10Templars of Kayne is a quick to play strategic board game designed by Forsaken Games. It consists of the training battles held by the titular templars of Kayne, giving each player a small force of 3 to 5 of said Templars and getting them to battle it out until only one side is left standing. Two notable things about the game are the cartoonish triangular character art, and the speed of play, which is designed to imitate traditional wargaming while only taking quarter of an hour to play a game. There are currently 3 games associated with Templars of Kayne: Welcome to the Arena, the main game, with the board, 40 templars, and the rules; Enter the Fray, an expansion allowing for up to 5 players to play simultaneously, as well as adding 5 more templars; and Join the Ranks, adding a further 20 templars.
11!Tropes
12* ActionGirl: All of the female characters, but most notably Faara, Sedna, Jenna and Anne
13* AlwaysOnDuty: For the most part averted due to the large cast, but it is heavily implied that at all times either Solomon or Remus is at their post.
14* {{Ambadassador}}: Officially, Graal. Exacerbated by the fact that he is a [[BearsAreBadNews talking bear in solid steel armour.]]
15* AmbiguouslyHuman: A majority of the Thaos experiments.
16%%* AnimateInanimateObject: Mail and Clank are both this.
17%%* ArtificialLimbs: One is used by Ivan
18* AuraVision: Implied to be Twylyth's means of seeing anything.
19%%* BadassAdorable: Ingenia
20* BattleCouple: Celviler and Feldin. Not only is it canon, they also pair surprisingly well as a combo in game!
21%%* BearsAreBadNews: Graarl.
22%%* {{BFS}}: Several, but the most notable is Faara's.
23* TheBigGuy: Several, but most notable is Atlas, coming in at 3 times the size of pretty much anyone else there.
24* BioAugmentation: The apparent source of the Thaos Experiments
25* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Attached at the wrist for Litanus, with the added bonus of them being deployable and [[BodyHorror made of his own bone]].
26* BlindWeaponmaster: Twylyth. Though the blinding is self inflicted.
27* BloodSport: The game is based around the weekly gladiatorial games/training sessions put on by the titular group.
28%%* BlowGun: Used by Vivian, among many other weapons...
29* BlueBlood: The title of Head Templar is hereditary, with some contingency in place for unexpected death.
30%%* BornAsAnAdult: Apparently, Promethea.
31%%* CallaSmeerpARabbit: The Templars themselves.
32* ClockworkCreature: Clank, but he's assisted by a healthy dose of magic.
33%%* ColdSniper: Remus, the hunter.
34%%* {{Courier}}: David
35%%* {{Cyborg}}: Ivan
36%%* DeathIsCheap: Justified through the use of "Clone Summons"
37* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Pretty much the only way to beat down a well played tank.
38%%* DualWielding: Practically everyone.
39%%* EasyAmnesia: Pretty much permanent on Jack
40* EthnicMagician: Xavier and Stefan are both Ma'Dhreshi wizards, however, all of the countries have wizards of some kind.
41%%* ExcusePlot: Pretty much.
42* FantasticFightingStyle: All of the Templars hailing from the White Hills follow "The Path of Action Before Thought"
43* FantasyGunControl: Averted by Darryn and Anne, who respectively use bombs and a portable cannon.
44%%* FragileSpeedster: David, Ripper and Shinji all fit this trope to a T.
45%%* FriendlySniper: Solomon, the archer.
46%%* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The appearance of Z.
47* ForTheLulz: Basically the only reason that "Team Playing God" (Illyamna, Mordecai, Georgia and Shaun) do anything.

53* GuiltFreeExterminationWar: There is one between Kayne and the Barbarics.
54* HealingShiv: Jedediah's attacks heal allies and harm enemies.

70%%* TheMedic: Jedediah, Erica and Marilyn.
71* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Litanus Angelum, Brutus, and Ripper, to name a few...
72* NorthIsColdSouthIsHot: Averted: the warmest part of the map is the central desert, and the coldest area is the Törska plateau in the south.
73* NotUsingTheZWord: Present with Illyamna's... "thralls". Also, Litanus is an "Abberation", not a vampire.
