Line 18:
** 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 [[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.
* [[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.
Line 30 ⟶ 32:
* [[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.
* [[The Seven Deadly Sins]]: The Dark Gods are inspired by these.
* [[Time Skip]]: After a fashion. [[Word of God]] is that in addition to the Renaissance analogies, the setting is experiencing its own Age of Exploration. In addition, colonialism features more in the lore.
