Tales of Kolmar: Difference between revisions

* [[Panacea]]: Lansip leaves are a cure for all ills, and the fruits - just called lan fruits - can heal just about anything. Either can reverse aging, the leaves by being concentrated into a liquor, the fruits just by sheer quantity.

* [[Parental Incest]]: When Lanen meets the man who is possibly her father {{spoiler|he really is}} for the first time, Marik is wearing a charm that causes her to crush very obviously on him. He knows who she is and encourages the crush by flirting. She manages to resist the charm later but is still very charmed by him and wishes she could take him to bed. Later she hears his real name, realizes who he is, and... is not disgusted at all, though any attraction then fades.

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]

* [PrecisionFStrike: Precision S Strike]: "''Oh, shit.''"

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Most of the Kantri, with names like Khordeshkhistriakhor - it's established that the written names are only a rough transcription.

* [[Wangst]]: A couple cases in ''Redeeming The Lost'', after the climax. {{spoiler|Varien becomes a dragon again and Lanen wails and carries on as if he was dead, saying her children are fatherless. Vilkas feels betrayed and renounces his friendship with Aral because of her [[Anguished Declaration of Love]], though he knew about her crush before. What's more, she agreed with him that it was a terrible thing to do.}}

* [[The World Is Just Awesome]]: Lanen spent her early life longing to travel, and when she finally does get to leave home she alternates between being delighted with unfamiliar parts of the world and being dismayed with aspects of travel she never thought about, like lack of bathing facilities. Her account of landing on the Dragon's Isle is an especially vivid case of this.

{{quote| As I stood on the shore my heart beat fast and high, and I felt as though there were iron bands around my chest like the faithful servant in the old tale, though mine were to keep my heart from breaking for joy, not sorrow. I worked hard to draw breath, there on the edge of my dream.}}
