* AerithAndBob: Jake Spencer and Sullivan Chesterford sound normal enough. Claret and Chaska are unusual first names. Corwin ''Elenthir'' and Qua' Lon, however, are not usual names at all.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Skyborn's magical abilities are greatly reduced from Qua'lon's death, surely dulling their teeth for more conquest especially with Alda telling them about what fueled them for so long, and most of the characters look forward to what will hopefully settle down into a much more peaceful time...aside from Chaska, who must be remain alone in the Celestial Nexus. She's happy that she's finally in the "place" she belongs though, and hopes that one day other Fey may be born out of the Earth, to learn how to open the dimensional portals to get visit her friends every now and then, and to change the Celestial Nexus to something less torturous.]]

* HealingMagicIsTheHardest: Those with Skyborn blood are inevitably magical, but healing magic is incredibly rare. [[spoiler:Only Corwin and the original Empress of the Skyborn are known to have this capability]].

* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: This view is held by the Skyborns towards the half-breeds, and to a certain extent, humans. The humans also think half-breeds are vermin.
* ParentalAbandonment: This is the way Claret views her parents. To be fair, [[CannotSpitItOut Jake never told her]] [[spoiler:[[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou they had died as rebels when they were just children]].]]

* SteamPunk: The human towns look of this, as does the protagonist Claret (not to mention the existence of airships, or the towns being covered in enough smog to conceal the sun...). However, other characters don't adhere to the genre's look and tend more toward a fantasy aesthetic.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Philibert, who always has a heart in a speech bubble after talking to Alda and flowerly compliments her, including calling her a goddess. Alda regards him with little more than telling him to stand right there to get away from him, which he does all the time. [[spoiler:Funnily enough, [[RuleOfThree his third appearance]] gets her declared the Skyborn's Empress.]]

* BraggingRightsReward: Defeating Saehral gives you an achievement, an item that doesn't actually do anything, and a bunch of experience which you've just proven you don't need.
* DrawAggro: In an MMORPG-like fashion, the player's party has "threat" of 100% divided up among living members of the party. Damaging and killing enemies increases a party member's threat, and characters have specific abilities that especially manipulate the threat system.
* ElectiveMonarchy: After [[spoiler:the death of the Skyborn Empress]].

Empress, Alda is made the new one after a bold exclamation from [[AbhorrentAdmirer Philibert]], funnily enough]].

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The equipment system in general. Your party will later be armed and armored to the teeth, which would probably attract interest in of itself given most of your characters aren't professional guards, and lots of that stuff certainly doesn't sound very concealable. Obsidian is mentioned to be closely regulated by the Skyborn, with various people saying having the stuff is a quick way to get the Skyborn to put you down. However, players are quite capable of eventually obtaining armor and weapons made from it (buying it from a Skyborn shop, even) which won't cause them any trouble with other Skyborn.



%%* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: In this case, the Skyborn Empress.

%%* * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: In this case, the The Skyborn Empress.Empress. [[spoiler:She's having half-breeds kidnapped to be sent to the Celestial Nexus so their magic can be drained by Qua'lon and is probably ensuring the Skyborn's origins are kept under wraps, though as far as she knew, Qua'lon was the only Fey left in the world.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: This is the way Claret views her parents. To be fair, Jake never told her [[spoiler:they had died when they were just children.]]
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Skyborn race in general. Alda found almost nothing about their past save for the war against the humans which is only part of their history they'll talk about, and military rank ''is'' Skyborn hierarchy.

* RuleOfThree: Philibert's appearances. The first two times, Alda tells him to just stand him right there which he enthusiastically obeys. [[spoiler:The third time, he pops in after Alda tells the Skyborn of their past to suggest Alda should be the Empress, which promptly happens.]]



** Why the Skyborn are kidnapping half-breeds.
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:The Empress. The player never fights her - Sullivan just kills her dropping in as the Red Spectre in a cutscene himself.]]
