Added DiffLines:

* CerebusSyndrome: The ''Mystery of Aaravos'' arc has proven to be a good lot darker than the first three-season arc, as BloodlessCarnage is averted a lot more frequently, combat becomes a good bit more intense compared to battles in the first arc, and the arc in general carries a somewhat more heavier, angst-driven tone to it through its various characters compared to the first, albeit still containing plenty of light-hearted moments throughout.

* ArtifactTitle: The series owes its title to the titular Dragon Prince, Azymondias (or "Zym"), who is central to the plot as the main characters take on a perilous journey to return him to his home while the antagonists attempt to capture him.

Perhaps to soften this trope, from Season 4 onwards the series carries the subtitle "Mystery of Aaravos", to highlight that [[GreaterScopeVillain Aaravos]] is the new focus of the plot]].

* CanisLatinicus: Ancient Draconic, the language used for magic incantations, is represented using Latin. The terminology is mostly based on actual Latin, but some loose-and-fast translation lead to some spells not meaning quite what the writers likely intended them to. For instance, a freezing breath spell, ''Aspiro Frigis'', seems to mean something like "cold wind" -- but ''frigis'' is actually the second-person singular form of ''frigere'', "to fry" (the Latin term for "to be cold" is ''frigēre''), leading the phrase to mean something like "I breathe, you fry" -- rather ironically, given the spell's effects. "Aspiro Frigus" would be more accurate: "I, who am cold, breathe."

** There are five human kingdoms: Katolis, Duren, Neolandia, Evenere and Del Bar. All the human main characters are from Katolis, Duren played an important role in an event in the past that lead to the death of Queen Sarai, and eventually to the killing of the Dragon King, and Prince Kasef of Neolandia plays an important role in Season 3 by indirectly [[spoiler:dethroning Ezran and putting Viren as the new king of Katolis, which finally allowed him to wage war against Xadia]]. Evenere and Del Bar, on the other hand, haven't played any important role so far and have no plot-relevant characters to their name.
** There are six kind of elves, one for each source of primal magic. While Moonshadow, Sunfire and Skywing elves were introduced relatively early, Earthblood elves weren't introduced until Season 4 (and even then, very few were introduced and the series didn't delve into their characteristics and culture as deep as with the aforementioned three), while Tidebound elves wouldn't appear until Season 5, and no Startouch elf other than Aaravos has been seen so far.
