Line 6:
The series follows the Council members as they fight the New Destiny faction, and the [[Muggles]] who just try to survive the Fallen world, using methods vaguely remembered from historical reenactments.
The series thus far{{when}} includes:
* ''There Will Be Dragons'' (2003)
Line 16:
'''Spoilers below for those who haven't read the first book'''
{{franchisetropes}}
* [[After the End]] - The Fall.
* [[
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]] - Herzer got this before his disease was cured.
* [[All Trolls Are Different]] - Changed elves.
* [[
* [[Asexuality]] - Rachel.
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - And does. None of the primary protagonists (yet), but some have had some very close calls. Some have the hope of being brought back, once the Net is back up, although there's no guarantee of that. Most everyone else is [[Deader Than Dead]], though.
Line 36:
* [[Drop the Hammer]] - The preferred weapon of Edmund, aka {{spoiler|Charles the Hammer, former ruler of Anarchia}}. Given that he started as a blacksmith, this probably isn't surprising.
* [[Fantasy Gun Control]] - Played straight; Mother siphons off the energy of any explosion or other release of energy beyond a certain level, rendering guns useless.
* [[Finders, Rulers]] - Membership in the council is simply a matter of holding a Key. At least two people have made it to the council by stealing a Key.
* [[Fur Bikini]] - [[Justified Trope]], as it can be a way to distract men, while they are in freezing temperatures that don't have any effect on Bast.
* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]] - Averted. Change is a common method of trying out something new, and common.
Line 78:
* [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men]] - Quite a lot of ''Emerald Sea'' and ''Against the Tide'' are about 40th century recreations of this era, due to the Fall and restrictions imposed by Mother, that make combustion-based engines beyond a certain low power output unavailable.
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - Edmund complains about the lack of these in ''There Will Be Dragons''.
* [[Writer
* [[Write Who You Know]] - The merpeople in ''The Emerald Sea'' were based on the crew of a Caribbean cruise ship, as well as some Ringo fans given a fictional counterpart in the series.
