Everyone Is Gay is being merged into Cast Full Of Gay, but this is zero context anyway.


* EveryoneIsGay: Well, Ang, Silfia, and eventually [[spoiler: Ragna]].

* BenevolentMageRuler: Shraeven, a newly conquered province of the [[TheEmpire Godkindred Kingdom]] that still considers itself a country, has nobility who are chosen by the gods instead of by bloodline, indicated by markings on their body and wielding of ElementalMagic as [[ReligionIsMagic gods are the sole source of magic in this setting]]. Angharad, the new governor of Shraeven looks like she is being set up to make Shraeven independent and be their new queen as god after god marks her. [[spoiler: But after destroying the physical form of the Godkindred's GodEmperor she gives rulership of Shraeven to her "native guide" (and lover) Ragna, and becomes Priest-Sorcerer-Queen of the Godkindred instead.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GuiltFreeExterminationWar: There's not much argument to Angharad wiping out the Mountain Pards, or at least the males, the females they used as baby factories were spared. Ragna, who was born in one of those clans, even encourages Ang to kill them.

None

Added DiffLines:

* ChildByRape: In the first book Angharad is gang-raped by a tribe of near-feral mountain Pards. She later lays an egg in the second book. [[spoiler: Silfi is impregnated by Governor Chordwain, but she aborts it.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DomesticAbuse: Silfia's parents forced her into an ArrangedMarriage to a man who beat and terrorized her. [[spoiler: Until she snapped and murdered him.]] The experience permanently soured her opinion of men.


Added DiffLines:

* PhysicalGod: Averted by the gods of Shraeven, who actually need a mortal "vessel" to perform magic in the physical world. [[spoiler: The Godson became one, but during their final duel Ang realized divinity should not be contained in a mortal body and "helped" relieve him of his flesh.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* BreedingCult: The Godkindred state religion believes in interbreeding to become gods, while the Mountain Pards in contrast try to inbreed themselves to the level of beasts.


Added DiffLines:

* WeCanRuleTogether: In the second book the Godson offers to make Angharad his queen, not that way she has no bloodlines he's interested in, she turns him down.

* LegoGenetics: Actually a significant part of the worldbuilding. Since anyone can mate with any other species, the Godkindred try to mix as many as possible into their bloodlines to try and achieve godhead. Meanwhile the villainous Pard clans try the exact opposite, forcing their women to mate with beasts to create mongrel children closer to genetic purity.

* AngstWhatAngst: Angharad gets beaten nearly to death and [[spoiler: gang raped by mongrels]] and her only reaction is to get mildly irritated about a potential pregnancy screwing up her family bloodlines. Oh, and she utterly wipes out the mountain pards responsible for creating the mongrels.

[[spoiler: But after destroying the physical form of the Godkindred's GodEmperor she gives rulership of Shraeven to her "native guide" (and lover) Ragna, and becomes Priest-Sorcerer-Queen of the Godkindred instead.]]
* BiTheWay: Angharad admits to being attracted to men, even though she never has [[spoiler: consensual]] sex with any.
* ChivalrousPervert: Angharad herself has shades of this, lusting very strongly at points towards Ragna, but not following through because of the severe power imbalance and Ragna's horrible upbringing.
* CoolHorse: Honeydipped, Ang's mongrel mount with golden fetlocks and near human intelligence.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: The Godkindred's goal.
* DuelToTheDeath: Fully acceptable and with a strict code in the kingdom, with death as the penalty for violating the code. There are multiple examples in the work itself.
** Silfia's brother-in-law tracks her down to challenge her over the death of his brother. He then cheats during the duel and Angharad beheads him.
** Angharad challenges Shraeven's corrupt former governor Chordwain, but he forces Silfia to act as his [[CombatByChampion champion]]. [[spoiler: Silfi pretends to kill Angharad, then claims the ex-governor's life as her boon.]]
** And finally, [[spoiler: Angharad and the Godson fight a WizardDuel over Shraeven, which ends with her using the powers of Shraeven's gods to force him to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]
* EveryoneIsGay: Well, Ang, Silfia, and eventually [[spoiler: Ragna]].
* GodEmperor: [[spoiler: the Godson]]
* [[spoiler: GodInHumanForm: The ancestors of every sapient creature on the planet turn out to have been gods who voluntarily resumed mortal existence, and it's implied that before blending with animals they were actual humans.]]
* HeinzHybrid: Most of the Godkindred, and several Shraevenese other than the Pards as well. Angharad has at least ten species in her bloodlines: coatl, crane, fisher, hawk, lion, phoenix, puma, ringtail cat, Siamese cat, and snake.
* KillEmAll: Ang's plan for dealing with the pard clans after [[spoiler: her rape.]] Her troops are only more than glad to oblige once words gets out what happened to her.

* OldFlame: Silfia comes back into Ang's life after eighteen years and is quite eager to restart their relationship, though Ang is a bit slower to warm to the idea.
* OhCrap: After neatly ambushing the gathered pard clans, Ragna tries desperately to get Ang's attention just as she comes to the realization that [[spoiler: they didn't get the mongrels.]]
* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler: Ang and Silfia]]. ''Avoiding'' this trope is one of the reasons Ragna joins up with Ang's troops.
* SuperBreedingProgram: The Godkindred Kingdom believe that by breeding many different species together they can become gods. Social status is determined by the number of species in one's geneology.
