The Amber Trilogy was an unfinished series of role-playing video games by Thalion Software. Unfortunately, due to the collapse of Thalion, only two of the games (Amberstar and Ambermoon) were ever released, and Ambermoon only in a German version (although, years later, an English version emerged which appeared to have been finished by Thalion immediately before the company closed down; the version of the release is 1.07, while the last German version apparently was 1.05).
The games were set in a fictional world called Lyramion. In Amberstar, the character is on a quest to defeat a demon by collecting an artifact called the Amberstar, which had been divided into 13 pieces and scattered all across the world. In Ambermoon, Lyramion has collided with its third moon, dividing it into a number of smaller islets. 90 years has passed since the events in Amberstar took place, and the character is the grandson of the main character in Amberstar (the game starts with the old dying man passing on his knowledge to the character).
The title of what was supposed to be the third and final game was disclosed by game creator Karsten Köper as being Ambersun.
