* BuryYourGays:
** Surprisingly this is averted depending on where you are in the world. In Elyne they're fairly tolerant of it, in Kyralia anyone accused of it can be dishonored but is not formally punished, and in Sachaka, they just ignore it and pretend it doesn't happen. Played straight in Lonmar, where homosexuals are executed.
** Also averted in that, in a series where [[spoiler: AnyoneCanDie, four of five named gay characters are alive by the end of the series. Tayend and Dannyl manage to survive being present for both the Ichani Invasion and the Sachakan Civil War]].

* ColorCodedCastes / ColorCodedWizardry: There's colour coding for the three different disciplines of magic (Warriors wear red robes, Alchemists wear purple robes, and Healers wear green robes) as well as for rank (the heads of each discipline wears a black sash, the King's Advisors wear gold sashes, the Administrators wear blue robes, and the High Lord wears black robes.) [[spoiler: The High Lord wears white robes after the Trilogy's end, and black robes are reserved for the Black Magician.]] Novices wear shorter brown robes and by the second book of the ''Traitor Spy'' trilogy [[spoiler:Lilia wears brown robes with a black armband in her role as the "black novice".]]

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Homosexuality is strongly stigmatized in Kyralia to the point that it can jeopardize someone's career. In Lonmar, however, it's a capital crime, which even Kyralians are shaken by.
* HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when Cery the StreetUrchin hears noble teenagers bragging about their alleged sexual prowess. He's amused because most slum kids their age have ''actually'' done the things the nobles are claiming to have done and don't see it as some sort of prize to shout from the rooftops.

* ImprobableAge: an in-context version, as everyone is constantly struck by how young Akkarin is despite him being the High Lord. At the time of ''The Magician's Guild'' he's around 30 years old (possibly late twenties), and he still has men and women ''decades'' older than him being deferential to him. Despite the fact that it's more his incredibly sharp political acumen, diplomatic insight and intellect than just his great magical prowess that got him the title, it doesn't stop even Lorlen, his best friend, from wondering how he managed it at such a young age. Akkarin seems to be aware of this, because he grows his hair out long and wears it in a ponytail in the style of the old magicians to try to lessen the impact.
