The Saga of the Noble Dead: Difference between revisions

 

[[Word of God]] is that the complete series will take place over four arcs total.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Magiere; she has hints of [[Dark Action Girl]] as well despite being the protagonist. Most female elves are also examples.

* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: {{spoiler|Magiere}}

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Magiere's mother died giving birth to her {{spoiler|and her father died in the act of siring her as a key compoment of the ritual that made her conception even possible}}. Leesil's parents sacrificed their own lives to save their teenaged son from Darmouth's hunters {{spoiler|but his mother is actually still alive}}.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: The only things Chane cares about apart from killing are scholarship and Wynn, and he's wiling to risk himself to protect her. Otherwise, he has no redeeming qualities. {{spoiler|By the end of ''Child of a Dead God'', though, he appears to recognize this and seems genuinely depressed about it, which may or may not count as a redeeming quality in and of itself, depending on how charitable one is}}.

* [[Power Incontinence]]: In one book, Wynn uses a spell to give herself mantic sight- the ability to see residual traces of magical energy. Problem is, this turns out to be rather hard to turn ''off'', and has lingering effects throughout the series. Magiere also sometimes has problems controlling her dhampir side.

* [[Punctuation Shaker]]: Most elvish names have at least one apostrophe in them. [[Fridge Brilliance|Considering how hard elvish is to pronounce, though, it's possible that they represent a sound the Latin alphabet has no letter for]].
