
During the early days of the Out Shadow wars the influx of people into Amber
spilled out into what was a construction business dominated area called the
bricks that was dominated by mason's and plasters of all kinds. It was
construction of their own homes and the expansion of the brick district that
made it obvious that something had to be done.
When the construction on the walls of New Amber started it was the brick
district that fist organized into neighborhoods and laid out roads on their own.
There was much infighting between the Brickers and Flora who was in charge of
the building of the New Amber. In the end the bricks were allowed to go their
own way to a point. The Brickers consider themselves the most important district
of the new Amber and when they say new Amber in the brick they are talking about
the other new districts that they do not feel the are a part of.
The Brick District has been honored with three great features that make
them the envy of all of Amber. The Royal hall, living memorial to the fallen RBL,
the spire of Oberon and the great University of Amber all have fueled the
Brickers egos that they are truly the center of Amber.
Current Information:
The Brick District is a rock study and all is well. They are pushing to
expand the University and have just finished major aquifer construction so that
all neighborhoods have perfect clean water and well drained waste.
