Line 15:
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: Averted. Christianity, Judaism and Islam, introduced into Aiers by mankind, are shown to have endured the end of the "Sky-Age" and evolve into myriad but still largely recognisable forms over the millennia.
* [[Earth-That-Was]]: It's speculated in-universe that the terraforming devices being programmed to mimic familiar landmasses {{spoiler|like the one that triggered the "Cataclysm"}} may have been an attempt to recreate humanity's original homeworld, implying that Earth itself may have been lost.
* [[End of an Age]]: The arrival of humanity
* [[Fantastic Catholicism]]: Over the course of generations, Christianity on Aiers becomes dominated by three main branches. Karentian Christianity, in particular, is explicitly described as the result of unifying the "Sky-Age" Catholic and Protestant denominations, while the Unlic Orthodox are a direct descendant of the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The various human cultures and nations are reminiscent of their Earth counterparts, even down to language. Justified in that they're derived from both corrupted memories of Earth history and recovered knowledge from the "Sky-Age."
** The Dumian language, for instance is heavily implied to be Latin. Not only is Dume in particular a mix of Rome and Alexandria, but its history even mirrors the Roman Empire, going so far as to have a Byzantine parallel that outlasts it Dumian counterpart.
