%%* AsskickingEqualsAuthority%%Quotes aren't context.

* OedipusComplex: He definitely believes in this. He [[{{Patricide}} killed his own father]] to become King of the Wood, and now [[OffingTheOffspring kills his own children]] to prevent them doing the same to him.
-->'''the Gnasher''': No one becomes a man until he has put his father into the ground or, in my case, into the stew pot.

[[/folder]]

* NobleSavage: The Wolvers of Grimly Holt are this. Their cousins… not so much.
-->'''Torisen''': Grimly's people live according to their own system of ethics, and on the whole are less prone to violence than the average human.
* NobleWolf: In contrast to the SavageWolves of the Deep Weald

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority
-->'''Grimly''': We of the Holt pick our leaders for their singing. Our wild cousins trust only strength.

* DeadlyDecadentCourt: Their courts are called the Poison Courts for a ''reason''.

** InvisibilityCloak: The beginners wear them. But the but the Bashtiri Shadow Guild is '''hard-core''', so when they leval up, they tattoo themselves with invisible ink so they're invisible naked too.

* OedipusComplex: He definitely believes in this. He killed his own father to become King of the Wood, and now kills his own children to prevent them doing the same to him.

-->'''"Odalian"''': ''[shyly]'' Well, my lord, I was rather thinking of subject ally status for my country.\\

This is listing of things relating to the Central Lands in the series ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath''.

* EvilCounterpart

* NobleWolf

* SavageWolves

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority

** FakeKing, given his title

* VoluntaryVassal: When Tirandys is impersonating Odalian, he claims to want to make Karkinor this to the Kencyrath.
-->'''"Odalian"''': ''[shyly]'' Well, my lord, I was rather thinking of subject ally status for my country.

* NobleWolf

-->'''Holly''': You know, these wolves aren't anything like what I expected. All those horror stories must be pretty exaggerated, huh?\\
'''Torisen''': […] Grimly's people live according to their own system of ethics, and on the whole are less prone to violence than the average human.

* NonHumanSidekick: To Torisen. She's a Wolver, so she's sort of human, but in the first few books of sidekicking, she is still too young to take human form, and thus fills this trope fairly closely.

-->'''Grimly''': [D]id you see those hands? She’s starting to change. With adolescence she’ll be able to shift more and more into human form. Given her attraction to you, Tori, I’d watch out.

-->'''Torisen''': We thought at first that she'd been left behind by accident, but now I think that she decided, ancestors know why, to stay. At any rate, no one can catch her and she follows me everywhere, just out of reach.

* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Gnasher

MagicMap: Mother Ragga has one.
** Marc is making a minor one

* PrecociousCrush: Grimly warns Torisen that she has one on him because Deep Weald wolvers are attracted to strength.

'''Torisen''': That depends. Grimly's people live according to their own system of ethics, and on the whole are less prone to violence than the average human. But the farther into the Weald you go, the wilder things get. The wolvers of the deep-wood Holts are as bad as you can imagine, if not a good deal worse.

!!!Deep Weald Wolver

* JerkassHasAPoint

* ProfessionalKiller: Kruin hired him as such
* SpellMyNameWithAThe

* {{Foil}}: For Jame

* OffingTheOffspring
-->'''Gnasher''': The young always consume the old--unless the old strike first. Kruin taught me that, even if he didn't have the guts to succeed himself. How else could I have become the King of the Wood if I hadn't killed my father? No pup of mine will survive to do the same to me and so I will live forever.

* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: He went south, and studied Rendish poetry, then took it back and started writing it in his own language. His ''rendish'' work still sucks though.
