3''The Legend of Korah'' is a [[WebAnimation Flash animation series]] created by the author known as Xela/NF[[note]]The former is an anagram for Alex, the latter is initials for "Nintendo Flash"[[/note]] and the same internet community behind ''Eutopia, the Worlds''.
4
5The setting is a HighFantasy [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy medieval world]] combined with some [[{{Shonen}} battle shonen]], making quite a mix of [[NeverBringAKnifeToAFistfight Swords-beating-everything]], [[EnergyWeapon glowy energy beams]] and ''"[[ILetYouWin I was testing you]] [[IAmNotLeftHanded by using my left hand]]"'' speeches.

7Korah, a [[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude 15-year-old swordsman]] decides to take revenge and stop the evil emperor Nergal from taking over the world. To do so, he must find and recruit the [[MagnificentSeven seven other swordsmen]], who wield the legendary weapons needed to defeat him.

14!!This series provides examples of:
15* AllThereInTheManual: There has been quite a lot written and planned in comparison to what has been animated. So there are quite a lot of characters and scenarios that can be found nowhere except for [=BlizzardBlades=]' Forums.
16%% * AnimeHair
17* AnnoyingArrows: Inverted. Even when 99% of arrows don't hit, when they do it is quite a serious matter.
18* ArtEvolution: Just compare the prologue (which used sprites from Franchise/FireEmblem) with chapter 4. Chapter 4 still has a few things OffModel, but it's definitely better.
19* AwesomeButImpractical: Most of the attacks in the series, while awesome looking, seem to do little to no damage. This is probably to make the battles more interesting.
20* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Everything goes pretty much along the way of a legend.
21%% * ConservationOfNinjutsu: Against the bandits.
22%% * DebutQueue: How the introduction of the main swordsmen is planned out.
23%% * DoomedHometown / RapePillageAndBurn: [[spoiler: Korah's village]]
24%% * ElementalPowers:
25%% ** Brother/sister elements:
26%% *** [[DishingOutDirt Earth]]
27%% *** [[BlowYouAway Wind]]
28%% *** [[MakingASplash Water]]
29%% *** [[PlayingWithFire Fire]]
30%% *** [[AnIcePerson Ice]]
31%% *** [[ShockAndAwe Thunder]]
32%% *** [[HolyHandGrenade Light]]
33%% *** [[CastingAShadow Dark]]
34%% ** [[InfinityPlusOneElement Main Elements]]:
35%% *** [[TimeMaster Time]]
36%% *** [[GravityMaster Cha]][[TeleportersAndTransporters os]]
37%% *** [[ElementNumberFive Aet]][[NonElemental her]]
38* ElvesVersusDwarves: On a weird subversion, the Neodammerai and Angeli hate each other to death (as a matter of fact, they were in war), even when both species are wise and pacifistic.
39%% * [[EvilChancellor Evil Chancellor And General]]: Nergal.
40* FantasticRacism: [[ElvesVersusDwarves Neodammerai and Angelis hate each other to death]]. Humans wanted the fur from the Angelis (as it was magical), so they hunted them down; almost to extinction. Neodammerai thinks lower of the other species like humans, [[PerfectPacifistPeople not in a violent way]] of course, but [[ProudScholarRaceGuy they believe themselves superiors]].
41* FisherKing: TheGoodKingdom was governed by a good and noble king, making it noble as well. When the EvilChancellor kills the king and takes his place, it becomes TheEmpire. It is said that the way to return to peace is to kill Nergal, so this applies.
42* {{Flynning}}: 90 % of the Battles are made of people countering beams with beams, or hitting each other's swords.
43* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Korah learns in seconds techniques Snow took years to master. [[LampShaded It's brought to attention by Snow]].
44%% * InfinityPlusOneSword: The Legendary Sword.
45%% ** AllYourColorsCombined: When all Elemental swords are combined.
46* InvincibleHero: {{subverted|Trope}}. [[spoiler: Korah defeats Snow 3 TIMES without a problem. [[ILetYouWin Of course, Snow let him win]], though Korah still showed no difficulty in defeating him, [[HardWorkHardlyWorks despite the years of training Snow has.]] After those fights, they battle separately against a group of bandits that try to rob them, which can be considered their first real battle. Even when Korah started smoothly, he is suddenly hit by an arrow. The blood lost from the arrow-hit renders him unable to keep on fighting, something Korah doesn't understand, as he believed he should be winning.]]
47* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler: Snow lost on purpose to Korah the entire time. The author regrets this, as Snow is supposed to be stronger than Korah and the wrong impression was given]].
48%% * ItWasAGift: Korah's sword.
49%% * LastOfHisKind: Korah and Snow. [[spoiler: Subverted shortly after in the case of Snow]].
50%% * LightIsNotGood: Nergal wears a white outfit to show his "purity".
51%% * MagnificentSeven
52%% * MeaningfulName: Snow Taradien, Korah, et al.
53%% * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: The seven [[spoiler:or eight]] legendary swords.
54%% * RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Most of the chosen ones are quite young.
55%% * RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Snow
56%% * RPGElements
57%% * SavingTheWorld
58* TheChosenOne: The sacred swords can only be wielded by the ones they choose to wield them. This makes all seven swordsmen chosen ones.
59%% * TeleportSpam
