''Event Horizon: Storm Of Magic'' is an ongoing ScienceFiction/[[MedievalEuropeanFantasy medieval fantasy]]/CrossOver series by django with a seemingly simple basic premise: what if the fantasy worlds of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle Earth]], ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and [[spoiler:''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'']] all took place on four separate planets in the same star system? And what if those those planets were all located in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Eridani Epsilon Eridani System]], not too far (relatively speaking) from Earth?

* FutureFoodIsArtificial: Most food the people of Earth eat are hydroponic vegetables and meat substitutes grown from algae, with real meat and fish being a luxury for the rich. Hence the UN marines at Epsilon Eridani are excited to eat '''real bacon and eggs''' rather than artificial ones and one Company™ employee decides to indulge in eating real fish as it's not everyday he can get the real deal.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

** [[spoiler:Fred's plan to have The Company™ make Daenerys the Queen of Westeros is shot down by the CEO, who points out that her father, the Mad King, was a crazy war criminal. With a reputation like that, neither the people of Westeros or the UN would want the daughter of said Mad King as the new Queen. Also, the UN would rather trust an older and experienced leader rather than a young girl with no experience in leadership and who could be easily manipulated by her advisors]].
** Karl "The Fooking Legend of Gin Alley" Tanner advertise his services as a hitman on The Kingspost, King's Landing new newspaper. Naturally, Karl is later arrested by the Gold Cloaks on suspicion that he was hired to kill a recent murder victim.

** During a New Years radio interview with a representative of The Company, Herr Domenech Belleville, when the subject of a tv adaptation Jorge R.R. de Martín's Throne Of Blood books comes up, Belleville mentions hoping the TV adaptation will help speed up writing process on the books.
--> I mean, the guy's a great writer, but seriously, how long has he been working on the next book now?

*** The same chapter mentions The Company suing people for making replicas of The Iron Throne, over the copyright... despite their only claim to the "copyright" being the fact the only publicly available photo of it at time being taken and uploaded by one of their employees.

* ShownTheirWork: Apart from the existence of magic and some AppliedPhlebotinum (like the FasterThanLightTravel), most of The Company™'s tech is portrayed pretty reasonably, with explanations on how they work. Ships and space stations have to generate ArtificialGravity through rotation; FasterThanLightTravel is still "slow", taking months for voyages between stars; there is [[SpaceIsNoisy no sound in space]]; and FrickinLaserBeams are portrayed pretty accurately.
