History Fanfic / TheHouseOfElendil

* IneffectualDeathThreats: After Belzagar shows a nearly dead Drogo to Daenerys and has his braid cut off, she vows that she and her unborn child will destroy Umbar and ensure that Belzegar dies screaming. An impressive threat, certainly, but right now she's got no way to back it up.

* LivingRelic: Isildur is this to normal people. He's been alive since the time of Aegon the Conqueror. Varys even asks him what Aegon was really like, to which Isildur answers that he was greedy, solitary, obsessed with his legacy, and that he talked too much.
* MasterRace: The Mouth of Umbar considers the Numenoreans to be of a higher breed than all others and are destined to rule over everyone.

* PaperThinDisguise: Valandil among the Dothraki, which is lampshaded several times. It's pretty hard to pretend you're not a Numenorean when you're ''seven feet tall.'' Doesn't help that he tells Daenerys the tale of Luthien and Beren.

* CompellingVoice: The Mouth of Umbar uses this to try and convince Khal Drogo to ally with his master. Judging by how effective he was to the other Dothraki, he probably added a touch of magic to make his spiel seem irresistible. Unfortunately, he underestimated Drogo, who just laughs at him, saying that he doesn't need Umbar or its king. Needless to say, the Mouth [[UnderStatement was not pleased.]]

* IneffectualDeathThreats: After Belzegar shows a nearly dead Drogo to Daenerys and has his braid cut off, she vows that she and her unborn child will destroy Umbar and ensure that Belzegar dies screaming. An impressive threat, certainly, but right now she's got no way to back it up.

* TheDreaded: The fear factor has ''really'' been played up with Umbar, largely due to how insidiously subtle they are. Ghis, Qarth and the Jade Gates have basically gone dark, no ships come out of the region and any ship that does venture there never comes back. Even with the Palantir, all that can be seen is shadows. The only inkling anyone has about what's lying in wait is vague rumors of great ships with black sails and red eyes emblazoned on them.

* TransHuman: The Numenoreans are a light version of this. They can live to be 300 at a minimum and have knowledge and skills that surpasses that of pretty much everyone else in Westeros. Naturally, a lot of people are envious of them. Robert especially thinks they're too full of themselves, though Isildur is the exception.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: So far, Viserys is the object of pretty much everyone's disdain, including his allies. Drogo hardly acknowledges that he exists, Jorah and Valandil insult him behind his back and even Daenarys regards him as nothing more than a fool. Small wonder he chose to sign up with Umbar.

* IneffectualDeathThreats: After Belzegar shows a nearly dead Drogo to Daenarys and has his braid cut off, she vows that she and her unborn child will destroy Umbar and ensure that Belzegar dies screaming. An impressive threat, certainly, but right now she's got no way to back it up.

* BlackmailBackfire: Tywin has Isildur taken as a hostage in order to ensure that Elendil and Gondor don't march against him while he ravages the Riverlands. Unfortunately, as of Chapter 21, [[spoiler: Isildur has been freed, so now there's nothing stopping Gondor from coming down to give the Lannister's a good stomping. Even worse, Isildur managed to kill Gregor Clegane during his escape.]]

* TheProphecy: At the end of Chapter 19, [[spoiler: Aratan delivers an utterly epic one to Joffrey.]]

* RetiredBadass: Though Elendil is more concerned with ruling his domains, he's had quite an exciting life. He helped the Targaryans conquer Dhorne and during the Dance of Dragons, personally slew a dragon by himself.

* BlackmailBackfire: Tywin attempts to hold Isildur as a hostage in order to ensure that Elendil and Gondor don't march against him while he ravages the Riverlands.

* BadassArmy: The Numenoreans are not to be taken lightly. When the Greyjoys rebelled, Isildur and his kin destroyed them before the rest of the kingdom could get to the Iron Islands. Before that, they helped conquer Dhorne.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Valandil really suffers from a lack of foresight. He doesn't seem to consider that siding with Daenarys and attempting to restore her to the Iron Throne might put him in conflict with his own family.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Valandil really suffers from a lack of foresight.

* CultureClash: The Numenoreans' faith and society tends to grate on a lot of Westerosi.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: So far, Viserys is the object of pretty much everyone's disdain. Drogo never thanks him for his marriage to his sister, Jorah and Valandil insult him behind his back and even Daenarys doesn't hold him in high regard. Small wonder he chose to sign up with Umbar.

* TheEmpire: Umbar is shaping up to be this, having displayed a bit of its power by [[spoiler:destroying Drogo's khalasar with a force only half its size. It should be noted that the Dothraki in general are perhaps the most feared fighting force on Essos, to the point that even the Free Cities opt to pay tribute rather than fight them, and Drogo's khalasar was the largest.]] Considering that Elendil didn't establish Gondor in Middle Earth like he did in canon and that Umbar has had a good few centuries to grow, it's likely going to be a very big threat later on.

* BadassArmy: The Numenoreans are not to be taken lightly. When the Greyjoys rebelled, Isildur and his kin destroyed them before the rest of the kingdom could get to the Iron Islands.

* AnyoneCanDie: It's Game of Thrones, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. Among the dead so far are [[spoiler: Balon and Victarion Greyjoy,Barristan Selmy Robert Baratheon and Aratan.]]

Summary by the author: Across the Sunset Sea, they come. Nine ships and three lords and one white tree. Elendil the Tall and his people have come out of the fall of Numenor to the shores of Westeros, and now they join the Game of Thrones. They must win or die.
