Line 1: {{work}} [[File:FitzAndNighteyes_1805.jpg\|frame\|Fitz and Nighteyes, by Michael Whelan]] '''The Realm of the Elderlings''' is the universe in which the majority of [[Robin Hobb]]'s work takes place. It is currently comprised of the ''Farseer'', ''Liveship Traders'' and ''Tawny Man'' trilogies and the ''Rain Wilds Chronicles'' quartet, as well as at least one upcoming book. There are also the related stories "Homecoming", "The Inheritance", "Words Like Coins", "Blue Boots" and "Cat's Meat". {{tropelist}} '''Tropes Common To The Universe''' * [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: The Elderling civilization seems to have been this and based on ** [[Magitek]] Line 13 ⟶ 11: * [[Our Elves Are Better]]: The Elderlings combine this with [[Lizard Folk]] * [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Dragons are intelligent can fly and breath acid as a weapon. They also have a complex life cycle beginning as Sea Serpents, going upriver to cocoonthemselves and emerging as dragons. The disruption of this cycle is what created the current state of the world '''The Farseer Trilogy''': * ''Assassin's Apprentice'' * ''Royal Assassin'' Line 118 ⟶ 114: ** The [[Theme Naming]] does pan out, from what we see. Shrewd is a cunning old bastard, Verity is honest and blunt-spoken, Chivalry is said to have edged into [[Honor Before Reason]] territory. Regal arguably lives up to his name as well, considering its connotations do fit with the power and wealth that are his entire pursuit in life. * [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]]: Verity is said to have [[Stout Strength]], while Kettricken comes from tall, nimble Mountain folk. * [[Training ~~From~~from Hell]]: What Galen does. * [[Tsundere]]: Molly. * [[Undying Loyalty]]: Although several characters are notable for their unwavering loyalty to the person or a cause, Burrich stands out among them.
