Line 30:
* [[Genocide Backfire]]: The elves kill every halfblood they get their hands on, especially children and the unborn. Unfortunately for them, this directly led to Shana being raised by dragons, stirring up the remaining halfbloods to action, and bringing the dragons into the war.
* [[Gladiator Games]]: Conflicts between elvenlords are dealt with by having their human gladiators fight each other.
* [[Half
* [[Immortality Begins At Twenty]]: The elves age at the same rate as humans up until they are physically adults, then age ''extremely'' slowly, living about 1000 years.
* [[Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality]]: Male elves usually have ''far'' more magical power than females, but as it turns out, weak females have a lot more ''control'', allowing them to do a wide variety of useful things by using very little magic to alter their surroundings, like plants (food/shelter), animals (taming/control), minds (rewriting memories), themselves (minor shapeshifting), and enemies (stopping hearts). Not as flashy as giant illusions, fireballs, earthquakes, and so forth, but it gets the job done.
Line 45:
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: They are shapeshifting dragons who use weather magic.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: Extremely long-lived, but not immortal, the elves have powerful magic and are actually from another world where they were nearly wiped out in a long war with another faction.

Similarly, he refuses to engage in [[Politically
* [[Psychic Powers]]: The "magic" of the humans, which is typically telepathy and telekinesis.
* [[Raised By Wolves|Raised By Dragons]]: Shana doesn't really understand either human or elven society all that well, due to spending her first 16 years among dragons.
Line 52:
* [[Reverse Mole]]: {{spoiler|''General'' Kyrtian V'dyll Lord Prastaran by the end of ''Elvenborn''.}}
* [[Screw You Elves]]: Pretty much the basis of the entire trilogy.
* [[Self
* [[Shape Shifter Baggage]]: [[Averted]], the dragon shift their excess mass to another dimension they call the Out. They cannot assume a form larger than themselves and they can only shift so much mass depending on individual ability.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Keman, who speaks this way when first introduced because that's what's expected from a dragon.
