Tales of Kolmar: Difference between revisions

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Berys/Malior is one of these, a powerful demon master.

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Berys at times. Most notably, late in ''Redeeming The Lost''. Various characters also notice that when he laughs, it's an unsettlingly ''normal'' laugh, not an [[Evil Laugh|evil one]].

* [[First Person POV]]: Throughout the books. The first one starts with Lanen as an old woman reminiscing about her past, and when the POV changes it's made to seem like others are also telling tales of what happened. Even characters who die by the end of the book are used thus - but spells are cast on some of the human characters to have their thoughts recorded as they think them into books, either to keep track of them or to have records of their accomplishments. Kantri characters, well, after they die it's possible for their soulgems to be used to communicate with the dead and get their stories then.

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

* [[We Are as Mayflies]]: When compared to the True Dragons, who live roughly two thousand years.

* [[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.

* [[Worthless Yellow Rocks]]: The ground turns to gold to at least three inches deep wherever the Kantri sleep. They find it pretty but not valuable, and when Lanen cries out in astonishment about how much gold there is in Akhor's chamber, he's stunned that this yellow metal is the "gold" that humans would kill each other over in the old days.
