**Since the Raveners are made from dead people, mindless other than driven to hunt, and eat flesh rather than drink blood, they're either OurZombiesAreDifferent or Our Zombies Are Basically The Same.

** [[KnightInShiningArmour Mandorallen]], [[ArcherArchetype Lell]][[ImprobableAimingSkills dorin]], [[BladeEnthusiast Silk]], [[ActionGirl Liselle]], [[PoisonedWeapons Sadi]] and [[TheBlacksmith Durnik]] [[spoiler:pre-resurrection]] are among the few characters who aren't using magic, turning into bears, talking to horses, or at least making use of magically enhanced weaponry.

* AWizardDidIt: Attempted as an in-universe explanation in The Malloreon: a sailor has a leg that is painfully sensitive to changes in the weather to the point where he's employed as a storm-predictor. When he fails to predict a squall and his employers complains, he ''literally'' suggests that a wizard might've conjured the storm. His boss thinks it's a lame excuse. [[spoiler: It's implied that actually something much more powerful than a wizard that's conjured the storm.]]

* RulingCouple: Belgarion and Ce'Nedra of Riva, and Korodullin and Mayaserana of Arendia.

to:

* RulingCouple: Belgarion and Ce'Nedra RoyalBastard: {{Defied|Trope}} by Polgara in her prequel novel when she spends a millennium guarding the secret bloodline of Riva, and the Rivan kings. The RoyalBlood passes [[SingleLineOfDescent to the firstborn son]], "with or without benefit of clergy", so she takes care to get the heirs happily married before the family tree can grow in unexpected directions.
* RulingCouple:
** Garion {{Invoke|dTrope}}s this when he proposes to Ce'Nedra, asking her to share the Rivan throne as his equal in all matters. Some traditionalists are outraged, but the respectful gesture lays the foundation for their [[HappilyMarried happy marriage]].
** The co-rulers King
Korodullin and Queen Mayaserana of Arendia.Arendia are also, by tradition, the Duke of Mimbre and Duchess of Asturia, the nation's two constituent duchies.
** King Rhodar and Queen Porenn of Drasnia divide the royal duties between them: one manages foreign policy while the other handles internal affairs.



* RunningGag: Garion asking [[spoiler:'Zakath]] if he's sure he's not part Arendish, whenever the latter is behaving too enthusiastically regarding the prospect of extreme danger in ''The Malloreon''.

Added Only Useful As Toilet Paper example from its page

Added DiffLines:

* OnlyUsefulAsToiletPaper: As part of her Obfuscating Stupidity act, Queen Layla subtly [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this trope when she uses a draft treaty to wipe jam off the face of her youngest child. (The ambassador gets the message, but can't call her out on it.)

Added DiffLines:

* DividedDeity: Two opposed {{Sentient Cosmic Force}}s of Prophecy exist AboveTheGods and drive the main conflict. They were created when an ancient cataclysm divided the consciousness of the Universe itself, and each is competing to defeat the other and become the Universe's guiding force.
