Line #34 DarthWiki/ProjectKrieg


1	A series of under-construction fantasy novels by [[{{Kriegsmesser}} Sam U. Mansed]] with over-arching themes of EarnYourHappyEnding, LightIsNotGood (and DarkIsNotEvil), and rather {{Anvilicious}}ly, WarIsHell. "Project Krieg" is a placeholder title until I come up with a better one.
2
3	As of moment, there is currently a [[RuleOfThree trilogy planned]], though [[TrilogyCreep that probably won't stick.]]
4	* ''Conquest''
5	* ''To War With A Shadow''
6	* ''[Title]''
7
8	'''Note:''' As this is the page where the author's going to be doing most of his brainstorming, things are subject to change without notice.
9	----
10	!!This series will provide examples of:
11	%%* ActionGirl [name]
12	* AMillionIsAStatistic Soldiers have been dying in great numbers for so long, it's become a fact of life.
13	* AWizardDidIt Magic can create {{Mithril}}, Elves proficient in its uses are resistant to disease, live longer lives, can shoot lightning from their fingertips, and create smoke or fire with alchemy.
14	%%* ChronicHeroSyndrome Comet.
15	%%* ClarkesThirdLaw
16	%%* ConfrontingYourImposter: [[spoiler:Comet]]. ([[MistakenForAnImposter It doesn't work.]]
17	* {{Deconstruction}} Of fantasy tropes and war.
18	%%* {{Demonization}} [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed.]] See FantasticRacism, below, for details.
19	* DuringTheWar Centric to the plot of ''Conquest'', the War has gone on for so long that the economies of the warring nations have become centered around it.
20	%%* EarnYourHappyEnding One of the main themes.
21	%%* ElCidPloy After [[spoiler: Comet disappears]] between ''Conquest'' and ''Shadow'', several people attempt this.
22	%%* FacelessGoons Both sides have these.
23	* FantasticRacism Peace talks have been largely fruitless in part because both sides have been [[{{Demonization}} demonizing each other]] since before the people in charge were even born.
24	%%* GoodIsNotNice [[spoiler:Comet]], eventually.
25	* GreyAndGrayMorality There is no "right" side of the war.
26	%%* HumansAreBastards Some, anyways.
27	* IHaveManyNames The War. The Endless War. The War Of Generations. The Righteous Battle. Etc.
28	%%* KnightInSourArmor [[spoiler:Comet, eventually.]]
29	* LineOfSightName Oma, after being called a ''O''ne ''M''an ''A''rmy.
30	* TheMasquerade Magic is [[spoiler:Industrial Revolution-era technology]].
31	* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead Inverted. A white-washed version of a person's life implies that the individual's real story is not worth telling.
32	* NiceJobBreakingItHero In a "no-win situation" sort of way. [[spoiler:Because the war ended so suddenly after ''several generations'' of going on, both countries' economies are thrown into panic, and the [[StrangerInAFamiliarLand returning soldiers]] have no place.]]
33	%%* OneManArmy [[FunWithAcronyms Oma]]. This is how [[spoiler:Comet picked the moniker.]]
34	* OurElvesAreDifferent Our elves are a race of fair-skinned, long-lived, hidden people with {{Mithril}} and Magic.
35	%%* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity [Name] for Comet. [[spoiler: She gets the opportunity to return the favor in ''Shadow''.]]
36	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism Comet starts the story so far on the idealistic end, he could be used as a counterweight. [[spoiler: The events of ''Conquest'', and subsequent TimeSkip, ''catapult'' him over to the other side, before he finally settles somewhere in the middle.]]
37	* SoWhatDoWeDoNow [[spoiler:Most of the soldiers of the war have no idea what to do with themselves once it ends. Many of them default to banditry, leaving Comet to try to fix what he broke.]]
38	%%* TimeSkip Between ''Conquest'' and ''Shadow''.
39	* TheUntwist [[spoiler:Magic is '''''TECHNOLOGY'''''!]]
40	%%* WalkingTheEarth [[spoiler:Comet, ''in cognito'' as Oma]], post-TimeSkip.
41	%%* WarIsHell Another main theme.
42	* WhatMeasureIsAMook The death of soldiers is considered non-disturbing.
