Line 52:
* [[The Archmage]]: Yugman the Sage, one of the handful of characters in the setting who's past level 20.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Special mention goes to Vangal and his followers, even more so because his weapon of choice is a pair of axes.
* [[Bad Powers, Bad People]]: Subverted by the necromantic magocracy of Hollowfaust. They're necromancers, but rule one of the safest cities on Ghelspad, and are interested more in knowledge than power. That said, most of them are of a neutral alignment and aren't nessicarily nice or fair. A few are even evil, but a restrained evil that the rest find tolerable.
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: In this case, the balance exists, but isn't truly necessary. The gods know they aren't invincible, and aren't eager to go the way of the titans. They've all agreed to a Divine Truce that prevents them from directly warring on one another, instead pursuing their goals through their servants, as well as any personal conflict.
* [[Base On Wheels]]: The underground dark elf city Dire Drendal is periodically moved by a legion of golems, to keep their dwarven enemies from finding it.
Line 68:
** Not that it doesn't happen, mind-see [[Was Once a Man]].
* [[Defiled Forever]]: The goddess Tanil, who is permanently depressed. If it's because her own father raped her, if it's because she got her revenge by pretending to let him join the Gods in the war and then murdered him, or if it's because of how the war destroyed the land... well, take your pick.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The setting actually discouraged this. The books emphasize that the Gods are likely to be far more powerful than any player character, and they're nearly all-powerful on their home planes, which they never leave. The Titans are so powerful that they aren't even given statistics. Because of this, epic level characters and feats are rarely used in the setting, although not directly taken out.
* [[Dream Land]]: A plane called the Dreamlands, ruled by the demi-god of dreams Erias. The main location of his mortal worshippers, the Drifiting Isle is also influenced by dreams. {{spoiler|Blood Bayou is also revealed to be a dream land, which is why reality keeps shifting there.}}
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: {{in-universe}} Probably the reason the Titan [[Egomaniac Hunter|Hirinruuk]] has a cult, despite his abhorrent personality and habit of creating powerful monsters to hunt (he made the ''Tarrasque'' so he could have something to stop being bored after the excitement of the Divine War ended). He even looks the part, seeming for all the world like a normal, if [[Bishonen]] man who is stated to be the most charismatic of the Titans. His lead cultist is implied to be an ex-girlfriend.
Line 107:
* [[Nay Theist]]: Due to the destruction that the Divine Wars caused, there're some people who feel that the world would be better off without gods or titans. The other variant is mentioned, people who acknowledge the god's existence, but question by what standard are they "gods", a philosophy most people in the setting take a dim view of.
* [[Neglectful Precursors]]: While the Titans can't be killed, the Gods were still pretty sloppy in disposing of their remains, which have tainted the land and it's creatures. However, the worst examples apply to Titans who were killed by the evil gods. One passage believed to be written by Chardun says that the aforementioned Blood Sea was the fault of Vangal, who decided to chuck Kadum into the ocean after they bound him.
* [[Multi
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]: You can make your own!
* [[Parental Incest]]: Hrinruuk raped his daughter Tanil, resulting in the birth of Idra. Mesos also tricked his daughter Belsameth into coupling with him while he was in disguise, conceiving Erias, the demigod of dreams.
