Deleted line(s) 233 (click to see context) :
* TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed: It doesn't happen overnight, but Lavos' arrival eventually causes an Ice Age which lasts over sixty million years. The Enlightened Ones use magic to inhabit the sky, above the never-ending blizzard, but the collapse of Zeal results in the destruction of that civilization.
Added DiffLines:
* LawOfTimeTravelCoincidences: Each of the gates the party finds leads to a point in time that is mere days, if not hours, away from some significant event, which the party now retroactively has a hand in.
** In AD 600, it's the abduction and assassination of Queen Leene, and subsequent escalation into war with Fiend-kind that eventually leads to Frog fighting Magus.
** In AD 1999, the party fights Lavos on the day that it emerges from the Earth to cause the apocalypse.
** In 65,000,000 BC, [[spoiler:shortly after defeating Azala, Lavos crashes into the planet, heralding the end of the age of the dinosaurs, and the start of the Ice Age]].
** In 12,000 BC, during the Ice Age, [[spoiler:the party witnesses the fall of the floating kingdom of Zeal, and the rise of the Black Omen]].
** DiscussedTrope in the aftermath of Robo taking TheSlowPath to fix Fiona's forest--back in the "present day" (of the story), he wonders if there is some "Entity" directing the party to arrive at key moments in history but given that there's no proof all he can make of the thought is idle philosophizing; afterward, a time portal opens up just in time for [[spoiler:Lucca to save her mother from being permanently crippled by one of Taban's inventions, but in a way that still inspires the younger Lucca to take up the path of a scientist so there is no OntologicalParadox]].
