no edit summary
(Corrected with regards to the background as found in the official material. Whole Trope of "Our Founder" removed due to Sunna not being directly involved in the founding of either Avras or the Empire of Sonnstahl.) |

Line 6:
While the project [[Obvious Beta|is still a work in progress]], it's very much playable and can be found [http://www.the-ninth-age.com/ here].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alternate Universe]]/[[Alternate Continuity]]: Of sorts to the original ''Warhammer Fantasy'', notably in how ''The 9th Age'' is set in a continuity where the End Times were averted.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
** The Saurians, like the Lizardmen, are a dinosaur-riding [[Mayincatec]] society.
** The Sonnstahl blade itself is one to Ghal Maraz.
** The Dark Gods, in addition to being references to [[Seven Deadly Sins|The Seven Deadly Sins]] all have elements of the Chaos Gods in various degrees.
* [[Fan Work]]: The project began as something of a protest of sorts in relation to ''Age of Sigmar.''
* [[For the Evulz]]: The Dark Gods are less concerned with bringing about the end of all things than screwing up material reality just because they can.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Averted though more pronounced due to the [[Time Skip]]. Though it's implied to still be in force in the Kingdom of Equitaine.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: The project is still in continuing development.
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|If the "Lady" is indeed a version of Sunna, which has been hinted at in the lore, both Sonnstahl and Equitaine worship her.}}
* [[Reality Subtext]]: In addition to the in-verse lore of the project being set in the titular "9th Age," the title's meant to invoke the theoretical 9th Edition that never came to pass with the End Times event.
* [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]: Intentional. While much has been done to ensure that there's no copyright infringement, it's still evident that the universe is heavily based on ''Warhammer Fantasy'' in all but name. That said, there are enough changes to the names and lore that let the project stand on its own.
