1''Tall Tales of Memoria'' is a ConceptAlbum by Project Trinity telling the story of an assortment of characters in a high fantasy world and how their lives are derailed by a political uprising the king blames Isabel (Laura Intravia) for, as she works to clear out the nobles' corruption and eventually has to give up everything for it.

5!!This album contains examples of:
6
7* AllThereInTheManual: Without "The Language of Memoria," which isn't publicly available, it's hard to tell what the words in the story's fantasy language mean, including "viasca cala mor," which is part of the ArcWords as well as the title of one of the songs.
8* AltoVillainess: While no one is completely good in this story, Patricia, with the lowest voice in the female cast, is one of the worst.
9* AmbiguouslyBrown: Isabel and her sister Vallia, at least, and possibly the rest of the country as we don't have more official art.
10* {{Animesque}}: The cover art looks like a panel of detailed shoujo manga, and even the voice actors are largely pulled from anime cover artists.
11* ArcWords: "Tall tale" pops up in a few songs, as does "viasca cala mor."
12* BlackAndGreyMorality: Isabel's no saint and her enemies are worse.
13* CainAndAbel: Isabel and Vallia are drawn against one another, and by "Blood No More" have disowned each other. [[spoiler:They reconcile before "Viasca Cala Mor" when Luka warns them that Patricia went back on her word and had Elanor executed.]]
14* GenreRoulette: Musically, anyway. Project Trinity describes the album as "Metal Jazz Orchestral Swing" and [=iTunes=] lists it as a rock album.
15* GoldDigger: Isabel insults Vallia by inferring that Elanor is just the latest in a line of nobles and other rich women she's tried to impress to earn the king's favour. We don't know if she's right, but Vallia certainly seems to love Elanor, money or not.
16* GreatEscape: The story begins with Isabel breaking out of jail and inciting riots by killing nine corrupt judges.
17* IHaveYourWife: Patricia convinces Vallia to comply with her plan by threatening her fiancee.
18* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Vallia and Patricia, and it's even in their voice types, with Isabel in between them.
19* MsExposition: Luka, when she's not saving passersby.
20* NeverMyFault: When the King orders her to [[spoiler:execute Elanor]], Patricia blames Isabel and takes no responsibility for going along with it.
21
22* OffWithHerHead: The King's preferred punishment.
23* ShameIfSomethingHappened: ''Don't you even care about your love Elanor?/I pity her fate if Isabel lives.''
24* SpidersAreScary: And Arachne Woods is full of them, particularly a human-sized one who tries to eat Isabel.
25* VillainBall: The King [[spoiler:orders Elanor executed, even though, as Patricia tells him, she's more valuable as a hostage. This leads directly to Isabel and Vallia reconciling and deciding to take him down together.]]
26* VillainSong: "Welcome to my Web" for the spider queen. Twisted with Patricia; while she has "A Noble's Heart" for herself, it's more about her inner turmoil (though she does conclude [[NeverMyFault that she did nothing wrong]]) and she's playing the villain much more in the songs she shares with the good guys.
27* TheVoiceless: Elanor is used as motivation throughout the story and the King is the driving force between everyone, but both are unvoiced.
28* WordOfGay: Vallia/Elanor is blatant in the text, but WordOfGod says Isabel is also a lesbian, possibly with a {{tsundere}} thing for Luka.
