Rewrite Rape as Drama example, since it sounded like YMMV or fanfiction. Whoever wrote this must have read a different book series or remembered things wrong.

Line 484:
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: The [[Boisterous Bruiser|Chereks]], [[Fragile Speedster|Algars]], [[Honour Before Reason|Arends]], and [[Blood Knight|Murgos]] all represent different flavors of this trope.
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Beldin theorizes that their particular type of "talent" only shows itself during puberty as a safety precaution, since having baby sorceres around could be highly inconvenient.
* [[Rape as Drama]]: It's implied that Barak raped his [[Arranged Marriage|arranged wife]] Merel during the events of ''Pawn of Prophecy''. And since they already had two children, it's probably happened before. Merel [[Domestic Abuse|puts him through marital hell]] in retaliation, including occasionally [[Asshole Victim|preventing him from seeing his kids]] (and [[Parental Neglect|vice versa]], of course).
* [[Really Gets Around]]:
** Thull women have this reputation, but not in a good way - pregnant women aren't acceptable sacrifices to Torak, so they try to ''always'' be pregnant. The line of Salmissras in Nyissa also act this way, because the potion that keeps them looking young stimulates their [[Anything That Moves|libido]]; one of the reasons the last one doesn't mind being turned into an immortal snake is because, for the first time in years, she ''isn't'' horny. This is the reason why all the functionaries in Salmissra's palace are eunuchs. Even the Nyissans acknowledge that this is a necessity, because if they weren't then nothing would really be able to get done in the palace... for rather obvious reasons if you think about it.
