Line 17:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Humans and Yilanè are not on speaking terms.
* [[Fictionary]]
* [[Guilt -Free Extermination War]]: Explored. The majority of Yilanè just see massacring ustuzou (humans) as pest control, and most humans return the favor. Vaintè at first considers useful ustuzou like Kerrick to be worth keeping around as tools (and later becomes psychotically obsessed with their destruction), but the Daughters of Life recognize ustuzou as sapient beings worthy of life and respect. Kerrick (after rejoining the humans) rejects the position that Yilanè are [[Always Chaotic Evil]], and draws a demarcation between Yilanè who are killing humans and Yilanè who humanity can coexist with.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: For, erm, [[Rape As Drama|a loose definition]] of "romance."
* [[Lady Land]]: The Yilanè -- females control politics, science, and the military; males are artisans, poets and brood mares.
Line 25:
* [[Living Weapon]]: ...specifically a genetically modified lizard that shoots poisoned darts.
* [[Mister Seahorse]]: Yilanè reproduce in a similar manner to, you guessed it, seahorses.
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: Hardwired into Yilanè biology. If a Yilanè is exiled from its city, its body shuts down. {{spoiler|Some of them, however, are loyal to something other than their city, and their shutdown reflex will occur in response to different stimuli. The Yilanè are not quite sure how to cope with this.}}
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: Enge, and the other Daughters Of Life.
* [[Organic Technology]]: ''Everything'' used in Yilanè society is a product of genetic engineering. Even the ancient Yilanè began by hunting using ''living crabs'' instead of stone tools, though one Yilanè scientist suggests that early on, the Yilanè did indeed use "artefacts."
