History Fanfic / TheWarderCycle

* FirstLawOfResurrection: [[spoiler: The Ward is wholly composed of revived deadbeasts.]]

* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: The Laagmeer shrews. A pity they can't really define which is their enemy - the Domans who try to subjugate them, or the Parmans who already do.

* SelfProclaimedKnight Oriel. {{Justified}} since he is actually a vermin foot soldier fighting for a lady on his master's behalf.

* FantasticRacism: Just like in the original books. Woodlanders do not think highly on [[AlwaysChaoticEvil vermin]].

* %% TomboyPrincess: Lorelei.

* The Tourney: Once [[spoiler: at the end of ARR]], the other in TBBU. These tournaments are special because the winner gets the StandardHeroReward.

* AdventureDuo: Matoya with Old Thordan, and then Old Thordan with Isagnrim.
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: Arbert and his team at Chillgrave.]]
* AltarDiplomacy: A staple in any medieval setting - too many to count, actually, though Erlend and Lorelei's marriage stands out.

* AnIcePerson: A staple for Thaumaturges - Hersent indulges in this style of offence.
* ApologeticAttacker: Dagbert

* AristocratTeam: The Ward. Aside from Isangrim, anyways.

* AttackHello: Lorelei does that to [[spoiler: Dagbert and Arbert]] twice.'

* BadassLongRobe: Isangrim. [[spoiler: As Emmeroloth, he has a BlackCloak instead.]]
* BigScrewedUpFamily: House Swalestrom. Two brothers not trying to kill each other is a rare occurrence. Even though [[spoiler: half the family is dead]] by The Blood Between Us, the family is still quite strained.
* BenevolentMageRuler: Old Thordan aspires to be one.
* BlackKnight: [[spoiler: Fandaniel.]]
* BunniesForCuteness: Clove.
* TheCaligula: Old Thordan is often painted as one, to his amusement.
* ChainedHeat: Brink and Keetch, until Lord Rathor breaks the chain between them.
* TheChampion: [[spoiler: Galen and Dirk for Bellamy.]] Oriel for Corinne.

* CoolCrown: Lots.
* CourtlyLove Corinne and Oriel/Asch.

* DecadentCourt: And how!
* {{Determinator}}: Brink. Old Thordan tries to be one, while Young Thordan doesn't even try.

* EvilDebtCollector: Skuli has the impression of being this.
* TheFettered: Young Thordan, Asch and Lord Keetch
* TheEvilPrince [[AxCrazy Egan Stalwart]].

* TheGentlemanOrTheScoundrel: Galen or Dirk for Bellamy. [[spoiler: She chooses Galen. Oddly enough, Alfyn fits both archetypes, but Bellamy rejects him at the first opportunity.]]

* HeirInLaw: Erlend is set up to become this by Old Thordan, though he rejects the opportunities.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Thordan and Egil.
* TheHighKing: Parma, obviously. It still tries to claim dominion over Triel and Southsward now and then, but it has already been stretched to its limits.
* TheHighQueen: Lorelei tries so, so hard, but sinks closer into [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the other type]] of queen.
