History Webcomic / DraconiaChronicles

* AmplifierArtifact: [[https://www.draconiachronicles.com/comic/comic-58/ One dragon has a gauntlet that enhances her magic.]] [[spoiler: She attempts to use it during a thunderstorm, misses, and drops a mountainside on her head]]

* BawdySong: Strip 359. It's apparently the local version of "Roll Me Over In The Clover."

** [[spoiler: One strip shows her preparing to [[DrivenToSuicide hang herself]]]]

* CallBack: A guest strip shows Oscura playing with one of Luminia's dolls and telling her that it'll turn up later. In a later strip, Luminia mentions she *still* can't find her doll.

* CerebusSyndrome: Started has a fairly lighthearted HighFantasy adventure comic, but ever since the end of chapter 1, its become progressively more [[DarkFantasy dark, bleak and tragic.]]

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted. During Ch2 the volcano near the Dragons capital city erupts. The Dragons city is threatened by superheated rocks falling on it and a massive river of lava. Meanwhile the wind currents of the world blow most of the ash and toxic fumes into the Tiger Territories. Fire Dragons, despite knowing elemental magic, are shown being effected by the heat, while not as much as the Earth Dragons.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Both the Dragon Kingdom and the Tiger Territories, to an extent. The Kingdom gives off a CrystalSpiresAndTogas vibe, but the Queen is of questionable morals and sanity and banished her entire Royal Guard (the Lightning Dragons) and her top adviser (Sombrana) [[NoodleIncident seemingly]] on a whim. [[UrbanSegregation Each Dragon caste is strictly racially segregated]], with the Light Dragons on top, and the Earth Dragons on the very bottom. And then [[spoiler:a volcano erupts right in the middle of the Kingdom's capitol, killing ''thousands'', and the Queen and her new royal guard are desperately struggling to cover up the worst of the damage]]. As for the Territories, the inexperience and general naivete of Princess Kiriad has lead to infighting amongst several tribes, and [[spoiler:the ash from the aforementioned volcano eruption has destroyed a lot of the Tigers' farmland as well as killing a large percentage of their children and breeding stock.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Gaia]] is [[spoiler: decapitated, despite surrendering, and already having been tortured along the way]]

* [[DeadGuyOnDisplay Dead Girl On Display]]: Tiger camps have dragon skulls on poles, and their horns as ornamentation. Dragons, in turn, have tiger pelts on their walls, and taxidermy specimens in tubes. The dragon queen's throne also appears to have a number of human-looking skulls on it. (Though could be just tiger skulls having been shaped)

* EmotionSupression: The dragons have a maxim to "Never let your emotions dictate your actions." They don't seem to follow this very closely, with a lot of conflict being because someone (ex. Sombrana, Gaia, Xihanil, Oscura) did their thinking with their heart rather than their brains. The Preistesses take this even further, being outright [[Emotionless Girl]]s as a side-effect of communing with their gods. Meta is so used to this that having her emotions returned drives her to the brink of insanity. That said, when Oscura is able to reign it in, she's able to [[spoiler: talk to Kilani face-to-face without immediately killing her.]]

* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: See BizzarreSexualDimorphism. Especially egregious with the dragons, since they should have a similar body structure to birds, with hugely muscled chests and wee teensy legs. They look more like succubui, [[HornedHumanoid horned]] and [[WingedHumanoid winged]] humanoids who go around with nary a stitch of clothing.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Oscura has Khilani put up in a penthouse intended for royal visitors, and even had the tiger pelts usually on display put in storage. She has the cooks prepare a large quantity of rare steaks for her LastMeal as well.
* MacGuffin: Two: For the tigers, a powerful [[AntiMagic Zhirite]] artifact called the "Zhirite Claw", for the dragons, a device cryptically referred to as the "Obsidian Egg."

* MeaningfulName: While her adoptive mother, Kilani gave Princess Lumina the name "Chuki," which is translated into English as "A gift from my enemy," in the sense of a peace offering as opposed to a White Elephant. Ennek derides it as "A name you choose when you're out of ideas."

* PrivilegedRival: Subverted (FantasticCasteSystem / SJWspeak nonsense nonwithstanding). Eone thinks that fire dragons are extremely priveliged, and this is part of what leads to her grinding gears with Red. Red reveals that up until quite recently, it was legal to have fire dragons thrown out of any establishment for any reason (including none) on grounds of "public safety."

** [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty After reaching adulthood at 18,]] Dragons age four times slower, therefore making the oldest dragons to be well over one hundred human years old.

* AmplifierArtifact: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-58/ One dragon has a gauntlet that enhances her magic.]] [[spoiler: She attempts to use it during a thunderstorm, misses, and drops a mountainside on her head]]

* AreWeGettingThis: In a Valentines Day extra (filler) page, the AnimatedActors switch gears and do something [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/2444/ "Valentines-ey"]].

** Ennek [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-334/ when finally pushed too far]].

** [[spoiler: Raz's Pack]]

* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[SinisterScythe Scythes]] are a favorite among tigers. In an [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-51/ early strip]] this backfires, one character gets eviscerated with her own ''jatalang''[[note]] Imagine two scythes stuck together in an "S" pattern[[/note]].
* ImprovisedWeapon: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-78/ a lute is used as a club]] at one point.

* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/2012-draconia-chronicles-annual-jazzfox-chaoscroc/ A guest story arc]] has a dragon rip her own wings off to escape a tiger encampment. She's understandably upset with Sombrana-whom she loved-for leaving her to die. [[note]] Nothing of the sort has happened in canon.

* PeopleJars: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-96/ The dragon city control room has a tiger male and female in a pair of jars]].

* SexyDimorphism: While the Dragons and Tigers females that are most prominently featured are anthropomorphic and look like curvy women, the males of their respective races are actual full feral formed [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-33/ Dragons]] and [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-102/ Tigers]].

** Briella has [[Literature/AlexanderAndTheTerribleHorribleNoGoodVeryBadDay a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad... nightmare]] [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-278/ here]].

* WomanScorned: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-313/ The reason for Ennek's sexual hang-ups.]]

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-276/ Shie]], [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-286/ Ennek]] and [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-320/ Riah]].
* YourFavorite: [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-262/ Shie brings Riah a lamprey, cooked burnt-outside-raw-inside in an attempt to coax some words out of her.]]

** Ennek [[http://draconia.katbox.net/comic/comic-334/ when finally pushed too far]]

* EmotionSupression: The dragons have a maxim to "Never let your emotions dictate your actions." They don't seem to follow this very closely, with a lot of conflict being because someone (ex. Sombrana, Gaia, Xihanil, Oscura) did their thinking with their heart rather than their brains. The Preistesses take this even further, being outright [[Emotionless Girl]]s as a side-effect of communing with their gods. Meta is so used to this that having her emotions returned drives her to the brink of insanity. That said, when Oscura is able to reighn it in, she's able to [[spoiler: talk to Kilani face-to-face without immediately killing her.]]

--> "Its almost like they think they're ''people''!"

* ForeverWar: The two races have been fighting each other for centuries-long enough to have ''cave paintings of it''-and no longer remember the cause of the war. At this point the main reasons for fighting are vengeance and pride.

* AnAxeToGrind: Next to scythes, battle axes are the most commonly-seen weapon.

* MyLittlePhony: ''My Little Dracony: Togetherness is Magical'', a non-canon ([[BroadStrokes or hinted at in-canon]]) series, which is immensely popular despite being intended for dragonlings; so much so that it's implied that even P.O.W.'s are allowed to watch it. (although it's stated to be [[PropagandaMachine anti-tiger propaganda]] rather than a [[MerchandiseDriven 30-minute toy commercial]])-[[UpToEleven and they like it too!]]

* OddShapedPanel: Taken UpToEleven. It may be easier to list the pages that ''don't'' have this...

* BawdySong: Strip 359. It's apparently the local version of "Roll Me Over In The Clover".

* BlindingBangs: Ekeni
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: Zurina's death.]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: [[spoiler: Gaia's head is thrown at another dragon]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Kiriad's is vibrantly purple.
** Inyx' is fluorescent green.

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene:
** [[spoiler: Gaia's death (summary execution of a POW)]].
** {{Invoked}}: Kess is ''pissed'' that her sister didn't [[spoiler: murder Princess Lumina as a hatchling.]]

* FeministFantasy: Leave out how all the female characters are A) kids or B) MissFanservice, either nudists or prone to casual nudity. They're all Strong Independant Women(TM) in control of their sexualities and {{Action Girl}}s when they aren't PerfectPacifistPeople.

* MismatchedEyes: Briella's left eye is blue, while her right eye is orange.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Gaia again]].
