Dragaera/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: Vlad's meeting Khaavren!
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Anything from the end of Issola or Sethra Lavode has a really, really good chance of being epic.
  • Epileptic Trees: It seems every male in Dragaera has been theorized to be Devera's father at some point. Word of God -- confirmed in Tiassa -- says it's Kieron. The founder of the Dragaeran Empire. For obvious reasons, this made the speculation much, much worse.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Pel, the Demon, Sethra...
  • The Scrappy: Savn is seen this way by some of the fandom because the two books in which he's featured deviate to varying extents from using Vlad as a first person narrator. Because of this, it's never clarified to what extent he's ever cured.
  • Values Dissonance : While it's not a universal trait, a number of Dragaerans (at least the really powerful ones) have no compunction against causing the deaths of numerous people in order to achieve their goals and value the lives of their own class more than those of ordinary folk. For example, Aliera refers to her father as being "naughty" for his scheming which accidentally caused the destruction of the imperial capital. And Lady Teldra, a very sympathetic character, thinks of Morrolan's massacre of an entire village as being the actions of merely a somewhat immature and hot-headed Dragon (granted, she has loyalty to him as an employee and is unfailingly polite).
