1	''The Blade of the Flame'' is a trilogy by Tim Waggoner chronicling the adventures of Diran Bastiaan, a priest of the Church of the Silver Flame in the TabletopGame/{{Eberron}} Campaign Setting. It consists of:
2
3	* ''Thieves of Blood''
4	* ''Forge of the Mindslayers''
5	* ''Sea of Death''
6
7	----
8	!!These books provide examples of:
9	%%* AntiHero: Diran himself, and possibly Makala later
10	%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Makala]]
11	%%* HeelFaceTurn: Diran and Makala in the backstory, and [[spoiler:Makala]] later
12	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Diran begins the series with only Ghaji by his side, and at the end everyone splits up, leaving Diran and Ghaji alone again.
13	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In the third book, the plan to create an army of Weresharks is foiled when a disgraced paladin Werewolf appears on the scene. He is subsequently bitten by an aforementioned wereshark and manages to become cursed AGAIN. Result? Weresharkwolf... or werewolfshark. One of the two anyways...
14	%%* SadisticChoice: Erdis Cai tries to pull one on Diran in the first book
15	* ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot: The books are good, but the author clearly didn't read the psionics rules. Any psionic character is basically treated as a {{Gamebreaker}} (Remember, you can only use a number of power points equal to or less than your Manifester Level, no more.)
16	** Clearly Solus out-leveled the rest of the cast significantly, plus there's the whole issue of what a [[SuperPrototype psi-forged]] might be able to do in the first place.
17	%%* TakeAThirdOption: Diran's response to the above choice.
