(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.)

* [[Badass Normal]]: Although largely under the protection of Sunna, the human factions like Equitaine and the Empire of Sonnstahl are very much this. Not to mention how they managed to overcome the Dark Gods at the end of the 8th Age.

* [[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.

* [[Gender Flip]]: In this version, Sigmar is a girl named Sunna. But unlike her male counterpart however, she's empowered by the sun rather than a comet. And unlike Sigmar, she's more Greco-Roman heroine than [[Barbarian Hero]] in her backstory, given her role in founding Avras {{spoiler|and serving as the "Lady" worshipped by Equitaine}}.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Compared to the End Times of ''Warhammer Fantasy'' at least. This time around, not only was it ultimately averted, but the by the setting's "present" age, the Dark Gods are being pushed back.

* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|If the "Lady" is indeed a version of Sunna, both Sonnstahl and Equitaine worship her.}}
* [[Our Founder]]: Avras, the Roman analogue in the setting, was founded by Sunna, much like how she later established the Empire of Sonnstahl. {{spoiler|It's also revealed in the lore that she's also the "Lady" worshiped in Equitaine.}}

* [[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.
