- Due to 'Aegon's Conquest' not happening in this story, House Baratheon is House Durrandon, and House Tyrell is House Gardener.
- Cain and Abel: Jonarys and Aegon. Their relationship was good when they where younger, but when Aegon's mother, Elia, died, their relationship soured. Their relationship is so bad that Aegon was "red with rage" when their father, Rhaegar, decided against executing Jonarys for his treason.
- Canon Foreigner: Ryon Snow: the bastard son of Brandon Stark, and Ashara Dayne.
- Cool Sword: Jonarys has the Targaryen ancestral blade, Blackfyre, in his possession.
- Dragon Rider: Members of Houses Targaryen, Blackfyre, and Velaryon are this.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Unlike other princes, who usually take up a comfortable governor's position, Jonarys instead decided to join the Dark Legion. He was with them for 7 years, and was their leader for 3 years.
- Succession Crisis: There is currently infighting going on at the Vale between Jon Arryn's two heirs to decide who will be king once he dies.
- The Exile: Jonarys, Daenerys, and their companions all get exiled to Westeros for going against High King Rhaegar's orders.
- The High King: Rhaegar Targaryen holds this title.
- True Companions: Jonarys Targaryen; Daemon Blackfyre, and his sister, Daemona; Aurane Velaryon, and his siblings, Daeron and Lena; and Thoros of Myr. All went to Jonarys and Daenerys' secret wedding, despite it being against the High King's wishes, and all accepted the punishment of being banished to Westeros alongside Jonarys and Daenerys.
