* PerfectionIsStatic: The elves are a race of superhumanly beautiful and immortal magic-users who, to mortals, appear to be perfect angelic beings. However, as a result of all of these characteristics, they are also practically incapable of personal growth. All but a handful of the youngest elves seen in the series are still caught up in the trauma of a civil war that took place ''three thousand'' years ago and choose to dwell on petty grudges and slights even in the face of an onrushing apocalypse.

The ''Arcia Chronicles'' (''Хроники Арции'') is a HighFantasy novel series by Russian author Vera Kamsha, set in a ConstructedWorld of Tarra, which itself is a part of a [[TheMultiverse multiverse]]. What makes Tarra stand out among other worlds is that unlike them, it doesn't have any {{god}}s: some nine thousand years ago, seven alien deities known as the "Lightbringers" conquered Tarra, [[DeathOfTheOldGods slaughtered the native Old Gods]] and whatever worshipers they had, and ruled Tarra for seven thousand years in the name of the "[[LightIsNotGood Light]]". After that, the "Light" called them back, leaving Tarra [[GodsHandsAreTied effectively defenseless against cosmic threats]]. Therefore, it is up to local humans and a handful of [[OurElvesAreDifferent Elves]] (left behind by two renegade Lightbringers) to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punch out cosmic monstrosities]] eying Tarra. The books are mostly set in Arcia (hence the title), a VestigialEmpire (later, a much smaller kingdom) in what is likely the most densely populated region of the world.

* TheModernGods: The Lightbringers were seven deities who conquered the ConstructedWorld of Tarra, [[DeathOfTheOldGods killed its entire original pantheon]], and ruled it for [[ArcNumber seven]] thousand years. Unfortunately, they were still subordinate to an even greater deity, the Throne of Light, so when it called them back, they had to leave Tarra behind with no more gods to protect it from cosmic dangers.

added a new trope!

* GunpowderFantasy: The first duology features early 17th-century level of warfare tactics, with the mix of musketeers and pikemen ruling the field, but from book three onward, technology actually regresses back to high medieval level, with firearms completely abandoned.
