-->'''Master Kirikiri:''' My dearest children, the day we have long awaited is finally upon us! It has been forever since we were entrusted with out task, but as I have always said: [[TitleDrop Forever is but a moment]]. Our liberator will be with us very soon.

** One glaring example of this is Jadina's Eagle Staff; originally a mere weapon with little plot relevance other than the potent magic boosting jade it is made from, it later gets rewritten as an ancestral royal artifact that functions as a test of character for potential queens-to-be and thus marks its wielder as heir to the throne by right. Knowing this, it seems highly unlikely that Jadina would have been allowed to keep the staff following her banishment and loss of her royal title at the start of the series.

It seems strange that, since Jadina was stripped of her title following the Jovenia incident, she was even allowed to leave Orchidia with an important artifact she no longer had a right to.

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Shun-Day is sent by Skroa to infiltrate the Legendaries and lead him to the [[{{McGuffin}} the Horn of Sygma]], but the Legendaries actually treat her a hell of lot better than Skroa does, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which comes back to bite him the ass]].]]

* CharacterTitle: Book 2, which introduces the Guardian, is titled ''The Guardian''

-->'''Abyss:''' You think you know [Tenebris] better than I do? I've seen the depths of her sould, its darkness is comparable to mine! She has a [[TitleDrop legacy of evil]]!

-->'''Master Kirikiri:'''

** [[spoiler: Aidan and Nadia are an example that somehow also brings to mind HollywoodGenetics, since they look a hell of lot more like fair-haired, blue eyed Danael than they do dark-haired, olive skinned Jadina, which as anyone could tell you is not how genetics work; worse, they are somehow ''even more blonde'' than their dad, with an odd green streak to denote their connection to their mother, while their eye color is a mix between their father's blue and their mother's green.]]

* PatchworkKids: [[spoiler: In ''[[SpinOffspring Resistance]]'', Shain's hair is predominantly orange like Gryf, but his sideburns and forelock are turquoise like Shimy. He's an Elf/Jaguarian hybrid, and while his ears are pointed but not elongated like those of full elves, the only feature he appears to have inherited from his beastman is the lion tail, with no noticeable fur or claws to speak of.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Sobral initially wanted to end the series after Book 6, and then after the Anathos Cycle, but eventually altered the plot so it'd go on. He has now confirmed he would at least do 20 Books, and even announced what Books 15, 16, 17 and 18 would be about.

* MoodWhiplash: the serie is a big fan of this; not only, almost all the arcs start with the Legendaries getting themselves embarrassed in some silly mission and end up sending them in a serious one, but at several points, serious moments suddenly turns into jokes, and vice-versa.

* {{Mordor}}: the country of Shiar, where Darkhell built his castle, is pretty much portrayed as this. Klafooty[[note]]([[DubNameChange Cherripie)]][[/note]], to a minor extent, might count as well.

* StartOfDarkness: The spin off ''Les Chroniques de Darkhell'' reveals how Darkhell became the infamous villain. He once was a little boy named Galen and everything began when his mother and little brother were murdered by a tax collector.

* MoralityPet: Tenebris refers to Razzia as "her part of light".
** Tenebris herself came to become this to Darkhell in some way, though is arguadable to say Darkhell "redeemed" himself.

* LargeHam: [[EvilIsHammy unsurprisingly]], Darkhell, Skroa, Anathos and Abyss all have hammy moments at some point.

* LastOfHisKind: Skroa is said several times to be the last survivor of a bird demon specie called the Galina.

* SoapOperaDisease: The Lerdamer disease, which queen Adeyrid has been suffering from for three years when she's introduced in book 13. We're never giving any specifics as to what this disease does to a person, just that it's presumably deadly and has no known cure. The prequel series ''Chronicles of Darkhell'' seems to imply that the Orchidian royal bloodline may have a genetic predisposition to Lerdamer's, since the queen Cosima (Adeyrid's grandmother) i also stated to have it.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: The people of Orchidia more often than not tend to have olive skin. The people of Sabledoray, the Comanshawa tribe and the Maraka warrior women are a FantasyCounterpartCulture to Saudi Arabia, the Comanches and the Dahomey Amazons, respectively. Captain Ceyderom is similarly dark-skinned, though his origin remains undefined.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: the inhabitant of Orchidia and Sabledoray are this, though Orchidia seems to have some white men as well. The Marakas and Comanshawas as well. Captain Ceyderom too, though his origin is undefined.

* AnimeHair: Several characters, elves most prominently, are portrayed with unusual hair colours: Shimy's hair is turquoise [[spoiler:and later turns white]], Regen's hair is pink, Ceyderom, Shun-Day and Halan all have hair in different shades of green, and some Jaguarians even have blue fur. Tellingly, most humans tend to come with more... well, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment human]] hair colors.

* BigBad: Darkhell, later replaced by Abyss.

** Gryf gets two in book 7: One from Jadina when he mutters that he should have slaughtered the villagers for hunting his kind like beasts, and one from Danael when he threatens Jadina and leaves her thoroughly shaken.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Gryf seems to have this kind of relationship with both Shimy and Shun-Day, [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemalOnMale and both tend to either verbally abuse or beat the snot out of him at the smallest provocation]].
