The sirens are referred to as [[Music/TheBeatles ringostars]], Circe is Monalisa, and Clargueibl and Vivianlig live in a house named "Film/GoneWithTheWind".

*TheSavageSouth: Played straight
*TheStoryteller: All the tales are narrated by a storyteller to an anonymous audience, probably BreakingTheFourthWall
*UrbanWarfare: in ''"About Cities that Grow Uncontrollably"'', near the end, the general and later Emperor [[GeneralRipper Oddembar'Seïl the Bloodthirsty]] tries to refugee in TheCity, but he's caught with the pants down by his enemies, so he must fight.
*YoungConqueror: Bib and Seisdimillia, among several others.
!!This work provides examples of the following tropes:
*AerithAndBob: comprehensible, since the Empire travels around the ages.
*TheChosenOne: played with. Seisdimillia was born with the eyes open, and her family makes a big deal about it, so the girl believes in it, and, being cunning and skilled, achieves her destiny as one of the greatest Empresses of Kalpa.
*TheCity: several, but specially The Font of Seven Rivers. Here, we find several City tropes
**HolyCity: when Heldinav'Var banned [[TheStarscream Meabramiddir'Ven]], he goes to the City and begins to preach salvation.
**GhostCity: After the empire moves the Capital to the Southern border.
**HiveCity: Sort of, as the buildings are overlaped and connected.
**SpaceBrasilia: Subverted, in The City remains several buildings from different ages and styles
**RedLightDistrict: Red Light ''City'', at least during its fundation
**WretchedHive: Mezsiasdar sees the Font of Five Rivers as this.
*CyclicTrope: The empire was destroyed and rebuilded several times.
*TheEmperor: obviously, if there is an Empire, there is an Emperor or an Empress (both are true).
*TheEmpire: C'mon. ''The very title'' announces it.
*FullCircleRevolution: played straight and mentioned by the TheStoryteller, several times. But again, several times averted (again, according to the Storyteller.
*GeneralRipper: several, most notoriously Oddembar'Seïl the Bloodthirsty and his enemy Reggnevaün.
*GoldenTranslator: Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin, for the English Version
*MagicFromTechnology: Played straight. There is no sign of any ''real'' supernatural activity, only ancient artifacts (as the pistol aquired by Bib in a Paleolithical downfall.
*MoralGuardians: The emperor Mezsiasdar.
*LaResistance: The South falls in this trope. Again and again, and again.
*RagsToRoyalty: various examples. The story of Bib, among others, overlaps with the CyclicTrope.
*ReluctantRuler: the emperor Ledonoïnor I the Hollow, before being killed by Seisdimilla
*TheStarscream: partially straight with Meabramiddir'Ven
*TheSavageSouth: Played straight
*TheStoryteller: All the tales are narrated by a storyteller to an anonymous audience, probably BreakingTheFourthWall
*UrbanWarfare: in ''"About Cities that Grow Uncontrollably"'', near the end, the general and later Emperor [[GeneralRipper Oddembar'Seïl the Bloodthirsty]] tries to refugee in TheCity, but he's caught with the pants down by his enemies, so he must fight.
