A Land Fit for Heroes is a 'Fantasy Noir' trilogy by the British author Richard K. Morgan (writer of the gritty Cyberpunk Takeshi Kovacs trilogy). It is written in a similar vein to the Joe Abercrombie First Law trilogy, dealing with a fairly Crapsack World fantasy world.The world the books are set in is, like the First Law trilogy, very far into the cynical hand of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, and the intention to subvert and deconstruct a certain number of Fantasy tropes.The trilogy follows three heroes of a great war that took place 9 years before the beginning of the story, fought against the aquatic Scaled Folk who invaded the human lands from the western ocean. Hints are given that the Scaled Folk invaded human lands as they themselves were fleeing something even nastier in the west.All three heroes, previously war-buddies, are now disgusted by their actions following the war, the way their various societies now mistreat and ignore them and are all haunted by the ones they lost during the conflict. Soon, however, they are drawn into a new adventure. The main characters: Ringil Eskiath - A highly skilled human swordsman who led a now-legendary battle against the Scaled Folk and helped lift the siege of the city of Trelayne. A Straight Gay, which is something of a problem in the distinctly intolerant League, although as Ringil points out "You don't go queer baiting when your victim has a reputation of chopping trained swordsmen into dogmeat at the drop of a hat" Egar Dragonbane - Clan chief of one of the numerous northern Majak Tribes. He earned the title Dragonbane during the war against the scaled folk. Archeth Indamaninarnal - A human-kiriath half-breed who was left behind when the rest of her race abandoned the world in their 'fireships' due to her mixed blood. Books in the series: The Steel Remains The Cold Commands The Dark Defiles | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| A Land Fit for Heroes / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: The most recent war was against a race of lizard men led by dragons alongside an immortal race that came from within the earth, but the Aldrain are still considered a mere fairytale. | |

| A Land Fit for Heroes / int_33179374 | comment |
Deity of Human Origin: The Sky Dwellers, also known as the Dark Court, are apparently immortal and possess godlike magical powers, but drop the occasional hint that they were once human. Specifically, it's implied that they are characters from the author's previous Takeshi Kovacs trilogy: Takavach/Dakovash is Takeshi Kovacs, Vividara/Fifidara is Virginia Viduara, and Kelgris/Kwelgrish is Quellcrist Falconer. | |

Left Hanging | |
| A Land Fit for Heroes / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: The main Dwenda plot is resolved. However, the Empire is still at war with the League, Archeth is still on her way back to Yhelteth with her newly sworn bodyguard who consider her a goddess and the Helmsmens' plans are still in play. For all her protestations about leaving Jhiral on the throne Archeth is going to be mightily pissed off when she finds out what he has done to her lover in her absence... It's in keeping with the spirit of the trilogy as it leaves it ambiguous as to if Archeth will usher in the golden age that the Helmsmen are trying to bring about or just be the cause of yet more wars. | |

Empathic Weapon | |
| A Land Fit for Heroes / int_b7e1dcc8 | comment |
Empathic Weapon: Implied and then made explicit with Kiriath weapons. Archeth makes clear that it's a form of Magic from Technology. | |

Superpowerful Genetics: Ringil is a descendant of the Dwenda race through his mother's side. He inherited a portion of their speed and looks, while his mother likely has some degree of longevity - she's known for looking younger than people decades her junior. | |

Manchurian Agent: One of the Imperial marines, Sergeant Shahn, is actually a dwenda who erased his own memory to become a sleeper agent. This would allow him to get close to Archeth Indamaninarnal, and if certain conditions were met he would awaken to his true identity and assassinate her. | |

Named Weapons | |
| A Land Fit for Heroes / int_ef2582c3 | comment |
Named Weapons: Kiriath blades tend to have names. Archeth's knives are named "Bandgleam", "Falling Angel", "Laughing Girl", "Quarterless", and "Wraithslayer". Ringil's sword is named "I am Welcomed in the Home of Ravens and Other Scavengers in the Wake of Warriors, I am Friend to Carrion Crows and Wolves, I am Carry Me, and Kill with Me, and Die with Me where the Road Ends, I am not the Honeyed Promise of Length of Life in Years to Come, I am the Iron Promise of Never Being a Slave"; though he usually calls it "Ravensfriend" for short. | |
