* [[Becoming the Mask]]: An interesting example with Emperor Shiarkiek. He was always more comfortable as a scholar than an emperor, and over the years "played" at scholar more and more until he forgot his true responsibility as emperor (at least that's how he sees it. He might be being a bit harsh on himself). He also feels that his true identity - defined, as with many Romulans, by his personal honour - is now lost to him.

* [[Blood On the Debate Floor]]: To the shock of the other senators, Praetor Dralath murders a member of the government on the Senate Chamber floor. There's a reason why a character in later books says that Dralath caused more damage to Romulan honour than any other leader she remembers.

* [[Capital City]]: Romulus' capital is given the name Ki Baratan. It had previously been called Dartha, but that was in a story set a century prior. Later novels used the time gap for a reasonable [[Retcon]]: the capital's name changes as new regimes come to power. Now, books set in the 22nd or 23rd centuries use "Dartha", those set in the 24th use "Ki Baratan". The name change is explicitly mentioned in the first [[Star Trek Titan]] novel.

* [[Career Killers]]: Spock notes the body language of several Romulan youths, which suggests to him that they are this. One of them is Neral, [[Call Forward|who will one day be praetor]] (though he becomes somewhat more honourable).
