Line 16: Standing with Tavi are his uncle Bernard (an Earth- and Woodcrafter), his aunt Isana (a very powerful Watercrafter), the young Cursor Amara (a Windcrafter) and the half-wit slave [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass\|Fade]], along with the other friends and allies he makes (and one of Tavi's greatest skills is his ability to make allies, especially out of enemies: something lampshaded in the fifth book) as he is swept up in the battles to save Alera. The novels in this series are: ~~The sixth and final book in the series, ''First Lord's Fury'', was released in November 2009.~~ # ''[[Furies of Calderon]]'' (October 5, 2004) # ''[[Academ's Fury]]'' (July 5, 2005) # ''[[Cursor's Fury]]'' (December 5, 2006) # ''[[Captain's Fury]]'' (December 4, 2007) # ''[[Princeps' Fury]]'' (December 2, 2008) # ''[[First Lord's Fury]]'' (November 24, 2009) A [[Codex Alera/Characters\|character sheet]] is now available. ---- {{franchisetropes}} ~~{{tropelist\|The ''[[Codex Alera]]'' series provides examples of:}}~~ * [[Above the Influence]]: When Bernard [[Rescue Romance\|saves Amara from the frozen, flooding Rillwater river]] she leans in to kiss him, but he pulls away since she is cold and hurting, and it would be taking advantage to move forward. * [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Metalcrafters have the ability to sharpen and harden the swords they are using, so they can easily slice through concrete, armor and even ''other swords''. Line 422 ⟶ 428: * [[Peeling Potatoes]]: Tavi pisses off an officer and ends up measuring latrines in ''Cursor's Fury''. * [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: All the High Lords, and ''especially'' the house of Gaius. A single High Lord is said to be equal to an entire cohort of Knights, and Gaius was able to influence weather on a ''continental'' scale. * [[Planet of Hats]]: A rare fantasy [[Averted Trope\|aversion]]. Although there are five different races, each one is shown to have its cowards and its heroes, individuals noble and villainous. The Canim and the Marat may be [[Proud Warrior Race ~~Guys~~Guy]]s, but there's ''far'' more to their outlooks than just killing stuff for honor. It is what makes {{spoiler\|[[The Alliance]] at the end}} possible. {{spoiler\|Even the [[Horde of Alien Locusts]] are exempt, as the original Vord Queen develops a personality very different from her daughters.}} * [[Posthumous Character]]: Princeps Gaius Septimus. In the first book, he is mentioned briefly and it almost seems like a bit of scene-setting: this is why there is a succession crisis and scheming noblemen, and the monsters in the storm are so dangerous the only safe place is a tomb fit for a prince, and that is all we know about him until halfway through the second book. However, Septimus gets developed as a major character later. * [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Lady Aquitaine gives Isana an impassioned (for her, anyway) speech about how she can be trusted to honor loyalty, oppose violence and protect the people she has sworn to protect. Not because she feels some sort of moral duty to do so, but because she knows that that is how she gains loyal servants, preserves Alera as a prosperous whole and sways others to her cause.
