Now, the protagonist is leading the fleet and his brother Bleys his infantry units to Amber.
Eric recently got to be able to control the weather of Amber and Shadows.
Shadows are parallel worlds of Amber.
I headed us toward an Amber lousy with snow. It was the most horrible blizzard I could conjure up.
The big flakes began to fall, out there on the ocean.

And he did.
Within a half hour's time the blizzard had died.
