* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Expected since the story takes place during the First Age, so there are plenty of cameos of characters who become important in later in the First Age and in later Ages. Celebrimbor, the future creator of the Rings of Power, shows as part of the Feänorian retinue of Celegorm and Curufin. Orodreth and Finduilas (for a given value of "young"), who have important roles in the ''Literature/TheChildrenOfHurin'', are PointOfView characters.

* AnimalisticAbomination: The giant spiders of Nan Dungortheb, all descendants of [[EldritchAbomination Ungoliant]]. To a lesser extent, Huan the horse-sized hound also counts, at least from the perspective of Westerosi.

* CanineCompanion: Celegorm is almost always accompanied by his faithful wolfhound Huan.
* CanisMajor: Huan again, who is noted to reach up to Celegorm's chest when standing at full height.

* OathboundPower: It's implied that [[spoiler:Rolly swearing his Kingsguard vows in Middle-earth gave them some [[MagicallyBindingContract supernatural power]] of their own. He is constantly alert and sleeps lightly in case he needs to spring to action, and it's all done so subconsciously it surprises him]].

Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The main tragedy driving the story forwards: because they met him first, he helped them, and is their sole source of information on this new world, Aegon and the Golden Company are completely unaware that they are being manipulated by [[TheDragon Sauron]] into working for [[BigBad Morgoth]] in his [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal]] war against the peoples of Beleriand.]]

* AlternativeCalendar: It is noted that the time the Golden Company landed at the end of the "Fading" season, which WordOfGod explained was the elven name for autumn and roughly corresponding to our months of October and November (The Elves have six seasons in their calendar, each accounting for about two months).

Added DiffLines:

* FellAsleepStandingUp: Demonstrated by Orodreth in one of his chapters, since Tolkien's Elves have an innate ability to remain alert and active while resting their minds in a dream-like state.

* AlternativeContinuity: Leaving aside the very nature of the crossover changing things, the ''Silmarillion''-side of the story actually takes [[BroadStrokes a few liberties]] in regard to elements of it, though it still largely faithfully follows its canon. For example, the fic's Orodreth is the son of Angrod, which Tolkien once thought of as he reworked the character, whereas in the published Silmarillion he is one of Finarfin's sons. At the same time, unlike the CanonDiscontinuity, Finduilas here is still his only child, rather than Gil-Galad being his son as well.
