Line 4:
The ''Chronicles of the Emerged World'' is a recent Italian fantasy saga written by Licia Troisi, and published also in several other European countries ([[No Export for You|Sadly, it is not yet out in the UK.]])
 
The trilogy is set in the Emerged World, where the [[Big Bad|evil "Tyrant" Aster]] is launching a full-fledged war in order to take over the Eight Lands, and has almost taken control of all of them. The young girl Nihal, a Half-Elf (Half-Elves are considered a whole race in this setting) lives with her friends and her adoptive father in the Land of Wind, but then, the Tyrant invade. Armed with the precious [[Thunderbolt Iron|Black Crystal sword]] and along with her [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|friend Sennar]], [[The Unfavorite|Laio]] and her master [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Ido]] she begins her journey to become a Dragon Knight and fight the Tyrant and his army of monsters before it takes over the remaining free lands, and more.
 
The trilogy's titles are: ''Nihal of The Land of the Wind'', ''The Mission of Sennar'' and ''The Talisman of Power''. The series was well-received by readers and became quite popular. It also spawned a sequel trilogy known as ''The Wars of the Emerged World'', but it did not reach the previous series' level of success.

* [[Alliterative Name]]: The evil twins Dameion and Sameion.
* [[Always Chaotic Evil]]: Fammin are a race of Orc-like monsters created as soldiers by the Tyrant. There are however some rare exceptions called the "Wrong ones", who still have feelings and free thoughts... but must obey the orders when their true name is spelled. {{spoiler|However when Aster dies, the remaining Fammin turns good or, at least, harmless and are spared.}}
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: During Nihal's trials to be accepted in the Knighthood, she faces a warrior wielding one, and is forced to resorts to [[Dual -Wielding]] to win.

Line 29:

Line 86:
