Worthy Opponent: The airmen don't kill enemy airmen who have been rendered harmless, and when they're able to recover their opponents' corpses, they are returned to their own side for the funeral. This is contrasted with what their bombings do to enemy civilians. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| Arrowsmith (Comic Book) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: The are at least two distinct types of zombie within the world. One an Artificial Zombie that is created by a weapon of mass destruction: a magical gas that kills anyone who breathes it and then raises them as a zombie. The other is the traditional Voodoo Zombie, who are seen serving as part of the Gallian colonial troops. | |

Our Dragons Are Different: Airmen are soldiers who fly by magically transferring the flight ability of a dragonet (baby dragon) into themselves. Each airman has his own dragonet companion who typically rides his shoulder, and he wears strips of skin shed by the dragonet's mother to help form a bond between them. | |

The Unmasqued World: At the forging of the Peace of Charlemagne (the Pax Nicephori in the real world), the various hidden magical races of the world decided to make their existence openly known to humanity, also joining in the peace treaty. Dryads, trolls, dwarves, etc. live among humanity, magic co-exists side-by-side with technology. The Industrial Revolution is causing a magical revolution, as spells become mass-produced for the first time in human history. | |
