P. C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath High Fantasy series consists of 9 novels so far, as well as several related short stories. God Stalk (1982) Dark of the Moon (1985) Seeker's Mask (1994) To Ride a Rathorn (2006) Bound in Blood (2010) Honor's Paradox (2011) The Sea of Time (2014) The Gates of Tagmeth (2017) By Demons Possessed (2019) Deathless Gods (2022) Blood and Ivory: A Tapestry (collection) (2002)They follow Jame, a young woman of the non-human Kencyr people with an uncertain past who attracts disaster and destruction seemingly by her very existence. She's a catlike, acrobatic Action Girl with, she soon discovers, extraordinary ability in unarmed combat and dances that seem to have a hypnotic, magical effect on the watcher.In the first book, God Stalk, she takes cautious root in the great city of Tai-tastigon, where she joins the Thieves' Guild, learns more about her people, experiments with the nature of divinity, and in general finds herself. The second book, Dark of the Moon, sees Jame setting about finding her long-separated twin brother and their people, and along the road learning much more of what she is and her place in the long tragedy of their history. The third book, Seeker's Mask, finds Jame almost destroyed from trying to fit into the cage her people expect her to live in, and breaking out and, painfully, finding a new place. The following books, To Ride a Rathorn, Bound in Blood, and Honor's Paradox have her taking on and learning the responsibilities and duties attached to a Military Academy and the world. The Sea of Time follows the next stage of her training, in the field. There is also a short story collection, Blood and Ivory, where the short stories mainly fill in the world and its background. Several of these are now regarded as non-canonical.The series manages to be simultaneously Trope Overdosed and full of fantasy clichés and yet packed with imagination, new ideas, and twists on the ones we're used to. Hodgell tosses ideas casually into the story that could be the basis for whole novels from another author, but here are just little details of the setting. While other writers have people who perform magic, Hodgell's whole world is magical down to the core of its nature, and full of wonders to discover.While the series is sometimes incredibly gloomy, it is also, at times, hilariously funny. Both the author and her characters manage to see absurdity in even the darkest places, and Jame, always a very physical heroine, is a rich source of slapstick physical comedy as well as wry thoughts.These books have had a spotty and very drawn-out publication history and have been hard to find, leading to a small, cultish fanbase; recently, though, she's been picked up by Baen Books and the older books have been re-released, including ebook formats.

Kill the God: Jame killed a little rain god named Gorgo one. Although honestly, he was really weak at the time, so it didn't take much. She later feels bad and saves him.

Dream Walker
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_1226f314
comment
Dream Walker: Sharing dreams is reasonably common among the Kencyrath, and Jame shares dreams with both Torisen and Timmon. Timmon is able to control the dreams much more than Jame or Torisen can. He keeps trying to design Erotic Dreams for him and Jame, but she always makes the dreams either non-erotic or non-Timmon.

Fake First Kiss
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_14098d74
comment
Fake First Kiss: Jame and Tori's kiss, in a magical house, outside of time, in the middle of a volcanic eruption—sounds like a Big Damn Kiss. But then Tori freaks out and runs away, and proceeds to pretend it never happened. Jame goes along with him on that out of tact. (And while it's not really a dream or alternative reality, it's in a magical house that kind of makes it feel like it is, which makes it easier to pretend it wasn't quite real.)

Crashing Through the Harem: Invoked by Adriana—she gives Torisen an aphrodisiac and sets him in the women's halls. Deconstructed, because he's chased by a horde of women who might rape him, and a 7-year-old asks him to marry her.

 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_14c791fb
comment
Conflicting Loyalty: So many; after all, this is what "honor's paradox" is all about. Jame and Torisen especially seem to cause this a lot, because they are so personable as to sway many whose loyalty is to lords opposed to the Knorth. Many Randir are also torn by this—see Enemy Civil War below.

 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_154aa477
comment
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Technically, the entire Kencyrath can be described as this. The Randir and the Caineron are probably the worst, being rife with corruption and in-fighting, but the Ardeth has plenty as well. The Knorth would easily qualify if they hadn't been so screwed up earlier that they near managed to destroy themselves (though they did have outside help).

comment
Ensign Newbie: Jame, Gorbel, and Timmon, in To Ride a Rathorn. Despite being the randon cadet with probably the least military knowledge in the whole school, Jame is appointed Master Ten of her house's cadets (approx 90 cadets) due to her status, and has absolutely no idea what to do, or even where to start. Gorbel has some command experience when he is put in the same position, but no one takes him seriously, since he's "obviously" there as a political statement from his father. Timmon is the most capable and experienced, but has an attitude problem: he doesn't listen to his subordinates at all, and evades all "un-fun" stuff.

Genre Shift: The first book, God Stalk, reads as Low Fantasy, and the larger High Fantasy plot only really starts to be noticeable in the second book, Dark of the Moon. Some readers didn't like the change.

 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_17b7ab65
comment
Torisen is trying his very best to be a good lord, but he's very aware that being a Universally Beloved Leader is impossible because it's not about being a good ruler, it's about whose interests you serve—and no matter what he does, half other half of the Kencyr are going to hate him.

Title Drop: God Stalk, in "Chapter 13: Three Pyres": Dark of the Moon, in "Chapter 7: A Rage of Rathorns": Seeker's Mask, in Chapter 6: To Ride a Rathorn, in "Chapter 5: A Length of Rope": Bound in Blood, twice: In chapter "Chapter 10: Noontide Ghosts": "Chapter 13: A Day in the Life": Honor's Paradox, the paradox inherent in the Kencyr definition of honor is mentioned several times. (In short, disobedience is dishonorable, but what if the order is to perform a dishonorable act? The rules have no exceptions, leaving the Kencyr in such a situation caught between two different dishonorable acts and thus without escape except, perhaps, for suicide.) The Sea of Time, in "Chapter 9: Into the Wastes": The short story "Among the Dead" has two cases: The first: The second:

In Seeker's Mask, Caldane tries to rape Brier. He's trying to exercise his Highborn power on her—she's a Knorth by that point, but still of Caineron descent , and he still probably has some power over her. Jame goes berserker flare on his ass and sends him over the rail (though he doesn't die)

Poor Communication Kills
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Averted, though not for lack of trying. Because all the Knorth women were killed off before he was born, Tori has not had any advisors to guide him through the treacherous shoals of Women's Mysteries. A particular case in point has to do with the ransom of the death-banner (and also the soul) of Aerulan to the Brandan house. Tori did not want to accept the money Brandan offered, not wanting to profit by Aerulan's death. However, he did not understand (for there was no one to tell him) that refusal to do so would dishonor Aerulan (by saying she has no value) in the eyes of those who love her. (Such as Brenwyr, the curse-flinging maledict.) This ends up resulting in Jame getting cursed by Brenwyr and a lot of unnecessary strife and ill will. In Bound in Blood, the crop failure caused by the volcanic eruption in To Ride a Rathorn forces Tori to relent so that his people do not starve—though not before another misunderstanding results in Brenwyr cursing him. Fortunately, it seems Tori is more or less curse-proof—though his clothing isn't.

Our Nudity Is Different
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_1c45d4d7
comment
Our Nudity Is Different: Generally, Kencyr slightly are more ok with nudity than humans in the West. Characters loose their clothing on a semi-regular basis, a la Naked People Are Funny. At Tentir, the kids all swim naked in front of each other with no problem. The exception to this rule is Highborn women, and particularly their faces. Highborn women constantly wear masks. The idea is that it conceals the lady's facial expressions—emotions are very personal after all. Highborn women going barefaced is really shocking, and when Jane starts at Tentir, many of her classmates are too embarrassed to look her in the face.

Alternative Calendar
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_1d47dc06
comment
Alternative Calendar: An appendix to God Stalk describes the Tastigon calendar, which appears to generally be in use everywhere. The year is 360 days plus one intercalary day, the Feast of Fools, which is not counted or shown on any calendar. Weeks are ten days long, and the seasons are not of equal length; summer and winter are 120 days each, while spring and autumn are only 60 days. The Kencyr count years from their arrival on Rathillien, just over 3,000 years ago.

We ARE Struggling Together: This series is absolutely rife with it. Let's list the conflicts, from largest to smallest: The whole of Rathillien has an interest in not being overrun by the Perimal Darkling. ...but on Rathillien there's struggles and tensions between the native people of Rathillien and the Kencyrath. ...but within the Kencyrath there's struggles and tensions between Kendar and Highborn. The Arrin-ken would be a third side, if they hadn't already decided Screw This, I'm Outta Here. ...but within the Kencyrath there's struggles and tensions between the various houses. ...but within the Randir there's struggles and tensions between two factions. ...but within the Ardeth there's struggles and tensions over power and the next lord. ...but within the Knorth, there's struggles and tensions between Torisen and Jame. ...but both of them are also struggling with their own hearts, battling their inner demons.

My Master, Right or Wrong: This trope makes up one of the important themes running through the books and referred to as "Honor's Paradox": What do you do if you are ordered to do something dishonorable? Made explicit in the opening chapter of Seeker's Mask, when Jame badly flummoxes a young instructor and her class with the tale of Jamethiel's fall from grace.

Low Fantasy: Although the overall structure of the series is High Fantasy, God Stalk, the first book, is a Low Fantasy introduction to the heroine with a fair degree of foreshadowing of the larger plot to come. The Genre Shift in the second book alienated some readers, although many Low Fantasy traits remain, including many gray shades of morality.

Halfway though the first book, Jame gets drunk at what soon proves to be a very inconvenient time, and almost fails all her friends because of it.

Cryptic Background Reference: Part of the charm of God Stalk is that Jame knows much of the history of the Kencyrath and occasionally makes oblique references to it, but does not elaborate on it, presumably because she already knows it. This is slowly being expanded upon in the later books.

Marc combines type 2 and 5, the Gentle Giant and the Genius Bruiser. Strengthens his gentle giant style by feigning berserker rage, so that he doesn't have to fight.

comment
Asleep for Days: At the very beginning of God Stalk, Jame's arm is haunt-infected, and she spends her first 13 days at the Res aB'tyrr in dwar sleep, healing. At the time it seems like a plot-device, but later on, you get a better sense of dwar sleep, and it makes more sense—and becomes clear how extreme 13 days is, and that that's is the outer limit of what's possible.

Thoroughly Mistaken Identity: Adric starts mistaking his grandson Timmon for his son (and Timmon's father) Pereden, in a sign that senility may be catching up with him. His warleader, Aden Smooth-face, does the same thing, mistaking Timmon for Pereden, and Jame for Timmon's mother, Distan—again, it is a sign of losing his mind.

 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_3e157a10
comment
Twincest: In earlier times when Highborn were trying to breed Tyr-ridan, Half Identical Twin marriage was especially valuable for this since it reinforced traits so strongly in offspring. But because Gerridon and Jamethiel were twins, twincest now has some mixed connotations. Gerridon and Jamethiel are a Subverted case of Villainous Incest. They're twins, consorts, and the most infamous people in the entire history of the Kencyrath. But what at first looks like obviously Villainous Incest slowly gets subverted, as the reader learns about the tradition of inbreeding, and the way incest is seen in Kencyr culture. Gerridon and Jamethiel's incest is never portrayed as wrong—it was the Fall that made them evil; their incest was morally neutral. And by the time the protagonists start getting incestuous as well, there's no doubt it has been subverted. Jame and Tori are a case in the making. They have UST, including various fantasies, an Erotic Dream or two, and a Big Damn Kiss Mother Ragga's house in To Ride a Rathorn (though Tori's emotions and his issues—his fear of and jealousy of Jame, among others—get in the way, and he runs away). The two of them dance together and obvious magical sexual power builds between them. After everything that happened with Gerridon and Jamethiel, Jame wonders at one point if anyone knew they were twins, would they throw them together, or never let them meet again.

Body Surf: Bane in Seeker's Mask. Primarily because possessed bodies slowly fall apart in the riding. Partly because it amuses him. In Bound in Blood, The Burned Man rides the body of an unfortunate Merikit ceremony participant until he crumbles to ash. Indicated to be a favorite technique of Rawneth, Matriarch of Randir. She sometimes lets go before riding her mount to death.

Jame is constantly mistaken for a boy. Her one feminine feature is long hair, but it's normally hidden under a cap. She's flat chested and skinny and doesn't eat enough. She's also officially or legally regarded as male a bunch of times. She gets mistaken constantly for her twin brother, too (though that has a lot more to do with them being Half-Identical Twins, and it's inverted in Bound in Blood when Tori is mistaken a couple of times for her.)

Love Dodecahedron: When they were young, the previous generation was a mess of this. Ganth and Trishien liked each other, but Ganth's father Parental Marriage Vetoed it. Ganth's brother Greshan liked Rawneth—who didn't really like him so much as she wanted to marry him for political power, but they suited each other very well anyways. Greshan's grandma Grandparental Marriage Vetoed it. Their father tried to marry Ganth to Rawneth, but that didn't really go anywhere. Greshan was killed, and Rawneth tried to raise him from the dead, and even got his father to approve their marriage under those conditions. But she ended up getting Bed Tricked by a different undead. Meanwhile, Ganth fell in Love at First Sight with Jamethiel, and next to her, Trishien couldn't hold up. Jamethiel eventually became his consort, but was her brother's consort for 3,000 years before that. Also, their half-brother Tirandys loved Jamethiel too, but was only ever unrequited in that regard. Jamethiel's own feelings for any of them are highly ambiguous.

Women's Mysteries
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_476a08e3
comment
Averted, though not for lack of trying. Because all the Knorth women were killed off before he was born, Tori has not had any advisors to guide him through the treacherous shoals of Women's Mysteries. A particular case in point has to do with the ransom of the death-banner (and also the soul) of Aerulan to the Brandan house. Tori did not want to accept the money Brandan offered, not wanting to profit by Aerulan's death. However, he did not understand (for there was no one to tell him) that refusal to do so would dishonor Aerulan (by saying she has no value) in the eyes of those who love her. (Such as Brenwyr, the curse-flinging maledict.) This ends up resulting in Jame getting cursed by Brenwyr and a lot of unnecessary strife and ill will.

Fire Purifies/Kill It with Fire: Fire is one of the few reliable ways to kill corrupted beings like Haunts and Changers, and usually the most practical. Also, until the body of a Kendar or Highborn is burned, their spirit is bound to the world although we find in books three and four that the blood in death banners bind those Highborn and Kendar so immortalized, until the death banner itself is burnt.

Bear is a type 1 big guy, but with the gruff, scarred, and withdrawn traits taken to extremes. The entire house of the Coman, and maybe Brandan as well.

Unresolved Sexual Tension
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_50ca4422
comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Two interesting examples in which someone is attracted to the person who represents or manifests a part of themselves—a darker part of themselves that they have issues with. The UST in both cases represents a part of themselves that pulls at them, but which they think it would be wrong to embrace. All the way through God Stalk, Jame and Bane seen on the verge of Slap-Slap-Kiss. He's Jame's Shadow Archetype, and her attraction to him is symbolic of the darker side of her own nature, which draws her, but which she is determined not to give in to. Jame and Torisen's UST is symbolic of Torisen's struggle with self-acceptance. The story plays with the idea of twins as foils, mirrors, other halves of each other. They have a lot of issues—Torisen's fear of Jame, jealousy of her, and fear of his own attraction, among others. One of the biggest issues, though, is that Jame is Shanir, and more importantly, so is Torisen, but he denies it. She reminds him of this, and that's what really bothers him—much more than how this trait is present in her, but how it's present in himself. He can't be her lover until he accepts her—and he can't do that until he accepts himself.

 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_55b1f9a1
comment
Easy Amnesia: Jame enters the first book at the approximate age of 19 not remembering a thing since her father cast her out of his keep to die at age 7. However, all of the skills she learned during that time remain. Over the course of five books so far, some details of that time have floated to the surface, but most of it still remains hidden to her. It's likely that magical/supernatural reasons are behind the amnesia, and it may or may not have been deliberately caused; we are left wondering what other secrets are hidden in her past, and what might have been done to her mind.

The Teetotaler: Halfway though the first book, Jame gets drunk at what soon proves to be a very inconvenient time, and almost fails all her friends because of it. After that, she vows to herself never to get drunk again. She keeps this promise for the next five books, until the night of her Shotgun Wedding—at which point she says screw it and gets very drunk. Brier doesn't drink because she's disciplined and badass. This serves to make her breakdown in The Sea of Time when she's drunk (thought not by choice) a case of O.O.C. Is Serious Business.

Single-Target Sexuality
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_5f49ac76
comment
Timmon's parents Pereden and Distan were half-siblings. They seem to have been pretty happy together—Distan loved him, to the point of Single-Target Sexuality. He Really Got Around though, and that still clearly hurts her, even after his death.

Parental Incest
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_606244c2
comment
Parental Incest: When you've lost one parent, and you very closely resemble said late parent, and the surviving parent completely adored the lost parent, it gets... weird. Jame looks just like her mother, as well as sharing many of her Shanir traits. Her mother vanished. This leads to her heartbroken father kissing her once... and then punching a wall and storming out, because Defied Tropes. Timmon looks just like his father, as well as sharing many of his Shanir traits. His father died. In The Gates of Tagmeth, he tells Jame that he sometimes wakes to find his mother in his bed.

Parental Issues
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_60b03a94
comment
Parental Issues: Almost too many to list, but here's a start. Jame's Missing Mom nearly soul-ripped her when they finally met, and committed suicide to avoid doing so. Her father first came close to raping her, and then drove her off, nearly killed her, and did kill her nanny Winter when her shanir traits expressed themselves. Torisen also had that Missing Mom, and then his father apparently tried to blood-bound him. He did manage to inject a malignant piece of his soul into Torisen. Kindrie's mother died at or close after his birth, and he was believed to be a bastard, in a society where that is a major stigma. In reality, there were a legitimate marriage-contract for his birth, but his father was the Big Bad of the entire series. Shade has a half-changer for a father. Timmon's father was a traitor and known for his womanising ways (that bordered or were mind-rape). His mother is extremely status-conscious and domineering.

Later it's reversed, with Jame and Torisen in Mother Ragga's lodge, just after their Big Damn Kiss. Before it was Timmon asking her to stay, and now it's both the roles and the framing have been inverted, with her offering to stay with Tori… but like the other examples, no actual staying takes place. Tori bolts.

Replacement Goldfish: Torisen and Marc spend most of Dark of the Moon taking care of each other's little sisters—in both cases, sisters they lost when they were young. It wasn't either of the faults, but both were unable to prevent it, and they've both spent most of their life since then feeling vaguely guilty about it. When he finally has to give Willow up, Torisen admits that it's not really about her—a dead child he never knew—but about Jame, as the little girl she was when Ganth drove her out. It's implied that there's some of the same on Marc's side.

Author Appeal: It's pretty obvious P. C. Hodgell likes cats. It's most prominent in the first book, where both the Res aB'tyrr and Skyrrman have cats (Boo and Fang respectively), Jame gets Jorin, and then the Arrin-ken—the most awesome Kencyr—are giant cats. After that things tone down a bit.

Planet of Hats: More like "Family of Hats", in that the different houses all seem to have particular stereotypes and personalities associated with them. Justified because the reigning Lord and/or Matriarch seems to stamp his or her personality to an extent onto all of their followers (and there are definitely exceptions). The Ardeth are (basically) well-meaning Chessmasters The Brandan are The Reliable Ones The Caineron are Royal Brats The Coman are Coattail Riding Relatives of the Caineron The Danior are Impoverished Patricians The Edirr are Fun Personified The Jaran are Absent-Minded Scholars The Knorth are Royally Screwed Up The Randir are Manipulative Bastards

Meaningful Name: P.C. Hodgell has said in interviews that she often comes up with names this way, by thinking of a quality the character has and finding words to suit it, sometimes shifting them slightly to make a better name: Bane—Very appropriate given the darkness of his nature, and what happens with his soul. He's Jame's dark shadow throughout the first novel, and some later on. Brier Iron-thorn—appropriate given her solid strength and prickly exterior. Burr—Torisen can't shake him off. Kindrie—kind. Perimal Darkling—the surrounding evil darkness.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Several cases, in varying degrees of prominence It's mentioned Theocandi doesn't think much of female thieves. Bortis is a complete sexist jerkass Caldane, in both his treatment of women and Kendar. Nidling, the briefly-occurring Noyat chief, proves himself to be a villain this way. Ganth's a bit misogynistic. But unlike the others on this list, thought, it's not the only thing he is. And it's also more Justified: Jamethiel really did a number on him.

Morality Kitchen Sink: There's shades of Black-and-White Morality in the conflict between Perimal Darkling, but while that conflict hangs over the whole story, it's not really very present. Much more present conflicts include the tensions between the Kendar and Highborn, power struggles between the houses, tensions between the Kencyrath and the native people of Rathillien, tensions between Jame and Torisen, and—always—the struggles between our protagonists and their own inner demons.

There's the interesting and recurring pattern of Kencyr duos with Belligerent Sexual Tension fighting using the Senethar, and then it morphing into dancing the Senetha. (And then sometimes, back to the Senethar again!) It's happens in God Stalk with Jame/Bane, To Ride a Rathorn with Jame/Timmon, Honor's Paradox with Jame/Torisen, and The Sea of Time with Brier/Amberley.

Brother–Sister Incest
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_771f6307
comment
Brother–Sister Incest: Shanir powers were historically bred for by pairing close relatives because inbreeding is the best way to produce powerful Shanir, and they were trying to breed the Chosen Three. Twincest was particularly favored for this. Because of Gerridon and Jamethiel's infamy, they've mostly stopped inbreeding since the Fall—although the Ardeth still do. But because of the old tradition, the Kencyrath now see incest as—at worst—a bad idea, not creepy or immoral. Twins and consorts Jamethiel and Gerridon, of course (see Twincest below). Jame has UST with both her brothers. All the way through God Stalk, Jame and Bane seem on the verge of Slap-Slap-Kiss. They never quite do. There's shades of Surprise Incest here too, because it's not revealed that they're half-siblings until after the Forceful Kiss. Jame and Torisen are in the UST stage now, but seem on track to become an Official Couple eventually (see Twincest below). Timmon's parents Pereden and Distan were half-siblings. They seem to have been pretty happy together—Distan loved him, to the point of Single-Target Sexuality. He Really Got Around though, and that still clearly hurts her, even after his death. A non-consensual case is Greshan, who raped his little brother Ganth when they were young. Ganth told their father, who didn't believe him. It mentally and emotionally scarred Ganth for life. Tiggeri had his eye on his bastard half-sister Must ever since she was little, and he eventually raped her.

comment
Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Book Bound in Pale Leather is an unusual example: it was given to the Kencyrath by their god, and so is one of their holiest relics, but in all other ways it fits the trope. It's full of deep, dark magic that is extremely dangerous to use; just reading too much of it can drive you mad or kill you. Only the original exists; the one time anybody tried to copy it, he got only partway through before it fried his mind and then his body. Oh, and that leather? Human skin, and the Book appears to be alive; dropping it gives it bruises.

Jame and Tori are a case in the making. They have UST, including various fantasies, an Erotic Dream or two, and a Big Damn Kiss Mother Ragga's house in To Ride a Rathorn (though Tori's emotions and his issues—his fear of and jealousy of Jame, among others—get in the way, and he runs away). The two of them dance together and obvious magical sexual power builds between them. After everything that happened with Gerridon and Jamethiel, Jame wonders at one point if anyone knew they were twins, would they throw them together, or never let them meet again.

They are also both masculine or androgynous after a fashion, making them a Bifauxnen and Lad-ette duo.

Tightrope Walking: Jame has excellent balance and training in Le Parkour, and frequently ropewalks. The Kendar companions, however, often has a great fear of heights despite having great balance.

The Chosen One: Or rather, the Chosen Three: the Tyr-ridan. It is implied that there have been other potential Tyr-ridan earlier, but that they've been un-balanced, missing one or more of the roles.

Arc Number
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_9203bf6
comment
Arc Number: Three, and multiples of three, are a recurring motif of the Kencyrath. The Kencyr creator deity is the Three-Faced God, personifying respectively creation (Torrigon), preservation (Argentiel) and destruction (Regonoreth). The Tyr-ridan and three Objects of Power are each aligned with one of the faces too. The Kencyrath are sometimes called the Three People because they're made up of three races: Highborn, Kendar and Arrin-ken. Three professional colleges: the Scrollsmen's College, the Priests' College and the Randon College. Multiples of three: Nine (3x3) great houses whose lords comprise the High Council. Nine temples to the Three-Faced God built across Rathillien. Twenty-seven (3x3x3) is the age at which a Highborn Kencyr comes of age.

Betty and Veronica
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_94e4c8ab
comment
Betty and Veronica: Jame is prone to becoming the Veronica in pseudo-love triangles. Narsa believes Jame to be the exotic, mysterious, unattainable Veronica, who distracts Timmon from her, the unexceptional Kendar Betty who actually loves him. Within the story, Narsa's the only one of the three of them who thinks it's a love triangle at all. Hatch thinks Jame is the exciting, exotic Veronica to Prid, while he—her cousin and Dogged Nice Guy—is the Betty. Prid's own feeling are rather ambiguous, but she seems to kind of like both Hatch and Jame.

Enchanted Forest: Several examples. The Anarchies swallows most of a brigand band. The Weald. Contains the Wolvers, and has been known to swallow up armies and hunting parties without a trace. The heart of the wood outside Hurlen. The confrontation with the Changers involves mysterious mists, vegetation that eats the fallen Changers, and of course the crystal Imus. ... most of the woods in Rathillien have a smidge of it.

Kindrie's mother died at or close after his birth, and he was believed to be a bastard, in a society where that is a major stigma. In reality, there were a legitimate marriage-contract for his birth, but his father was the Big Bad of the entire series.

Invulnerable Horses (Averted): Averted, especially in the mounted combat at the end of Honor's Paradox; Death's-head finds attacking the opposing horses more productive than the riders; they scare more easily and provide bigger targets. Several die, almost all the others are wounded.

White Stallion: Death's-head is a white (albino) rathorn stallion, and Jame riding such a beast into battle is definitely this trope. In a twist on the trope, her other mount, the whinno-hir Bel-tairi, is a white mare, but still fulfills the requirements of the trope.

Fantasy World Map
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_a139f52b
comment
Fantasy World Map: Drawn Tolkien-style (by the author), too. Not a Left-Justified Fantasy Map, though; the oceans are on the east and south. Seems to make at least some geographical sense, so not a Patchwork Map. A depiction of this map in stained glass is important in Seekers Mask (Jame shatters it) and Bound in Blood (Marc learns glassworking to rebuild it). Authorial discussion suggests that in a later book the act of repairing this map brings home to Mother Ragga and other characters just how much of Rathillien has already been lost to Perimal Darkling when Ragga discovers there are parts of Rathillien she can no longer reach. The forging of which is detailed from the author's experience as a stained-glass artist herself. The map happens to be largely circular, but this is intentional; Perimal Darkling has swallowed up much of the world, leaving only a slice of it still free.

In Bound in Blood, the crop failure caused by the volcanic eruption in To Ride a Rathorn forces Tori to relent so that his people do not starve—though not before another misunderstanding results in Brenwyr cursing him.

Cool Sword Kin-Slayer, the Knorth heirloom sword. If wielded by someone wearing the Knorth signet ring, it cuts through flesh and armor like butter. If the bearer isn't wearing the ring, it's just a large, somewhat unwieldy sword. The Scythe-arms manage to combine the Dual Wielding, Blade Below the Shoulder, and Double Weapon tropes. Not surprisingly, training with them easily dissolves into chaos.

Roof Hopping: with echos of Le Parkour, this is Jame's favorite way of getting around Tai-tastigon. Incredibly physically able, with a dancer's physique and an expert level of martial arts training, Jame's quite up to the task. There's a gang, the Cloudies, who are reputed to live their entire lives from birth to death without setting foot on the streets. Jame's master manages to do Roof Hopping in places where roofs no longer exist.

Fate Worse than Death
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_b1346878
comment
Fate Worse than Death/Soul Jar: Kencyr can ask another to hold their soul for them. The primary reason one would perform such an act is to allow a newly-soulless warrior to commit dishonorable acts without actually being responsible for them in the afterlife, as his soul had nothing to do with them, and he is expected to commit suicide as penance when his soul is restored (or to be physically killed by the sinless soul and sinful body mutually annihilating). As a secondary effect, it makes the Highborn very very hard to kill. When asked why it's a bad thing, Jame dryly notes that it's a good idea to allow for death as an option. This is very graphically depicted in the death of Bane on the Mercy Seat. Normally, people on the Mercy Seat only survive so long into the flaying and dismemberment. When you can't die…

Operation: Jealousy
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_b6caa5b4
comment
Operation: Jealousy: Thoroughly Deconstructed at Tentir (through To Ride a Rathron, Bound in Blood, and Honor's Paradox). Timmon likes Jame, and Jame kind of likes Timmon too. But she likes Tori more, and Timmon can be a dick sometimes, so she's not really interested in getting together with him. So Timmon launches Operation Jealousy and gets with Narsa. It actually does work—Jame, much to her annoyance, is a little jealous. But she's not jealous enough to actually do anything about it, and she's annoyed at Timmon for pulling this. Meanwhile, it turns out Narsa is a Clingy Jealous Girl, and furious and heartbroken over her role in all of this. She tries to kill Jame, and later, after Timmon gets her pregnant, kills herself.

Real Women Don't Wear Dresses
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_c099ca1a
comment
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Tori definitely thinks so. The traditionally feminine matriarchs drive him up the wall, but he greatly respects his non-traditionally feminine female friends like Rowan and Kirien. The starkest case of it is the contrast between how he sees Kallystine and Jame. Kallystine—traditionally very feminine—is his consort... who he hates and mistrusts (and rightly so). She manages to seduce him anyways, but it's implied that she had to use love potions to do it. Then there's Jame—who comes across as androgynous to the readers, and downright masculine to many in-universe—who he's genuinely attracted to.

Subverted Trope
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_c145f69b
comment
Gerridon and Jamethiel are a Subverted case of Villainous Incest. They're twins, consorts, and the most infamous people in the entire history of the Kencyrath. But what at first looks like obviously Villainous Incest slowly gets subverted, as the reader learns about the tradition of inbreeding, and the way incest is seen in Kencyr culture. Gerridon and Jamethiel's incest is never portrayed as wrong—it was the Fall that made them evil; their incest was morally neutral. And by the time the protagonists start getting incestuous as well, there's no doubt it has been subverted.

Academy of Adventure: Several Tentir, the Kencyr Military Academy. The scholars' and singers' academy, Mount Alban, which goes wandering the weirdingstrom in Seeker's Mask (to the delight of the bevy of scholars aboard). In the Alternate Universe short story "Child of Darkness", the university Jame Talissen and the others attend. (These first two might also qualify as Schools For Scheming.)

comment
Magic Dance: The Kencyr ritual dance, the Senetha, is magically powerful; the energies of a Kencyr temple are channeled through dance, and magic can be performed thereby. Jamethiel Dream-Weaver reaped the souls of two-thirds of the Kencyr Host through dance during the Fall, and Jame shows the same level of ability.

Series Continuity Error
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: Given that the author has stated she has a profound dislike of rereading her older works, for a story this complicated and written over so long a period it is only surprising there are not more continuity errors. In the first chapter of the first book, Jame tells Penari her name is "Jame Talissen." (The name is also used in the non-canonical earlier short story, "Child of Darkness.") After that, the name is dropped and never mentioned again. Rawneth is Kenan, Lord Randir's grandmother in Seeker's Mask and his mother in To Ride a Rathorn. Dari's place in the Ardeth family isn't stable either. At first he's called Timmon's cousin, making him the son of one of Adric's older sons, who died in the White Hills. Later he's called Ardeth's son himself. In The Sea of Time, Kedan (Kirien's great-uncle and current regent lord) is called Jedrak (the name of her great-great-grandfather and the previous Lord Jaran). This is cleverly retconned in The Gates of Tagmeth, saying that all Jaran rulers take the name "Jedrak" when they are in office. In Bound in Blood, Prid mentions her sisters, but in The Gates of Tagmeth, she says she's always wanted a sister, implying she doesn't have any.

comment
A depiction of this map in stained glass is important in Seekers Mask (Jame shatters it) and Bound in Blood (Marc learns glassworking to rebuild it). Authorial discussion suggests that in a later book the act of repairing this map brings home to Mother Ragga and other characters just how much of Rathillien has already been lost to Perimal Darkling when Ragga discovers there are parts of Rathillien she can no longer reach. The forging of which is detailed from the author's experience as a stained-glass artist herself.

No Periods, Period
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_d0bf8a6d
comment
No Periods, Period: The novels covering several years of Jame's life, absolutely no mention. Justified in that Highborn women are able to control conception at will, and possibly the entire menstrual and reproductive cycle; thus, there may be no periods because Jame doesn't have them. Another possibility is that she's not physically mature enough yet; she showed no interest in or sexual attraction to anyone until the fourth novel, and while she's about twenty or twenty-one, she's not considered adult until she's twenty-seven; Kencyr Highborn live long and mature slowly. In chapter 3, part 2 of Seeker's Mask, a Caineron captain comments on a bloodied piece of cloth that Jame held as "That time of month, is it?" In Bound in Blood, the fifth book, a Kendar woman is shown with menstrual bleeding.

comment
Additional common elements as listed on the High Fantasy page: Artifact of Doom, Cool Horse, Cool Sword, Rightful King Returns, Mordor, and prophecy all play major parts in this series. There's no Quest, yet; that's the missing piece; any quests there have been have been smaller and more personal. Well, there is the "Defeat Perimal Darkling" Quest, however in order for that to happen the Three-Faces-of-God need to manifest, and in order for that to happen the three meant to manifest need to go through some character development, and in order for that to happen smaller personal quests need to happen… so everything that happens is working on that prophecy we read in book one.

Played straight with Ganth, because his reign ended with him getting huge numbers of his own people killed in the White Hills, and then him getting upset and running away like an angry toddler.

Otherwise, it's mostly averted with the present lords—which kind of implies that Ganth might be a bit of a case of Historical Villain Upgrade.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: Jame often defeats armed foes bare-handed and is initially not keen on blades at all. Later, she develops more of a taste for them and wears a knife-fighter's jacket and boot knife. She still does not like swords, until Bound in Blood, when she finds a bladed weapon she can think of as extensions of her own claws.

Otherwise, it's mostly averted with the present lords—which kind of implies that Ganth might be a bit of a case of Historical Villain Upgrade. The current lords have followers with a mix of opinions on them. Torisen is trying his very best to be a good lord, but he's very aware that being a Universally Beloved Leader is impossible because it's not about being a good ruler, it's about whose interests you serve—and no matter what he does, half other half of the Kencyr are going to hate him. Meanwhile, despite the Enemy Civil War, many Randir are fanatically loyal to Rawneth. None of Caldane's Kendar really seem to like him, but they are basically loyal to him. His Highborn family members tend to either love him or hate him.

Oh, My Gods!: Lots of fantastic god-invoking exclamations from the Kencyr. Common ones in the series are "God's teeth!"

"Trinity!" is one of Jame's favorites, too, referring to all aspects of their triune God.

Meanwhile, despite the Enemy Civil War, many Randir are fanatically loyal to Rawneth.

Capture the Flag: The Winter War has some variations, but it's very similar to capture the flag

Fictional Holiday
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_f609fcfe
comment
Fictional Holiday: Those generally celebrated appear to be the turning points of the seasons and the solstices, placed exactly halfway in the longer winter and summer seasons. Tastigons, the Kencyrath, and Kothifirans all celebrate the intercalary day (see Alternative Calendar above); in Tai-tastigon it is called the Feast of Fools, and is a Saturnalia-like orgy of excess and freedom, while in Tentir, the Kencyr military academy, it is called the Day of Misrule, where the normal rules of Tentir are suspended and anyone who grabs the scarf from around a cadet's or officer's neck can command them. The Tastigons also celebrate (or fear) the Feast of Dead Gods, which occurs during the night after Autumn's Eve.

Attempted Rape
 Chronicles of the Kencyrath / int_f85354eb
comment
Attempted Rape: On several occasions In God Stalk, Niggen tries to rape Kithra, and Jame stops him, knocking out some of his teeth. It leads to Kithra having a bit of a crush on Jame. In Seeker's Mask, Caldane tries to rape Brier. He's trying to exercise his Highborn power on her—she's a Knorth by that point, but still of Caineron descent , and he still probably has some power over her. Jame goes berserker flare on his ass and sends him over the rail (though he doesn't die) Very cleverly Subverted during the Winter War in Bound in Blood. Timmon pulls a convincing Entitled to Have You moment and pretends to try to rape Jame—so he can tackle her without her realizing he's trying to steal her flag. He grabs it and runs off. In The Sea of Time, when Jame's ten-command goes into the Southern Wastes, one of the caravan drives tries to rape Damson. Damson, being a randon cadet, breaks his leg. Her ten-command shows up in a minute too. Later in The Sea of Time when Dar leads the ten-command in getting revenge on Amberley's ten-command, Mint almost gets raped. First Damson, then Brier, defend her.

The High King: The Kencyrath consists of several houses, each ruled by a lord who has a lot of power and autonomy in his own right. The leader of all the Kencyrath has the title "Highlord".

The Shadow Knows: Shadows show the state of a person's soul. Someone who has lost their soul will cast no shadow, and changers' shadows are very deformed.

There's a gang, the Cloudies, who are reputed to live their entire lives from birth to death without setting foot on the streets. Jame's master manages to do Roof Hopping in places where roofs no longer exist.

Shown Their Work: P. C. Hodgell knows her stuff, about both making stained glass (Marc becomes a stained glass artist) and horses (who start showing up prominently around book four). In the earlier books, Jame mentioned that she really needs to learn how to ride a horse properly. So Pat became an equestrian and bought her own horse... and one rather like Death's-head at that!
