Line 6:
As a result of his attempt to destroy the Piece of Eden at the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed (video game)|Assassin's Creed I]]'', Altair's world takes a turn for the weird when the item rips a hole in space-time in order to defend itself. More specifically, it punches a hole through reality to the world that time forgot--Abeir-Toril, the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' campaign setting, right after the [[Legacy of the Drow Series|the reappearance of Crenishinobon and Artemis Entreri]]. Altair gets dragged along for the ride. Oddly, the artifact seems to be as much at home in Toril as on Earth, and attracts a lot more trouble for our intrepid Assassin, who just wants to find a way home.
 
The journey begins in Calimport, with an [[Literature/Silver Scales|oddly familiar priest and his "dog"]] and it only gets weirder from there.
 
{{tropelist}}
=== This work provides examples of these tropes: ===
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: Altair, to both halves of the crossover to some degree--those more familiar with ''[[Assassin's Creed (video game)|Assassin's Creed I]]'' will probably need the exposition he gets, but those familiar with the Realms and not his game get to learn about it through his internal monologues.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Keras on Immersa.
* [[Call a Smeerp a Rabbit]]: Ash is very obviously not a dog, but everyone insists on referring to him as one, apparently for lack of any other descriptor. Altair is the only one that finds this odd.
* [[Character Filibuster]]: Oceanus's argument with Yinochek.
* [[Crossover]]
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Oceanus, Ash, and Altair vs. Wererats. Riyaz vs. Local Wildlife. Altair, Oceanus, Ash, and Riyaz vs. The Elves. Raaze and Rime vs. Oceanus and Riyaz. Sinya vs. anyone.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Seems to be the case with pretty much all of the other cast members.
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Evasive Fight Thread Episode]]: Altair vs. Entreri. Who would win? Not that they ever find out...
* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Nahuatl, the kraken who attacks during the time the main characters spend on a ship and is [[Kill It with Fire|promptly fired for it]].
* [[Foreshadowing]]: It's less obvious for people who haven't already read the notes for ''[[Literature/Silver Scales|Silver Scales]]'', but most of the characters who are involved in the background scheming don't seem to be even marginally friendly. They're not.
* [[Freudian Trio]]: The three (at the moment) principle characters.
** [[The Ego]]: Altair.
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Oceanus. He dislikes being forced into this role.
* [[Original Character]]: Oceanus, Zahara, Yttress, Riyaz...pretty much every single character Altair has run into was a creation of the author's.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Well, this ''is'' a ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' setting. More to the point, one hybrid of two dragon subspecies is introduced. By that point, [[Fantastically Indifferent|Altair is not much more startled than usual.]]
** {{spoiler|Additionally, nearly every cast member Altair and Maria have met, barring one or two, are dragons in disguise.}}
* [[Random Encounters]]: When you get down to it, this is what most fights in the story boil down to unless the enemy combatants are given names.
