''AdventureQuest Worlds'' is an expanded universe of [[~~Artix Entertainment (Creator)|~~Artix Entertainment]], a company originally created for single player flash games, and it's their first step into the MMO market. Launched five years after the company's first game, ''[[~~Adventure Quest (Video Game)|~~Adventure Quest]]'', the game follows its own chaotic storyline, but with NPCs from all the previous AE games (AQ, ''[[~~Dragon Fable (Video Game)|~~Dragon Fable]]'' [a walkaround RPG] and ''[[~~Mechquest (Video Game)|~~Mechquest]]'', a [[Humongous Mecha|Giant Robots]] RPG, or DF [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]] The monsters are more recognisable.

''AdventureQuest Worlds'' is an expanded universe of [[Artix Entertainment]], a company originally created for single player flash games, and it's their first step into the MMO market. Launched five years after the company's first game, ''[[Adventure Quest]]'', the game follows its own chaotic storyline, but with NPCs from all the previous AE games (AQ, ''[[Dragon Fable]]'' [a walkaround RPG] and ''[[Mechquest]]'', a [[Humongous Mecha|Giant Robots]] RPG, or DF [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]] The monsters are more recognisable.

The game follows your character on his or her path to become [[The Hero]] of a legend. After saving a dragon from a princess (Yes), he or she moves to Swordhaven, in hope of getting their reward. Instead, they found a burning city filled with undead and a giant, flying dracolich hovering just above the King's medieval castle. As he/she journeys inside it, they now start watching the overwhelming number of undead try to destroy the city, while the paladin Artix -- ([[Author Avatar|yes, that one]]) -- tries fighting them all in vain. [[The Hero]] goes to the throne-room to 'help the King', but instead they get to watch the legendary battle of Good vs Evil unfold: King Alteon, king of Swordhaven and ''all of his Pactagonal Knights'' versus Sepulchure, lord of the legendary ShadowScythe and proclaimed '''Master of the Undead'''. The two arch-enemies fight a fierce battle, with neither gaining advantage over the other. As they proceed to unleash their most powerful techniques... Something ''unexpected'' happens.

Line 12:

One of the primary features of the game is the abundance of Classes that one can pick and choose from. Since classes are treated much like any other item in your inventory (with the only stipulation that you ''must'' have a class and a weapon equipped at all times), it is quite possible for your character to have many different classes (as opposed to ''just'' one or two for the entirety of his or her in-game career like in other MMO games), with the only major limitations being that you can only have one class equipped at any given time and you cannot change classes (or any other items in your inventory for that matter) while bonking monsters in mid-battle.

Alongside the events of the main storyline, ''AQWorlds'' also hosts weekly updates consisting of items, a player suggestion shop, random holidays (like ''Taco Day'' and ''Pancake Day''), and their world-famous Live Events. They so far have had six Friday the 13th Events (all of which had special guests [[Voltaire (~~Music~~)|Voltaire]]) and the ''Mythsong Finale - Live Event'' with One Eyed Doll (they ''also'' appeared in the July 2010 ''Friday the 13th'' event), the ''2nd Birthday Live Event'' with [[Paul and Storm]] and [[Jonathan Coulton]], the ''Fear-Chaser'' event with Ayi Jihu and the direct crossover with web-comic [[Ctrl Alt Del]], which all include voice acting and rare items to coincide with the events. George Lowe has also done advertisement and was also a special guest in the August 2010 Friday the 13th Event...

According to Cysero, [[Arc Attack]] (known for their third-place victory in 2010 ''America's Got Talent'') became part of a musical number near the Doomwood finale. Other live events which also include rare items were held featuring the Third Birthday event with [[They Might Be Giants]], the 2012 ''Heroes Heart Day'' event with Mia J. Park, and [[The Magic Thief]] event starring Conn, Benet, Rowan, Pettivox, and the Duchess.

*** Jorxlol, for those who have read the Forgotten Realms series is a complete and utter expy of Jarlaxle, the infamous rainbow-cape wearing rogue drow and leader of Breagan D'arthe. He is depicted as bald and wearing an eyepatch in-game, but sadly without his epic rainbow cape or feathered hat.

Line 157:

Then we have the hero becoming an undead slave to the paladin slayer--who is also immune to undead slaying magic. Oh and we have someone who wants Artix dead for her own personal reasons. And this is just the FIRST part of the arc!}}

She's not only revived Noxus, but also is the reason that Vordred is invulnerable to paladin magic.

Line 209:

** While Sepulchure tends to do evil things every other day and night, he does seem to have a kind, gentle side that shows up every Frostval, and shares with the rest of the Shadowscythe the joy of Frostval. Even Gravelyn gets into the spirit of Frostval as well, despite her heart now being so cold as to be as cold as her father's was back then that she may not have the experience to share the joy of Frostval any longer.

*** And in the finale of Doomwood Part 2, {{spoiler|1=Sepulchure has a difficult time deciding whether he should slay his daughter or not. Finally, he refuses to do so and lowers his DoomBlade instead. [[Villainous Breakdown|The]] [[Villainous Breakdown|DoomBlade]] [[Villainous Breakdown|does not take that well]]}}.

* [[Fog of Doom]]: Lionfang's defense against the hero in the 1st Birthday event is a fog that would kill anyone. Luckily, Gravelyn discovered that it didn't work on those who were already Undead.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Regarding Artix {{spoiler|being the Champion of Darkness}} in Doomwood saga. To list: {{spoiler|In the beginning, King Alteon doesn't want Artix to go near Doomwood fearing it might awaken his dark powers somehow. When meeting Sally in the Tower of Necromancy, she hinted that Artix was more than just a paladin and the key to Vordred's ''true'' invincibility. In Necro U, the lecturers mentioned the art of necromancy involving the Darkness Realm and trapping spirit orbs to reanimate the undead, meantime revealing Artix's axe having hosted multiple spirit orbs gained from slaying the undead. And finally, in the Temple of Doomwood, the Stone Paladin recalls Lady Celestia from ''[[~~Dragon Fable (Video Game)|~~Dragon Fable]]'' bringing in young Artix to the Paladin Order and his apparent inability to cast light spells as the Hero learns of elemental champions and Artix's "Paladin" abilities come from the spirit orbs from the undead he had slain.}}

* [[Four Is Death]]: Kitsune is the fourth Chaos Lord plus he hails from the Japanese-themed Yokai Island. Makes perfect sense as the number four is considered unlucky in both Japanese and Chinese superstitions.

** To defeat Ledgermayne, you need to collect four items of the Arcane Staff. It's subverted because {{spoiler|the fourth item, the chaos gem, is shattered by Ledgermayne, and its particles are too weak to use against him. However his comeuppance is due when Drakath gives the Chaos Gem enough power to destroy him.}}

In the game, however, the character in question is referred to simply as [[The Hero]].

* [[Hero-Killer]]: {{spoiler|Vordred, the Paladin Slayer. He's killed every Paladin there is except one. (Well, two actually. There was one other that survived, but he was turned to stone.) See [[Last of His Kind]] for details}}.

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Or in this case, VILLAINS want redheads. So many people have joined Evil simply because they like how Gravelyn looks.

Line 277:

* [[Homage]]: Escherion and parts of Chiral Valley is based on M.C. Escher and his artwork.

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: {{spoiler|The "preview" fight with Vordred early on in Doomwood, which basically cancels out anything the players do to him}}.

** {{spoiler|When the player gets to the Necro Tower they soon know why: Sally from ''[[~~Dragon Fable (Video Game)|~~Dragon Fable]]'' has summoned Noxus and used her magic to bring back Vordred to be invulnerable to light-based magic. It's ultimately revealed that this invulnerability comes from the armor of skulls that he wears and the regenerative abilities of his Shadow form, and only by destroying the armor with Spirit Orbs and pinning down his Shadow is Vordred finally able to be defeated}}.

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: So far, only a few villains have actually died. The rest have just been defeated and left with an unpleasant fate.

** Escherion: The hero reflected his inversion spell back at him, inverting his powers, which eventually led to him turning himself into a frog.

Line 350:

** The evil heroes wearing/using light items. You can even buy and use stuff from Artix's Paladin shop even if you're evil.

*** Captain Stratos' now-rare Skyguard Outfitters shop also has items that even Evil characters can buy and wear/use.

** There is also Sek-Duat from ''[[~~Dragon Fable (Video Game)|~~Dragon Fable]]''.

** There is also Sek-Duat from ''[[Dragon Fable]]''.

** Xavier Lionfang Maximilian's brother also counts

** {{spoiler|Doomwood II revealed that Gravelyn is The Champion of Light}}

Line 379:

** If you send for Zorbak, {{spoiler|he ends up stomping Vordred right into the dirt. He then plans on making Vordred's head into a throne for himself. Turns out he wants to add the throne to his collection, which includes Drakonnan's helmet. The hero and Zorbak then talk about the other elemental champions, in particular the question about who is the Champion of Light if Artix is the Champion of Darkness. The hero has an idea who it might be, which leads us to...}}

** If you send for {{spoiler|Daimyo}}, {{spoiler|we get the real ending, where Daimyo basically does the same thing to Vordred as Zorbak, minus the making of Vordred's head into a throne. The Hero tries to give the Shadowscythe Amulet to Artix, but Artix tells you that you can keep it, as you are the one person that he trusts the most. We then cut to Sally, who has lost all of her friends, looking pretty down about herself. Then Drakath arrives. Sally asks if he's going to make her a Chaos Lord, and Drakath says no. He then gives her Vordred's skull. Sally is overjoyed by this, and plans to bring back the original Necropolis -- as well as Vordred. We'll be hearing from them again.}}

** And finally, if you betray Artix, {{spoiler|you stab him (quite literally) in the back with your weapon and kill him as you declare that you are joining Vordred, with Artix's last words being "I'm sorry...everyone..." and Vordred saying something to the effect of "That was unexpected." This leads to the [[Bad Ending]] as Vordred becomes the Champion of Darkness and unleashes a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] upon Lore, shortly after [[Rewarded As a Traitor Deserves|rewarding you as you very much deserve]] by killing you and turning you into an undead. Then the game seemingly ends, telling you that the villain has won, with the adventure continuing in "Adventure Quest Worlds: Zombies." Then the credits roll before the game gives you a "Time warp...?" button to bring you back into the game}}.

*** The game further [[You Bastard|rubs things in]] with the description for the {{spoiler|Backstab Blade}} in the Bad Ending shop: {{spoiler|"How COULD you? Artix was your friend. He TRUSTED you! I hope you're happy now. Traitor."}}

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|Nythera says this due to the fact that the Void Giant she summoned to the Void Temple for her third and final challenge for the "Test of the Suitor" is out of control and is attempting to destroy the temple.}}

Line 403:

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Artix, like most Paladins, are eager to jump in and just maim any Undead out there. {{spoiler|However, Artix is shown to be very caring for the spirits he 'slays' and they in return help him use Paladin Magic since he is an Undead Slayer.}}

* [[Obviously Evil]]: Drakath, Sepulchure, {{spoiler|Dage the Evil}}, {{spoiler|Miltonius/Nulgath}}, the Black Knight, Gressil, King Alteon the Imbalanced (a.k.a. Mirror Alteon), {{spoiler|Undead Artix}}, Vertigo, Nyctox, Thanatops, {{spoiler|FEAR}}, Lord Krom Wrath, {{spoiler|Vordred}}, {{spoiler|Noxus}}, and Xan.

* [[Off ~~With~~ His Head]]: You do this to {{spoiler|Undead Artix}} in the post-battle cutscene during the 2nd Birthday Event.

* [[Off with His Head]]: You do this to {{spoiler|Undead Artix}} in the post-battle cutscene during the 2nd Birthday Event.

* [[Offered the Crown]]: {{spoiler|After the defeat of Tibicenas, the Hero is offered rulership of the Sandsea. The Hero still has a lot of enemies to defeat, so he or she hands over the crown to Zhoom}}.

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Spoofed in one part of the 2010 Friday the 13th Event. George Lowe mentions that there was an epic chase sequence with One-Eyed Doll.

Line 409:

** Zahart also gets one when he sees that Zhoom has destroyed his magic ring, {{spoiler|just before Tibicenas brainwashes his former master into his new slave after being free via destruction of the ring}}.

** We also have Artix as well, who gets one when he notices the Fear Feeder, starting to quiver in fear afterwards. That's rather unusual for a paladin, even though he usually only fears the color pink.

*** Or it could be [[Fridge Brilliance]]. It's a [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Fear Feeder]] and it grows stronger by feeding on fears. It would feed on Artix's fear of pink, and grow so strong that even Artix, the Undead-slaying Paladin, wouldn't be able to stop it.

** Discordia, Ledgermayne, {{spoiler|Tibicenas, and Ultra-Tibicenas}} get quite a hilarious "[[Oh Crap]]" look on their faces once they're out of hit points.

*** To be fair, that's because Ledgermayne, {{spoiler|Tibicenas, and Ultra-Tibicenas}} were built on Discordia. The face that is shown when they're defeated is the same face he uses when he's screaming and when he's defeated.

Line 425:

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Deady does this in the 2011 Friday the 13th event when Lord Krom Wrath calls him pathetic for hiding in his teddy-bear disguise, insulting him for his lack of a sense of style and complying with his desire to see his true form before doing so. When the player asks why he doesn't do it all the time, Deady mentions that it's hard to get his real form back to the bear outfit.

** Midway through the final showdown with Baron Luca in the 2011 Mogloween event, he takes on a monstrous form that would do [[Castlevania|Dracula]] proud.

* [[Orcus On His Throne]]: Drakath {{spoiler|Well so far he did leave his throne in The Arcangrove Saga}}

* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: Drakath {{spoiler|Well so far he did leave his throne in The Arcangrove Saga}}

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Lots of Dragons out there. Also, another one of the main themes of Etherstorm Wastes.

* [[Our Genies Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Tibicenas, Saahir, & The Efreet}}

Line 457:

* [[Revenge]]: {{spoiler|Tibicenas' motivation against the Efreet for all the years he made him spend as an outcast after kicking him out of the Djinn world}}.

** Vayle is ''very'' pissed at Artix for {{spoiler|breaking the crystal that had her brother's spirit inside}}.

* [[The End - Or Is It?]]: {{spoiler|Shadowslayer Z killed Wolfwing and he's now ashes, no longer able to hurt anyone....well, until the Moon shone on the ashes and a pair of eyes were seen.}}

** {{spoiler|After Vordred is defeated, Drakath gives his skull to Sally, who promises to make him more powerful than ever}}.

* [[Red and Black ~~And~~ Evil All Over]]: Gravelyn has red hair, red armor and a black cape

* [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]]: Gravelyn has red hair, red armor and a black cape

** The Hero has the option to subvert this or play it straight

* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Artix's axe is just an ordinary axe powered up with spirit orbs from the undead he's killed. His real power comes from being an Undead Slayer, whose sworn duty it is to free the spirits of the undead from their bondage by using the power of their orbs to destroy them}}.

Line 467:

** In the recent Skyguard update, {{spoiler|Invidia reveals to the Hero that she's actually Exos' Dreamweaver in disguise. Turns out she was being controlled by Exos the whole time, and is actually very remorseful for it}}.

** At the end of the Doom War, it's revealed that {{spoiler|the Champion of Light is none other than Gravelyn, and that this is the reason that Sepulchure kept her a secret}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Rewarded As a Traitor Deserves]]: Vordred's "reward" if you betray Artix during the final battle is to be the first to be made into an undead as he unleashes a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] upon Lore.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves]]: Vordred's "reward" if you betray Artix during the final battle is to be the first to be made into an undead as he unleashes a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] upon Lore.}}

* [[Riddle of the Sphinx]]: The design notes mention this trope. Of course, they say that the only riddle the Chaos Sphinx, the seventh Chaos Beast, provides is how to survive its brutal onslaught.

** The description for the Chaos Sphinx pet that it drops is also related to the [[Riddle of the Sphinx]], as it says, "Riddle me this, riddle me that, isn't this the most chaotic sphinx pet you ever did pat?"

Line 480:

** And as of Bloodtusk Ravine {{spoiler|Three members of the Trolls have been corrupted by chaos (antigone, Krellenos and Khassandra, two of them killed.}}

* [[Running Gag]]: Every time Friday the 13th is here, Voltaire has done a live event. Deady lampshades this by saying that the hero and Voltaire only meet up at that day.

* [[Satan]]: Even if its a kids game,{{spoiler|[[Faust]] [[Meaningful Name|is based on Satan]]. He even makes Don Giovanni, the guy who gives you the quest to take him down, a [[Deal ~~With~~ the Devil]], for crying out loud! he even looks like a chaos version of The Devil}}

** Also {{spoiler|Miltonius/Nulgath who makes similar deals to the player}}.

** Guess {{spoiler|Dage the Evil}} counts as well to some extent.

* [[Save the Princess]]: Inverted as you have to save both the dragon and the princess from the Cursed Ring of Dragon Control in the prologue. Also note that this quest is called "Save the Dragon from the Princess" for a reason.

** The Shadowfall War counts as this, only here it's Save The ''Empress''.

* [[Screw You Elves|Screw You Drows]]: With the way that Vath generally treated the Dwarves during the Dwarfhold saga, this was pretty inevitable.

* [[Screw You, Elves|Screw You Drows]]: With the way that Vath generally treated the Dwarves during the Dwarfhold saga, this was pretty inevitable.

* [[Scripted Event]]: Whether you choose to kill {{spoiler|Wolfwing}} or not, {{spoiler|Shadowslayer Z will kill him either way.}}

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Pretty much every one of the Beasts of Chaos, who mainly serve as [[The Dragon]] for the Chaos Lord who awakens them. So far, we have {{spoiler|the Hydra, the Rock Roc, O-Dokuro, the Dracowerepyre, Pony Gary Yellow, the Mana Golem and the Chaos Sphinx}}. And let's not forget whatever is going to be unleashed upon Lore when all thirteen of Drakath's seals are broken...

And let's not forget whatever is going to be unleashed upon Lore when all thirteen of Drakath's seals are broken...

** {{spoiler|The Dracowerepyre is more of a created evil then a [[Sealed Evil in A Can]] since Wolfwing just bites a random dragon before it transforms to The Dracowerepyre}}

* [[Secret Keeper]]: {{spoiler|Sally is hiding the fact that Artix may not just only be a Paladin...}}

** {{spoiler|Artix is actually the Champion of Darkness.}}

Line 495:

* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Drakath as well as Thok even The Hero can choose to be this trope.

** There is also Vordred, with his skull based armor.

* [[Shout-Out]]: All your opponents are knockoffs of anime characters in the Dragon Koi Tournament in Akiba. There's [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~)|Bash Ketchup with Pocky Chew]], [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals|Nurse Jenny]] (who mentions a Nurse Bliss), [[Naruto|NOTruto]], [[Inuyasha ~~(Manga)~~|Neko Yasha]], [[Mortal Kombat|Spork-ion, Absolute Zero]], and [[~~Dragonball~~|Ryoku]].

*** The latest quest involves Don Giovanni, who sold his soul to a demon named Faust. This is a reference to an opera where a man named Faust sold his soul to the Devil.

** Chaos Lord Discordia is based on The Phantom of the Opera. {{spoiler|But he's not the REAL Chaos Lord of Mythsong}}.

Line 504:

*** Then again, the Children of the Candycorn part of the Mogloween events is pretty much based on [[Children of the Corn]].

** Baron Luca from the 2011 Mogloween Event is based on Dracula from [[Castlevania]], as he turns into a second, demonic form at half of his health.

** The Brutal Annihilator armor looks similar to Hades from [[God of War (~~Video Game~~)|God of War]]

** The Brutal Annihilator armor looks similar to Hades from [[God of War (series)|God of War]]

** The female version of the Jack Rabbit armor and helm bear quite the resemblance to Jack's look from ''[[~~Mass Effect 3 (Video Game)|~~Mass Effect 3]]''.

** The female version of the Jack Rabbit armor and helm bear quite the resemblance to Jack's look from ''[[Mass Effect 3]]''.

* [[Smug Snake]]: There are 3 Chaos Lords who are this Escherion, Vath and Ledgermayne

** Ledgermayne believes that Drakath could possibly be one due to what it calls his "overconfidence". Of course, since Drakath is more of a possible [[Magnificent Bastard]] than an actual [[Smug Snake]], he knew that, as he puts it, "Ledgermayne simply needed to learn a lesson: Nobody disobeys me."

Line 536:

** AND bear teeth, to make new teeth for llamas.

* [[Take That]]: On one of ''AQWorlds'' latest banners they give a very thinly veiled pun to those obnoxious ''[[Evony]]'' ads.

** In the recently-finished Werewolf/Vampire War in Darkovia, the main boss fight is [[Twilight (~~Literature~~)|a sparkly vampire that goes by the name of Edvard]], whose girlfriend Beulah dumped him for a werewolf. For the first day or so, [[Anticlimax Boss|he was the weakest boss in the whole game, with only 900 hit points and very little in the way of damage]].

*** At the introduction of the "Noob" area, the home screen stated [[Runescape|What kind of game makes you kill Rats, anyways?]] You should be saving them!"

*** Don't forget the Evil Dread part of the August 2010 Friday the 13th Event. In order to stop Beleen's pink monsters, they have to say the fail-safe words from the movie ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'', the Hero and Artix make jabs on the fact that the remake didn't state the infamous words--[[Klaatu Barada Nikto|you know the words]]--any time during the film.

* [[Tears of Blood]]: {{spoiler|Actually, in this case, Tears of Lava. FEAR, the big boss of the Fear Chaser event, has these}}.

Line 562:

** {{spoiler|Gravelyn, Champion of Light.}}

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Drakath, compared to his level of power in the other games.

** Well he is powerful in the original ''[[~~Adventure Quest (Video Game)|~~Adventure Quest]]'' as well.

** Well he is powerful in the original ''[[Adventure Quest]]'' as well.

** Artix counts also. {{spoiler|Known to be a paladin in many a game, in this one he's the Champion of Darkness who cannot use light-based magic, but the spirit-orb based power of an Undead Slayer.}}

* [[Too Many Belts|Too Many Skulls]]: According to the Design Notes, Nulgath designed Vordred with skulls. He asked Artix if it was enough to which Artix sarcastically quotes it wasn't...and the final result is this.

Line 590:

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: During the second part of the Giant storyline, your character learns about a village of Smuurvils (basically blue Smurf-like Sneevils) and promptly suggests feeding the Smuurvil village to the Giant so that he'll be too full to eat the villagers that he or she is trying to free. The village elder is ''horrified''. Then after he makes the suggestion of using a sleeping potion on the giant, your character then has the idea of feeding one of the villagers to the Giant with the potion so that the rest can get away, to which the poor elder's only appropriate response is "WHAT IS '''WRONG''' WITH YOU?!" Thankfully, your character wises up soon afterward.

** At the end of the Etherstorm saga, {{spoiler|you get one of these from Hs'Sakar after you slay Desoloth (the result of Evil winning the Etherstorm War) instead of sealing him like he and the other Dravix wanted, accusing you of taking away their ability to choose what happens to him out of sheer rash arrogance. Depending on how you answer Hs'Sakar's final question, he either sends you on your way after some restitution for all the death that resulted when Desoloth was freed, or he declares you [[Persona Non Grata]] before kicking you out of Etherstorm. Either way, you're also stripped of your Air power on the request of Ang'st, as "you do not deserve its blessing."}}

* [[What Happened to ~~The~~ Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|So far it's unknown what happened to Vath after Stalagbite took him away}}.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|So far it's unknown what happened to Vath after Stalagbite took him away}}.

** {{spoiler|Stalagbite is a dragon. A very angry dragon. Chances are, we don't want to know what happened to Vath after Stalagbite has his way with him...}}

* [[What If]]: ''Adventure Quest Worlds Zombies'' is based on a question of what would happen if {{spoiler|Drakath never intervened in the showdown between King Alteon and Sepulchure}}.

Line 614:

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: In some scenes, Drakath thinks the Hero is a Worthy Foe.

* [[Wutai]]: Akiba and the Yokai Isle in general are the primary "Asian" area of Lore, leaning primarily toward the Japanese end of the spectrum. They're also where you will find Kitsune, the fourth major Chaos Lord.

* [[You and What Army]]: Escherion says this verbatim to the hero. The hero has an army of the citizens of Mobius {{spoiler|who get hit by an inversion spell and go against the player.}}

* [[You and What Army?]]: Escherion says this verbatim to the hero. The hero has an army of the citizens of Mobius {{spoiler|who get hit by an inversion spell and go against the player.}}

* [[You All Look Familiar]]: Everyone including the players have the same face while Drakath's Human Face is one of a kind while His Chaos Face not so much since other players will have it

** We even have Vath and his Drow (Dark Elves) they all have the same face and some have the same haircut as Vath

Line 627:

** And Ledgermayne becomes [[The Starscream]] to him because it feels that it no longer has any need for him after finding out his supposed overconfidence.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: Gravelyn would like nothing more than to make Drakath pay for killing her father, Sepulchure, and bringing the ShadowScythe Empire further into ruin.

** In the Mirror Realm storyline, we learn that this is also true of Mirror Drakath, hearkening back to his story in ''[[~~Dragon Fable (Video Game)|~~Dragon Fable]]'' in which he was the son of the Evil King that the present King Alteon overthrew.

** In the Mirror Realm storyline, we learn that this is also true of Mirror Drakath, hearkening back to his story in ''[[Dragon Fable]]'' in which he was the son of the Evil King that the present King Alteon overthrew.

* [[You Mean "Xmas"]]: Just like AQ, DF, and MQ, Mogloween (Halloween), the Harvest Festival (Thanksgiving), Frostval (Christmas), Heroes Heart Day (Valentine's Day), Good Luck Day (St. Patrick's Day), Grenwog (Easter), Planet Day (Earth Day), and Freedom Day (Independence Day).

* [[You're Insane!]]: In the cutscene played after defeating Andre's Giant Necklace, Andre thinks that what the hero did is insane when he/she tells him to pick on somebody his own size next time he captures the villagers. He thinks that the hero poisoned his son, but the hero tells him that he's perfectly fine and that he's just taking a nap, which Crychek finishes with "...in yer soup."
