** Uther's conquest of Camelot and why he did so (weak infrastructure, neglected land reform and Camelot's standing). The responses of the nobility of Westeros on attending his coronation are also included. Which has the appearance of a young fourteen year old Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
* AffablyEvil: Uther in the prison cell with Mary Collins in Chapter 7. He presents himself with sympathy and some restraint, yet he is kicking Mary all around the place and sentenced her to reside in a wretched prison before a painful death by burning.

He even notes how she will scream as she die, they all do. Emphasising how many times Uther has sentenced witches to burn to death in Camelot.
*AllForNothing: Thomas Collins attempting to save his mother from sickness amounts to this. Not only is he prosecuted for magic and burned to death, but his mother also suffers from this fate after attempting to kill Arthur to spite Uthur. Which amounts his efforts completely pointless.



* AwesomeByAnalysis: Lyarra, while is not a fighter due to Westerossi's customs that, even as a bastard girl, she is not able to overcome by having regular sword lessons. Unlike her canon counterpart Jon. But she does have some experience with the sword but has an even greater eye for attention and detail to combat. She directs Grenn to parry his opponent's moves accurately, much like her brother Robb, a military genius. She even encourages this trait to Arya when she gives her sword Needle.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Lyarra appears to believe this as does her father Eddard Stark who holds the opinion the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. It is one's duty to consider whether a punishment such as death is worth the crime. And discusses how much Uther really had to gain or lose from killing Thomas Collins especially as Lyarra learnt for saving his mother.

** Similarly to the points mentioned above Lyarra and Arya.

However the woman did attempt to murder [[PapaWolf his son]] and murdered a highborn lady of another country in a violent manner of which the King would want justice for.
* BullyHunter: Lyarra does not take to people abusing their positions well. She stands up for Samwell when she is briefly at Castle Black and to Arthur unknown that he is the Prince of Camelot.
* BurnTheWitch: What Camelot does with its witches. It even accounts for the minor adaptional death with Thomas Collins who in the show was decapitated but in the fic was burned to death. It's also the fate of Mary Collins who was told this personally by Uther.
* ChildhoodFriends: Robb and Lyarra it is noted on several occasions and who are known to be quite close. Even after they drifted slightly apart once they turned seven and Robb was in training to become a Lord, they were still quite close friends.

* CryForTheDevil: Despite hearing about what happened to the Great Dragon. Lyarra notes that while Killagarah gains nothing from her sympathy, he has it regardless [[AndIMustScream as he is alone and damned to spend eternity in a cave.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Much like Merlin. Lyarra was born with incredible magical abilities. There are hints that it's partly due to her Targaryen heritage (her eyes glow lilac when she uses magic) and other possible destinies beyond Arthur (such as the Prince that was Promised/Azor Ahai or Merlin canon immortality). Unfortunately, knowledge of the Higher Mysteries (Magic) in Westeros is incredibly limited and the subject is thought to not even exist among Maestars. And upon entering Camelot and being confronted with magic, she sees the first magical practitioner burn for his supposed crime.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Downplayed but Lyarra can be quite clumsy outside when it comes to dancing and buckles when trying to waltz.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Uther on account of taking Camelot by conquest has the tendency to do this and has passed this down his son Arthur. Possibly on account of how recent their reign is and Uther overthrew the past king on his mishandling and general management of the lands themselves in contrast to Robert's Rebellion which was mainly over Aerys' madness, the kidnapping of Lyanna and the deaths of Brandon and Rickard Stark and Aerys calling for the deaths of Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon.

Rather matter-of-factly, describing the process of burning in exquisite detail and seems to relish in it.

Considering her wisdom just at the start she has the potential to become TheConsigliere to Arthur in the future.

But while Arthur is portrayed at first in mostly a negative light and is presented as a brute by Tryion and thought to be a bully by Lyarra, Arthur has the potential to be better and become TheGoodKing. On the other hand, Joffrey who will become King quite young has his cruelty become the defining characteristic of his reigns and actively takes it out on his servants and others around him. Their relationships are also quite different while Lyarra thinks of Arthur initially as a bully, he is still her OneTrueLove. In contrast with Joffrey who Sansa initially falls for is her FalseSoulmate.

Sensing danger for his family after the death of the Hand of the King Jon Arryn, Ned Stark on Maester Luwin's advice send her far away from Westeros to Luwin's brother a court physician called Gauis.

Sensing danger for his family after the death of the Hand of the King Jon Arryn, Ned Stark on Maester Luwin's advice send her far away from Westeros to Luwin's brother a court physician called Gauis. But alas things are never that simple.



*AwesomeByAnalysis: Lyarra, while is not a fighter due to Westerossi's customs that, even as a bastard girl, she is not able to overcome by having regular sword lessons. Unlike her canon counterpart Jon. But she does have some experience with the sword but has an even greater eye for attention and detail to combat. She directs Grenn to parry his opponent's moves accurately, much like her brother Robb, a military genius.
*BirdsOfAFeather: Much like Jon did in canon, Lyarra and Tyrion strike a bond together, one over her bastardy and his over his dwarfism. They even acknowledge gender roles and Lyarra notes Tyrion was lucky to be born a male lest [[AbusiveParents Tywin]] would actually go through with his threats.
*BurnTheWitch: What Camelot does with its witches. It even accounts for the minor adaptional death with Thomas Collins who in the show was decapitated but in the fic was burned to death. It's also the fate of Mary Collins who was told this personally by Uther.



* CrapsackWorld: It's Game of Thrones. What do you expect? But Merlin is also this too and wasn't shy with the numerous deaths, famines or plagues in the show either and while wasn't as explicit as GOT with certain details. It is still seamlessly integrated with the narrative almost alarmingly well.
* CursedWithAwesome: Much like Merlin. Lyarra was born with incredible magical abilities. There are even hints that it's partly due to her Targaryen heritage (her eyes glow lilac when she uses magic) and other possible destinies beyond Arthur. Unfortunately, knowledge of the Higher Mysteries (Magic) in Westeros is incredibly limited and the subject is thought to not even exist among Maestars. And upon entering Camelot and being confronted with magic, she sees the first magical practitioner burn for his supposed crime.

And upon entering Camelot and being confronted with magic, she sees the first magical practitioner burn for his supposed crime.
*CuteClumsyGirl: Downplayed but Lyarra can be quite clumsy outside when it comes to dancing and buckles when trying to waltz.
*DeadlyDecadentCourt: Tyrion warns Lyarra that while Camelot is not like King's Landing which is its own kettle of fish. Camelot is not without its own skeletons either and even gives her some advice on being aware of such matters.



* DramaticIrony: With Morgana Lefey and Lyarra Snow. The narration when they met notes a bastard and a princess with them. However, with the hints that Lyarra is the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Morgana is the bastard daughter of Uther Pendragon in Merlin's canon.

* DramaticIrony: With DramaticIrony:
**With
Morgana Lefey and Lyarra Snow. The narration when they met notes a bastard and a princess with them. However, with the hints that Lyarra is the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Morgana is the bastard daughter of Uther Pendragon in Merlin's canon. Their roles are also completely different, however. Morgana is treated like a princess and is given clothing Cersei would've dreamed of having but would've been impractical in Winterfell. While Lyarra is treated well is still the baseborn daughter of a Lord.



* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Discussed. Dragons in Merlin and A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones are different, with notably Kilgharrah being rather mystical and full of wisdom, while dragons in Game of Thrones have no such sentience. While they are clever they can't speak. WordOfGod and Lyarra mention how the Targaryen dragons and Ulthos dragons are different breeds of dragons. Kilgharrah is also very old compared to his brethren and was most stronger as a result.

to:

*FromBadToWorse: The situation with the Starks. While canon events aren't set in stone there is no doubt from the implications from WordOfGod that things will go this way for them.
*InTheBlood: It's implied Lyarra's talent for the flute and especially the harp are this. While Winterfell are happy with Lyarra's abilities with the harp. Ned's expression on the other hand haunts Lyarra as while explicitly stated is implied he sees Rhaegar in her. Lyarra's Magical Abilities are also implied to have some connection with her Valyrian heritage.
*KillItWithFire: The fate of all those caught for using sorcery in Camelot. Lyarra is deathly afraid of fire because of how witches were and still are killed, which has the potential for DramaticIrony considering the implications that Lyarra is a Targaryen a house who is associated with fire.
*LikeADaughterToMe: Gauis with Lyarra. And considering who Lyarra is heavily implied if not outright confirmed to be. It's also Ned Stark with Lyarra.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Discussed. Dragons in Merlin and A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones are different, with notably Kilgharrah being rather mystical and full of wisdom, while dragons in Game of Thrones have no such sentience. While they are clever they can't speak. WordOfGod and Lyarra mention how the Targaryen dragons and Ulthos dragons are different breeds of dragons. Kilgharrah is also very old compared to his brethren and was most stronger as a result. result.
*RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Uther on account of taking Camelot by conquest has the tendency to do this and has passed this down his son Arthur. Possibly on account of how recent their reign is and Uther overthrew the past king on his mishandling and general management of the lands themselves in contrast to Robert's Rebellion which was mainly over Aerys' madness, the kidnapping of Lyanna and the deaths of Brandon and Rickard Stark and Aerys calling for the deaths of Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon. Unlike Robert, who never really wanted the crown. Uther appears to be more driven to improve the realm despite his brutal methods. He takes a personal approach and even confronts Mary Collins personally in prison to gauge her motive and announces her fate to her.
*SmallRoleBigImpact: Maestar Luwin. His involvement in the story is minimal and presumably will continue to be so. But his relation to Gauis (they're brothers) allows Ned to consider a place to foster Lyarra while he is off at King's Landing which sets of the events of the story in Camelot.
*TemptingFate: Just before the banquet that will make her Arthur's maidservant after she saves his life from Mary Collins. Lyarra wonders what can possibly go wrong.
*TheGhost: Lyanna Stark is certainly this. Considering Lyarra's resemblance to her. Jamie Lannister approaches her and warns her of the dangers of letting HistoryRepeats. WordOfGod notes that while Jamie probably never spoke to Lyanna. Jamie sees her as the representation of the war since her kidnapping started it and urges caution for Lyarra.



* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Lyarra, on account of being a bastard, is very much aware of her fragile situation at Winterfell and accurately reads people and their actions. Some a bit like canon with Cersei and Joffrey hidden cruelty and disdain but also potential with Sansa to flourish in King's Landing. And Uther's hatred towards magic as something more.
