* LongTitle:
** "The Dark Liege of Chaos is Unleashed At the Ensorcelled Shrine of A'Zura Kai (The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire: Part II)" is just the most extreme example.
** "And Lo, When the Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown."

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Warrior kings and chieftains abound.
** And the Voyager Prime of course.

* HeavyMithril
* {{Hell}}: The Outer Darkness.
** The Black Galaxy seems to be a major portal to that place; fortunately is well contained by cosmic entities.
* LongTitle: "The Dark Liege of Chaos is Unleashed At the Ensorcelled Shrine of A'Zura Kai (The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire: Part II)" is just the most extreme example.
** Right after that is "And Lo, When the Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown."

* LargeHam: Roberts can really get hammy (Draconis Albionensis, for example), and the sweeping keyboard and guitar work accentuates this. Nevertheless, it's the ''good'' type of ham.

** Lord Angsaar to a lesser extent, who also is a ChessMaster.

* The {{Precursors}}: The Mera and to a lesser extent the Voyagers, although the lyrics hint there are even older races who even them call gods.
