* ByTheBookCop: Ironically, this trope is what does her in at the end. [[spoiler: After Brolina returned to Kamasylvia, she eventually invoked certain protocols which empty Kamasylvia of many of her loyal supporters. This allowed Brolina to finally stage a coup and end Amelia's life.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her rule was awful for Kamasylvia to say the very least. A good chunk of the purpose of the Kamasylvia main questlines are to mend relations with the various forest spirits that used to be allied with the Kamasylvian elves before her rule.

!Non-Player Characters

[[folder: Recurring Characters]]
!!The Black Spirit
* TheCorrupter: Is constantly tempting the player with greater power, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration in the form of quest rewards]], [[EquipmentUpgrade enchanting your equipment]], and... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking handing you inventory expansions]].
* EvilMentor: Most of its quests involve urging you to exterminate monsters with increasing brutality and thoroughness in exchange for rewards. Many of the rest involve having you lead it to sources of ancient power that it can consume.
* ExpositionFairy
** StopHelpingMe:
It's usually fairly quiet when you're not following the class name.main quest, but try and take on enemies above your level and it'll yell at you to run away no matter how well you're doing.
* ObviouslyEvil: Nah, what? Shh.
** DarkIsEvil
** GigglingVillian
** RedEyesTakeWarning
* StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: Technically there's nothing ``preventing`` the player from just ignoring its quests and doing their own thing, but traveling around helping the Black Spirit awaken long-hidden sources of dark power is the only way to advance the main plot.
** On the part of NPCs, everyone with some mystical awareness seems to notice that there's something sinisterly wrong with the player character, but no one seems interested in doing anything about it.

!!Edan
* ActualPacifist: As a ShadowArchetype to the player, he can frequently be seen trying to talk enemies down instead of killing them... often immediately after the player has [[BloodKnight cut through dozens and dozens of them]] on the way there at the Black Spirit's urging.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's clearly going on a lot of adventures in parallel to the player, who tends to keep arriving LateToTheParty.

!! Princess Jarette Domongatt
* FieryRedhead
* SpoiledBrat: She'd really prefer to be back home, rather than out in the mud wrangling imps.
