Line 12:
* [[Expy]]: As it's derived from the old ''Warhammer Fantasy,'' there are multiple examples.
** The Empire of Sonnstahl is The Empire.
** The Kingdom of Equitaine is Bretonnia, though they also have elements of the Crusader States as well in addition to the existing French and Arthurian British elements.
** The Elves are still divided among Highborn, Sylvian and Dread cultures, which correspond to the High, Wood and Dark Elves.
** While Daemons are still referred to as such, Chaos factions are simply referred to as "Warriors of the Dark Gods."
* [[Fan Work]]: The project began as something of a protest of sorts in relation to ''Age of Sigmar.''
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
** Sonnstahl is German for Iron/Steel Sun, which in-verse is a nod to Sunna, the Empire's female founder. It's also the name of Sunna's sword.
** Like Bretonnia, Equitaine excels in cavalry.
* [[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.
* [[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.}}
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|Both Sonnstahl and Equitaine worship Sunna, albeit known as the "Lady" in the latter.}}
* [[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.
