* [[A Father to His Men|A Mother To Her Men]]: The Kalakar.
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Avandar to Jewel. Alina di'Lamberto also qualifies by the standards of the clansmen. It's the reason she's sent North as a hostage.
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]: The Shining Court of the Kialli is most definitely this, mostly minus the decadence. The Tor Leonne comes close, and the deadliness is again greater than the decadence.
* [[Deal
** Also common within the Ten, the major Houses of Essalieyan. The actual royal court has provisions in place to limit the damage done by House wars.
* [[Death
** Also the very beginning of the first book, in which Askeyia is kidnapped and raped. Notable in that her kidnapping is explicitly because as healer-born she, unlike everyone else, can survive long enough to die ''in'' childbirth rather than ''before'' childbirth.
* [[Death God]]: Two. Mandaros is the god of the dead and the Lord of Judgment. The Lady is the god of death in the sense of dying. The former gets prayers. The latter, unsurprisingly, gets little worship except from an order of religious assassins.

** [[Raised

Line 97 ⟶ 99:
* [[Seers]] : Jewel [[A Terafin]] and Evayne a'Nolan
* [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]]: Subverted and played straight with Diora. Because she is the Flower of the Dominion, the son of the Tyr'agar, ruler of the Dominion, marries her. Because the Tyr'agar is weak, he and all his family are killed except Diora, who is protected by her father. Because she is the Flower of the Dominion, not just an ordinary Serra, she is able to use herself as a weapon against the usurping Tyr. Diora's beauty determines the course of her life.
* [[Spare to
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Diora
* [[Tournament Arc]]: The primary plot of ''The Uncrowned King'' is centered around this
