Duchess Orobelle is the knot that holds the universes together. This is the legacy her late mother left her: [[BarrierMaiden if she dies, all reality would come to an end]]. She sits at the centre of a trouble history between [[RoyallyScrewedUp four noble houses]], the [[AliceAllusion Hearts,]] [[PlayingCardMotifs Diamonds, Clubs and Spades,]] which together claim land in three universes as their own. For all [[ArcNumber twelve years]] of her life, Orobelle has grappled with plots foisted upon her by the Diamond Duchy's history of attempted coups and [[SuccessionCrisis interfering with the House of Hearts' line of succession]].

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Vesper is very much aware of the overwhelming responsibility entailed by her leadership, and takes the blame for anything and everything that goes wrong under her purview.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Invoked when Liss kidnaps six-year-old Freesia to gain some bargaining power over Orobelle—if a child's kidnapping doesn't compel her to act then her people will demand she do something about it.

Pala and Fen's world is nominally this, but in practice, it is more of a NextSundayAD setting.

Added DiffLines:
* ScavengerWorld: Played with. In Artur's world, scientists no longer have access to the processes that gave rise, but they managed to jury-rig together supply chains from whatever facilities and resources are still available in the Arctic Circle. Everything runs on borrowed time however, as primary industries--in particular those relating to agriculture--have run completely dry.
Added DiffLines:
* StandardPostApocalypticSetting: Artur's world, your standard barren icy post-nuclear apocalypse hellscape. And yes, it's in Russia. You're going to be hearing a lot about Artur's world in relation to apocalyptic tropes.
