Codex Alera: Difference between revisions

* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Averted, arrows are just as much a threat to flesh as the more powerful fury attacks. The Vord generally shrug them off, [[Justified Trope|but they also shrug off fury attacks because of their armored hides]].

* [[Appease the Volcano God]]: Inverted. Kalarus {{spoiler|deliberately provokes the Great Fury Kalus into being as angry as possible in order to take as many Alerans with him as possible when he is finally killed.}}

** The Knights Pisces. The Knights Pisces are dubbed such when Tavi notes they're the "fish" (barely competent recruits) of the Knights available. After [[Took a Level in Badass|taking several collective levels in badass]], and seeing how badly "[[Everythings Worse With Sharks|a bunch of fish]]" can hurt someone, the embrace the name and use it for the rest of the series.

** The Battlecrows, from the same book, sort of. Instead of taking their name from an insult, they take it from the burnt and blackened standard that Tavi carries into battle after it's struck by lightning.
