Dragon Calling is a five-part High Fantasy/ adventure series written by Australian author/ illustrator N. R. Eccles-Smith. The story is set in the fictional world of Valadae and follows a young dragon named Laeka’Draeon on his quest to find the others of his kind. It contains the following books: Kin Seeker (2013)When Laeka'Draeon learns he is the last dragon left after the mysterious disappearance of his kin, he begins the daunting quest to find them, knowing their prolonged absence could ultimately destroy the balance of peace in the world. The Beacon Thrones (2014)In his quest to find the other dragons, Laeka'Draeon learns of an even greater threat to the lands than the strife caused by his missing kin. A terrible doom grows on Valadae's horizon, and the power to avert it resides in the mysterious Beacon Thrones, a power only a dragon can revive. Dual Destiny (2016)Laeka'Draeon and his companions continue their search for the Beacon Thrones and their guardians. But when one of his friends is captured by Trappers, Laeka'Draeon's actions lead to consequences that threaten to doom his quest to failure. The Sword of Stars (2018)The actions of enemies and allies are set to converge, but the greatest threat to Laeka'Draeon's journey may not lie from outside influences, but from within... The Last Calling (2020)Laeka'Draeon closes in on the mystery of the dragons' disappearance, but time is running out. The final fight to save Valadae looms. Klonnoth Aire must be restored and the dragons found at all costs. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Dragon Calling / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Though Norf and Ubi are frequently at odds due to their cultural differences, the narrow escapes and brushes with death reveal snippets of their true admiration and care for each other (without any romantic angles). A particularly poignant moment is when, with Ubi trapped and sinking into Az-Thorz’ enchanted bog, Norf resigns himself to death-by-drowning alongside her, rather than abandon her to die alone. | |

Dream Walker: Opal Eyes enters Laeka’Draeon’s mind in dreams as a way to communicate with him. The sphinx, Riine’tae, is an actual Dream Walker (in the series); her abilities being inherent (and very rare). She enters Laeka’Draeon’s dreams to sniff out his motives, but instead accidentally witnesses a Beacon Throne premonition. | |

Fantastic Light Source | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1350733b | comment |
Fantastic Light Source: Numerous examples including, bioluminescent plants and fungi in various areas (the cave leading to the Olmu Glade as well as inside the Olmu Tree), and luminous mineral veins and crystals (in the Deep Ways). Manna-stones are an energy source, used for lighting or activating mechanisms (prime example seen in the Deep Ways). Coron-Mias is one giant forest of petrified trees that perpetually glow due to having a direct link with one of the world’s manna veins. The Ludipis Field in Darks Whelm is bathed in some kind of energy that permeates everything so that nothing within the field casts a shadow. The chamber of the Beacon Throne of Darkness and Light is full of luminous crystalline formations. The floors within Koruhand'minokul have semi-transparent mineral obelisks that emit light. The walls and ceilings have long icicle-like projections, all of which give off a pervasive, pale-blue glow. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| Dragon Calling / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: The evaish are the equivalent of Valadae’s ‘elvish’ kind (as their name implies). They are ethereally beautiful, strange, and possess some inexplicable connection with the supernatural elements of the world (Coron-Mias, anyone?). Although humanoid, they possess little in the way of physical similarities to traditional elves, looking more along the vein of the Zoras from The Legend of Zelda franchise... if Zoras were modelled after elegant trees instead of fish. | |

Visionary Villain | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1843bf38 | comment |
Visionary Villain: A major aspect of Sadukravon’s scheme is to correct the imbalance in the world’s manna, which has been out of kilter since the end of the Elder Age. Bringing back balance would allow the lands beyond the Black Mountains to revive, and greatly diminish corruption’s influence across the entire continent. Too bad his means for accomplishing this is to resurrect a Manna Eruption (which would wipe out a large portion of Valadae’s populaces), and ‘restart’ the lands anew under a new and supreme manticor regime . | |

Mutually Exclusive Magic | |
| Dragon Calling / int_192d04d5 | comment |
Mutually Exclusive Magic: The Beacon Thrones are connected to an ancient binding magical law that restricts the inhabitants of Valadae from only ever being able to learn of the location of one of the four Thrones (whichever Throne channels the manna of the kingdom of the birth). Laeka’Draeon is the only known individual exempt from this law, and through him, is able to unbind others by verbally telling them what he knows. In the final book of the series (The Last Calling) it is revealed that his uniquely unbound condition is a result of him dying and then being resurrected before he was physically born . | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| Dragon Calling / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: Aurnraulath’s blood exchange with Sadukravon (terrible and traitorous as it was) was only ever meant to curse the bloodlines tied to his. This, as it turns out, ends up not being the case at all. The reason is not specified but can be assumed to be a few reasons; the most likely being that all dragons are connected by a special manna-bond that ties them all together. So, if one is blood-cursed... they all are. | |

Villains Never Lie: Vagel offers Aubrianna a blood oath, swearing to free her and her imprisoned companions if she reveals to him the secrets of the Troth of Penitence (she refuses, not believing him, although later in the series, when Vagel’s full motives are revealed, it stands to reason that he would have honoured his word). Sadukravon’s Breaking Lecture to Laeka’Draeon brings a new, and (implied) truthful point-of-view in regards to the dragons and the Manna Eruption . | |

Tappala is vivacious and undeniably bold in her determination to explore and uncover the lost archaeological secrets of the Deep Ways (despite the numerous threats the tainted realms hold). Even after the terrible incident of discovering the body of her apprentice (and the other massacred archaeologists), she still keeps her head on straight and helps Laeka’Draeon’s group make their escape. Even after the Tainted Shadows incident, she’s still as eager and excited as ever to return to her Deep Way explorations. | |

The Tower: The Beacon Thrones are manna conduits erected in the shape of windowless towers designed to regulate the balance of the land’s energies. The towers of Klonnoth Aire are (similarly to the Beacon Thrones) structures designed to channel manna; but, unlike the Beacon Thrones, Klonnoth Aire also emanates its own unique corruption-repelling magic. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Laeka’Draeon, once his Flame abilities are restored. Also, Ghinzel, to a degree, with his protective Poethur Fire. Eminroth is a serpentine drake of Fire and Stone, whose fire-power is so immense it blasts apart the cyclonic storm surrounding Nyetu’an . | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Badva's archaeologist crew, as well as Fletcher and Riev suffer horrendous deaths by their own hands; infected and traumatised by the Tainted Shadows to the point of violent suicide. Thankfully, readers are spared having to endure the event as Laeka’Draeon and companions arrive after everyone is already dead and cold. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Opal Eyes, even though stripped of his true form and left with very little of his original power, does all he can to aid Laeka’Draeon’s quest. Laeka’Draeon himself is a prince, although for most of the series is unaware of the fact. Lady Megandel, queen of the faeries, plays an important role in the series, making more than one appearance. Great Stal Marr—not only a king, but an experienced warrior—leads his kin against the Parasite. Prince Veilkiir is very active in matters of his father’s territory, and, later, participates in Laeka’Draeon and Shifra’s campaign in the Second Gathering . | |

Nigh-Invulnerability | |
| Dragon Calling / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: Fargo is a Spirit Message, and Spirit Messages cannot be harmed or disabled by anything accept its recipient’s command of release. The Parasite (Yurek’stelin) is also seemingly indestructible, to where the only way the original residents of Elrathil could stop its spread of destruction was to imprison it in a coma-like state. Once awakened and set loose on the battlefields of the Banded Plains, imprisonment by magical means seems the only way to stop it, that is, until a river of dragon spirits blast their manna through the beast, turning it to stone. Also, the Med’neth’dast, as they are entities resurrected by necromancy, and can really only be destroyed by purified balefire. Thrawn is comprised of unique, corrupted manna (from the Yurek’stelin) and thus can only be seriously injured by manna of a uniquely opposite nature (aka the energy from the Imurainiir). | |

Childhood Friends: Norf and Jessa grew up together, and were also schooled in the Wood Musician arts at the same time. Maewren, Belzor, Chase and Ferule are all childhood companions. One could even argue that Doriel and Laurana are too; however, as Belzor’s Soul Guards, they would not see their relationship that way; more of a servants/master with Belzor, and peer/peer with the others. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Dragon Calling / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Norf is often obnoxious, loud, pessimistic, and perfectly fine with handing out insults. Shifra, for the most part, maintains a disposition of iciness toward pretty much everyone (she softens as the story progresses, particularly toward Ubi and Laeka’Draeon). Madam Lume, while accommodating and helpful, is not a soft, friendly individual by any stretch of the imagination. Kushal is perverse and manipulative. Yarad is utterly ruthless against those he considers enemies. | |

Good Is Not Soft: Laeka'Draeon is kind, affable, and compassionate, but one would be a fool to think this makes him soft. He is the Unskilled, but Strong one of the group and only gets stronger as the story progresses, pulling out some serious Lightning Bruiser and Super Mode moments. Conso is a gentle, calm, and steadfast individual, but also a bruiser who will use his immense natural strength to protect his friends. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |

Chekhov's Gun: Though the Imurainiir is already shown to be an important artefact and plot device early on in the story (providing Laeka’Draeon with the prophecy of the Beacon Thrones) it proves even more invaluable later on when Belzor realises he can use it to break the corrupted barriers over the city of Dae and the realm of Laranen’unok. The sword also ends up being the Weapon of X-Slaying against Thrawn. | |

Yarad wears the same outfit for the entire quest, which is shown to be Magically Regenerating Clothing (this is later revealed to be because his clothing is actually a part of him; his own manna, externalised and manipulated to look like clothing). Shifra also wears the same outfit for most of the series and spends time mending it when she can (the clothes are also mended by evaish attendants during the group’s stay at Coron-Mias). | |

Psycho for Hire: Fals and Curdilis of the Shade Senders (Curdilis in particular) are sadistic and depraved, but thankfully kept in check by their leader, Fordon. | |

Butt-Dialing Mordor | |
| Dragon Calling / int_2e49d2b1 | comment |
Butt-Dialing Mordor: In a sense what Laeka'Draeon and company do by being detected by the Tainted Shadows. The Shadows’ screams reach through the dark spaces and currents of the world, straight to Sadukravon, who in turn reaches back through the Shadows, making direct contact with Laeka’Draeon for the first time. | |

Tomato in the Mirror: During the mega reveals through the Eye of Empyrean (and afterwards), Laeka’Draeon discovers his memories are not his, but his father's; that his body is a result of interference from his father’s manna (he is only a couple of months old, but his body has rapid-aged several years); and that the reason he was able to learn of the location of all the Beacon Thrones is that he died while still in his egg, resulting in him being ‘severed’ from the natural laws of the world. | |

Older Than They Look: Many Valadilian creature-kinds are long-lived, but unicorns, particularly, retain a prime appearance, as do the evaish, the nymphs, and the faerie. Of the companions, Yarad is over 230 (at the very least), although his appearance is that of a hemlan in his late twenties. Opal Eyes, once it is revealed that he is, in fact, Velhonoandrius the Second (although his condition is quite unique, in that he is sharing the body of a hemlan boy). | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The Shade Senders, although notorious for crimes such as murder, kidnapping and plundering, work by strict codes imposed by their leader, Fordon. They also do not abide taking any part in aligning themselves with unnatural evils, such as cacodemons or med’neth’dast. The vel-spectres serving under Sadukravon only do so as informants, surveillants, and transporters, and do not directly participate in conflicts of violence. Even then, calling them “evil” is a bit of a stretch. | |

The Unintelligible: Fargo occasionally slips into indecipherable mutterings.

Kick the Dog: Scimitar Dancer deliberately sets off the magic set into the bars of Norf’s prison cell (while Norf is holding onto them) which basically gives the satyr a terrible electric shock that hurls him across the small chamber. How Baucin and the other Maurin Moor goblins treat Tiel is especially and needlessly mean-spirited (physically abusing her, taunting her, bullying her and forcing her to do laborious tasks). | |

Bittersweet Ending: Leaning more toward the happy spectrum as nearly all the support and main characters survive. At the Abiding Pass, Belzor chooses to go back (stay alive), but at the cost of his memories and his right arm. Shifra is revived by Laeka’Draeon, but at the cost of his dragonic manna; meaning he is unable to assume his dragon form ever again. It is unknown whether he retains any of his heightened senses/ abilities. A few supporting characters’ fates are left ambiguous (Eran Va'eleon, Paytha, the sphinx). | |

Elemental Powers: Laeka'Draeon uses Fire, Ubi and Belzor use Light (Doriel and Laurana as well), Yarad uses Wind and Darkness, and Norf uses a specific form of Sound magic that affects flora and air. More broadly, nymphs use their respective elements in magical expressions, as do the serpentine drakes. Sphinx manipulate Earth and Wind, able to discombobulated their bodies into whirlwinds, and control sand with their breaths.

Honor Before Reason: Laeka'Draeon's good-naturedness and desire to help both friends and strangers alike have often been the cause of him taking action before considering the practicalities or longer-term consequences. This is especially true in regards to placing himself in danger in order to protect someone. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means: One of Sadukravon’s motives and the reason he plans to unleash the Manna Eruption upon Valadae. He believes the continent should realign its manna naturally, as opposed to the magical measures implemented by Klonnoth Aire and the Beacon Thrones. Never mind that reigniting the Eruption will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent creatures. | |

Badass in Distress | |
| Dragon Calling / int_4631e81f | comment |
Badass in Distress: Laeka’Draeon, while strong and capable (and with an increasingly powerful arsenal of abilities as the quest progresses) often finds himself in dire situations due to recklessness and/ or the surging drive to protect his friends. Some examples include: nearly being overwhelmed by the Ash-Banes; ambushed and badly injured by Sotaik; nearly falling to his death, twice; being captured and imprisoned by the goblins and forced to fight in their battle arena; also attacked and corrupted by the Tainted Shadows. Senses dulled by the stormy elements, Shifra is caught off-guard by Fals, who holds her hostage (and threatens to slash her throat) as the other Shade Senders converge on the rest of the companions. Yarad (the stoic bulwark of the group) during the manorphis arc in Book 5. After being captured by Prince Veilkiir and the Gaalainven he is taken to Duintrai City and resigns himself to his fate in the forzaeder doen (Traitor’s Duel) for past crimes. | |

Facial Markings | |
| Dragon Calling / int_465780af | comment |
Facial Markings: The Hongrin Priest has black hexes tattooed along his jawline and across his forehead. The markings glow ghostly blue when he is using magic. The fact that the tattoos are ‘hexes’ suggests they are a type of written spell—perhaps to help amplify of focus his magic. The Ashri (the equivalent to a unit commander) of the sphinx creature-kind have markings inked onto their foreheads, symbolic of their position. | |

Synchronisation | |
| Dragon Calling / int_479f8d82 | comment |
Synchronisation: The Ludas/ Ludipis creature-kind are connected to one another by an intricate network of shared manna, making them symbiotic in thoughts, memories, and sensory stimulations. This connection is broken when a Ludas severs its own bonds in order to transform into a Lungatos (a seed-bearing evolution of its species). Dragons, also, have a profound and powerful connection with one another, called the manna-bond. It can only be separated by the Trial of Separation, which causes the severed/ rejected individual to go mad with grief and longing . | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: The Parasite (Yurek'stelin), with its destructive, foreign matter, proved too powerful to overcome, and so the inhabitants of Elrathil performed a Heroic Sacrifice by using their life-force to seal it away in a death-like slumber, deep beneath the earth... until Sadukravon reached out through the depths and darkness, awoke it and summoned it to Beruun Terrolaghn. The harpies of Mistwood are also implied to have been this until the seals binding them to the trees of Hingraith Grove were broken (the culprit suspected to be the monster that mysteriously appeared in the Labyrinth of Tears and claimed the territory for its own). | |

Friendless Background: It is implied in the series (and confirmed in Ubi’s Prologue Comic), that Ubi had few-to-no friends growing up, due to her status as the Golding heir. The comic confirms that she was also kept apart from others due to the fact that while she is learning to hone her particular abilities, her presence around other young unicorns would disrupt their manna. | |

Motive Rant: Sadukravon gives one to Laeka’Draeon during their final confrontation ; he makes it clear beforehand he’s been waiting to do this ever since he learned of Laeka’Draeon’s existence, and that Laeka’Draeon has been receiving guidance from Opal Eyes (whom Sadukravon would see as revealing only half the truth to the young dragon). Played down somewhat, as he willingly engages in a two-way conversation with Laeka’Draeon, wanting to glean the young dragon’s perspective as much as wanting to declare his reasons and desires. | |

Plot-Powered Stamina | |
| Dragon Calling / int_4f1f4751 | comment |
Plot-Powered Stamina: All the centaur characters (Belzor, Chase, Ferule, Maewren, Doriel and Laurana) endure long bouts of running. Doriel, Laurana, and Belzor also exert magical energy, sometimes straight after or during events of intense physical exertion. Mind you, centaurs are known for their high stamina, and all the known characters have the benefit of additional training (Chase and Ferule are vanguards in the Centaurian Army; Doriel and Laurana are Soul Guards). Many of the morwulf characters (Tovin, Paytha, Abner) are shown exerting extreme bouts of physical activity. Abner, in particular, manages to keep up with Belzor and his companions, and runs all the way from Shinyon to the morwulf encampments surrounding Dae. Aubrianna maintains continuous cloaking/ protective spells over the wagons that escaped the siege of Dae for days before finally needing to rest. Thanks to her extensive training and her pedigree, Shifra often has no trouble keeping pace with Laeka’Draeon and Ubi (both of whom have more legs and more magic than she). | |

Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Belzor is mortally wounded in his effort to destroy the High General, Thrawn. And while he is successfully brought Back from the Dead, he is left with a somewhat Pyrrhic Victory, suffering from extensive memory-loss and an amputated right arm. | |

Book Ends: Chapter One of Kin Seeker (the first book in the series) is called ‘Alone’ and has the protagonist, Laeka’Draeon, confused and troubled about his lack of memory and why he is alone in an unfamiliar place. Chapter Sixty One of The Last Calling (the last book in the series) is called "Not Alone" and has Laeka'Draeon loved and surrounded by his friends with the affirmation that he is not alone, and never will be. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Being the Non-Action Guy means Norf, for the most part, keeps a low profile. But the fact that he is able to keep up with a dragon, unicorn, morwulf warrior and bad-ass mage is a testament to the satyr’s hardiness and endurance. Plus, he has a mean right hook (looking at you on the tavern floor, Borcin). | |

Willing Channeler: Farg's design specifically allows for this, enabling both Opal Eyes and Celetheal to witness Laeka'Draeon's journey (and pre-empt when to step in and lend clandestine assistance). Fynwen — on the verge of death from (an unknown) illness — offers to lend his body as a vessel to Velhonoandrius’ spirit; the union ends up beneficial to both (Velhonoandrius is able to remain in Valadae and continue lending aid to Laeka'Draeon, and Fynwen is subsequently cured of his illness). | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Yarad may have dark eyes, long raven-toned hair, dress in predominately dark clothing, and have mage abilities associated with wind and darkness... but he’s a strong ally to Laeka'Draeon and friends with the Keet of the group. The manorphis, while at first hostile toward Laeka'Draeon and his group, are not inherently evil, and end up becoming staunch allies during the Second Gathering. The Gaalainven, by all appearances, looks extremely villainous, however, the truth is the opposite; Aena is not evil at all — just a troubled, heart-broken young woman, out to avenge her murdered family. | |

Hand Signals: Norf is very expressive with his hands and arms (and, let’s face it, his mouth most of the time, too) and regularly does dramatic signals (emphasised pointing, crossing the arms to form an X, flailing the arms, face-palming, etc). A particularly subtle but important gesture is made by Yarad (keeping his arm placidly against his side but waving his fingers) to Laeka’Draeon in a “hold off from reacting” command when Shifra is pinned by Fals and threatened with his chakram. | |

Painful Transformation: Laeka’Draeon’s forced shifting into hemlan form, by Kushal’s curse, is described as being consumed by an agonising heat whilst also enduring muscle and ligament contractions hard enough to shatter bone (his bones did not shatter, of course, but rearranged). Fordon’s screams after Vagel crushes manna-terra in his claws before punching it straight into the mercenary’s chest attest to the pain he undoubtedly endures during the manna-terra’s transfusion. One can assume the other Curdilis and Hulborne suffered the same agony. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Dragon Calling / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Initially bent on executing vengeance against Yarad through the Forzaeder Doen, Aena stays her killing blow, at first due to Ghinzel’s heartfelt pleas, but over the course of time spent with the companions, and speaking frankly with Yarad on several occasions, she comes to understand he is not her real enemy, and so becomes an ally. | |

We Have Reserves | |
| Dragon Calling / int_61c683d2 | comment |
We Have Reserves: The hobgoblins of Beruun Terrolaghn are numerous. Extremely numerous. No exact numbers are given, but in the chapter, Where the Lines are Drawn, Yessenett states that the allied armies of (all eleven kingdoms of) Valadae are outnumbered six to one. As such, Sadukravon and The Hold are happy to use their mooks as Cannon Fodder to help forward their plans. In Book Two, a small army of hobgoblins is sent to the Raegelian Forest, not to conquer, but as a one-way trip to stir up the guardians of the woods, so that the forest and its inhabitants (namely its powerful ruler) would be forced into self-isolation (and kept from interfering). In Book Four it’s revealed that hundreds of vel-spectres are sacrificed in order to create large Gateways on a regular basis. In Book Five, hobgoblin shock troops are basically tossed at the frontlines of the allied armies (even before the proper battle begins) just to wear down their morale. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Vagel resorts to all measures of vileness, all for the sake of saving his family and kin. Cassiopeia, bound to Sadukravon’s will, obeys him on the somewhat deluded hope that he can save her kind from a slow, quiet demise. Even Sadukravon himself has his ambitions fuelled (in part) by a longing to resurrect his kind and restore them to the glorious status of ages long past. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Dragon Calling / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: A few. Boedek distracts the Darks Whelm cacodemon, long enough for Laeka’Draeon and Ubi to escape. Yuolers sacrifices his manna link with his kin (which eventually kills him) AND abandons his home (leaving it to its fate under the ravaging of the Don-Chease and their cacodemon) in order to rescue Ubi and Laeka'Draeon and carry them to safety. Tiel remains behind in the collapsing cavern to hold the goblin gate closed. Several characters during the Gathering including Chase and Belzor (both badly wounded), and Ametrine. Shifra sacrifices her life to save Laeka’Draeon, and subsequently Laeka’Draeon gives up his dragon manna to revive her. | |

Missing Mom | |
| Dragon Calling / int_66dfe36a | comment |
Missing Mom: Later in the series Shifra reveals that her mother was abducted by a Rogue dragon and presumed dead, as the Vala-Kas and Slayers were never able to recover a body. Near the end of the series, it is discovered that two creatures (a dragon and a morwulf) were fused to create the monster Thrawn. The Aunuen did not try to repel Thrawn when it took hold of the amulet, which means Thrawn's blood was bound to the Aunuen … and there's only one way for that to happen. Also, Laeka’Draeon’s mother goes missing after the Second Gathering, and in a conversation with Shifra he states that one of his future goals is to find out what happened to her. | |

Giant Flyer | |
| Dragon Calling / int_67677940 | comment |
Giant Flyer: Ghoshmyls are the staple mount of the hobgoblin forces; their hive-like social structure enables the higher-ranking hobgoblins to easily manipulate and train the ‘worker’ beasts into subservience. The Beacon Throne guardians (serpentine drakes) are the largest living creatures in Valadae; Eminroth is so huge his body alters the weather around him. Hippogriffs are the second-largest of the ten ruling creature-kinds, and—depending on the situation—allow themselves to be ridden by other kinds. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
| Dragon Calling / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: Ghinzel does this frequently when using his magic nuts, but (as with certain types of magic activations in Valadilian Lore) his vocal assertions are a focusing method, to help him successfully activate the magic. Belzor Ven’Ho also performs vocal invocation, using the hilesal language, which amplifies the power and efficacy of his attacks/ abilities. | |

Dragons Are Divine: The dragons of Valadae are considered the most powerful creatures alive. Their magic is unrivalled; they were able to manipulate the very manna of the world itself, through the construction of the towers of Klonnoth Aire. Dragon manna also tends to affect the manna of things and creatures around them. And their origin remains a mystery, other than they claim to hail from a realm called Ayrelan. | |

Hidden Weapons | |

Hidden Weapons: Shifra keeps her dragon-fang dagger in a hidden sheath lined into her boot. Yarad’s hair ribbon and waist belt could technically be this, as they have no resemblance to any kind of weapon until he manipulates them with magic. One of Ghinzel's magic nuts can transform into a baton with a flat, over-sized rectangular head (like a giant fly swatter) with which he can create powerful wind gusts. | |

And Madam Lume shows little leniency to Laeka’Draeon while she helps him to adjust to his hemlan form — although she's not above giving mild praise where it’s due. | |

Dance Battler: Shifra fights using the Kutokii style—a secret martial art known only to the morwulves that involves wielding one’s own manna to extend and enhance physical attacks. The style often makes the fighter look like they are dancing. Yarad’s fluent movements when fighting also gives the impression of dancing (albeit in a more frightening and savage manner). | |

After-Action Healing Drama: After the ghoshmyl attack on the centaur/ hobgoblin groups in the Raegelian forest, it is discovered Maewren is gravely wounded and requires both Belzor and Ubi’s combined Healing abilities to mend. Also, when Ubi is mauled nearly to death by Laeka'Draeon during his temporary spiral into madness, the companions rush to bind the worst of the injuries but it becomes clear she is in need of proper Healers, and quickly. Once getting her to a somewhat stable condition, the group moves with haste to reach Coron-Mias. | |

The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Happens to Vagel to a degree (which you only learn about during his Return Arc in The Last Calling). He infiltrates The Hold in order to find a power great enough to save his people, but spending so much time in Beruun Terrolaghn, and being influenced by Ikorveil’s Dark magics, has a corruptive effect on him, making him Slowly Slipping Into Evil. Fortunately, he keeps hold of his original goal, and, once he begins his mission to retrieve the Aunuen, he spends enough time away from the Hongrin Priest and is able to break free of his manipulative hold. | |

Embarrassing First Name | |
| Dragon Calling / int_829b958e | comment |
Embarrassing First Name: Norf is short for Nordfius; not that there's anything wrong with that name. Well, except, perhaps that it means "Northern Wanderer", and Norf is a southerner, and hates travelling. No matter the reasons, Norf considers his name an embarrassment and thus never uses it. | |

Magitek | |
| Dragon Calling / int_82d2715f | comment |
Magitek: The instruments and utilities of both the old duarden and evaishian empires are referred to as ‘technologies’, implying a level of advancement not seen in the current Age of Valadae—or, to be more accurate, only seen in small amounts and glimpses, such as the manna stones and Merge Doors found in the Deep Ways. The trans-shifting circles created by faerie magic (and utilised by both the faerie and the evaish) are basically elevators powered by magic. The airships of Ho-Ru Thenen are of ancient evaishian make, and are powered by some collected form of manna. They are also equipped with manna-firing cannons. The manna cannons used by Shoumeign’s city guard are barrelled weapons that accumulate manna (presumably by magical means) and use it as ammunition. | |

BFS: Volten Vagel sports an enormous sword that’s serrated along one side (as if it’s the size and the power of its wielder wasn’t scary enough). General Starvos Wrathmere wields a huge broadsword; which makes sense, considering his height and bulk is considerably larger than the average hemlan. | |

Super Mode: Laeka'Draeon, after activating one (or more) of the Beacon Throne guardians' powers. Also, when he slips into the Fuls ov Kuvvasharrn ( although that rapidly becomes more of a Superpowered Evil Side as his cursed blood gains in strength and influence). And again, when he does a Fusion Dance with Opal Eyes and becomes a full-grown dragon, with enough power to finally take down Sadukravon . | |

Power Glows: When the Beacon Throne guardians’ power is active, it often manifests around/ from Laeka’Draeon as a luminous aura. When Ubi uses her Light and Healing magics, the energy gives off an effervescent glow. Note, that most elemental magics in the series manifests some level of luminosity. | |

Plucky Girl: Ubi is quite brave (choosing to embark on Laeka’Draeon’s quest, for one thing) and has a (more often than not) optimistic and encouraging disposition. Tappala is vivacious and undeniably bold in her determination to explore and uncover the lost archaeological secrets of the Deep Ways (despite the numerous threats the tainted realms hold). Even after the terrible incident of discovering the body of her apprentice (and the other massacred archaeologists), she still keeps her head on straight and helps Laeka’Draeon’s group make their escape. Even after the Tainted Shadows incident, she’s still as eager and excited as ever to return to her Deep Way explorations. | |

The Parasite (Yurek’stelin) is also seemingly indestructible, to where the only way the original residents of Elrathil could stop its spread of destruction was to imprison it in a coma-like state. Once awakened and set loose on the battlefields of the Banded Plains, imprisonment by magical means seems the only way to stop it, that is, until a river of dragon spirits blast their manna through the beast, turning it to stone. | |

Magic Is a Monster Magnet: Not “magic” per se, and not outright stated in the books, but Word Of God confirms that Laeka’Draeon’s cursed blood/ corrupted manna attracts the attention of other corrupted entities. It is the reason the Don-Chease (although actually aware of him) ignore him until he interferes, why the cacodemon wants to devour him, and why Sotaik breaches the Grey-Path. | |

Native Guide: Being an inhabitant of Caprine and geographically savvy, Norf guides Ubi and Laeka’Draeon through Twens Way and on toward Elenoelian—their final destination. Later (in Book 2) after the group leaves the (heavily-guarded) confines of the Nymph Realm, Norf once again guides the group through the outer regions of Mistwood, tracking toward one of the fellis villages (where they hope to find a local ranger to assist them further). Belzor, being a resident of the southern forests, assists Laeka’Draeon and company in reaching the entrance to the Olmu Glade, by safely guiding them through the dangerous and shadowy terrain of the Realm of Nymphs. Ghinzel—having learned how to navigate all the regions of Mistwood since he could walk—happily volunteers to guide Laeka’Draeon and company through the Labyrinth of Tears (Mistwood’s most dangerous region) in order to help them locate the mysterious Beacon Throne of Water and Air. | |

Our Fairies Are Different | |
| Dragon Calling / int_90d5b651 | comment |
Our Fairies Are Different: There are four different types of faeries in Valadae, all with traits that both tie them together as a creature-kind, and distinguish them from one another. Common features include being bipedal, with cloven-hoofed feet, feathery tails, horns protruding from the forehead, laying eggs instead of live offspring, and wings. Some differences are: one kind have feathered wings, the others have dragon-fly like wings. Two kinds are covered in hair, one kind is nomadic (and very, very small). | |

Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism | |
| Dragon Calling / int_91183950 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: The entire series is full of sapient anthrozoomorphic creatures, ranging from multi-tailed foxes, unicorns, dragons, and wescats, all the way through to more anthropomorphic beings such as morwulves, duards, fellis, goblins, and haunjers. | |

Our Goblins Are Different | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9136471a | comment |
Our Goblins Are Different: The general impression of the wood goblins is that they are generally passive and timid although implied to be nosy and knowledgeable (examples seen in Tolib and Tiel). Hobgoblins stand around eight feet tall, are covered in thick hair, with bull-like head horns and boar-like tusk and upturned nose. Their features are described as being a mix of porcine and feline. Before their culture was decimated by the manticors and they were turned into mindless Elite Mooks, they were a Proud Warrior Race as well as True Craftsman in stonemasonry, excavation and refinement (considered better even than the duards). | |

You Remind Me of X | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9718a22a | comment |
You Remind Me of X: In Book Two, when Laeka'Draeon meets the faerie queen, Lady Megandel, for the first time, she mentions "When I look at you, I see someone else I once knew." She does not continue down that line of conversation, and, although extremely curious, Laeka’Draeon does not pursue the topic. Later in the series (Book 5), after it is discovered that a fair amount of Aurnraulath’s essence absorbed into Laeka’Draeon, altering the rate of his growth (and, likely, his appearance), one can assume that when Megandel looked at the young dragon, she was reminded of his father. Although it is not stated in the books that Aurnraulath or Megandel ever met, one can assume they did in the past, due to their status (he a dragon prince and active delegate, and she the ruler of an allied realm). | |

Also, what the hobgoblins used to be before their culture was decimated by the manticors. Later in the series, it is revealed that an untainted hobgoblin remnant survived, as did their culture (due predominantly to the leader, Ulkvran’s, efforts to keep the old clan traditions alive). | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Vagel suggests this to Aubrianna, to her horror and immediate rebuff; but when Vagel’s final arc is revealed, his words ring with truth.

Sadukravon actually says this to Laeka’Draeon, speaking of their shared legacies of vileness, as well as the driving desire to save their kinds, regardless. | |

Eldritch Location: Coron-Mias is strongly affected by the close proximity of raw manna veins to the surface, so much so that time, light, and other elements do not follow the normal physical laws of the world. The trees are changed, turned petrified and luminous, and the waterways are imbued with powerful healing properties. All living things within the realm are immune to degenerative forces, including disease. Darks Whelm is separated from the rest of the world by ancient, powerful barriers, and the corruption within the forest has caused time to distort, eradicating the normal cycle of seasons and weather patterns. | |

Continuity Nod: Plenty of references (big and small) in The Last Calling (Book 5) that tie together characters and events throughout the series. Examples: The company coming across two Lungatos and the birthing of a new Ludipis field; revealing that not all the Ludas from Laeka’Draeon’s first misadventure were slaughtered by the cacodemon. The revelation of why Laeka’Draeon is drawn to the stars. The conversation (implied by Aej, confirmed by Stal-Marr) that reveals Boedek’s fate. The Imurainiir requiring water to conduct its power, even after being deconstructed (Belzor only takes the sword part of it). | |

Flight | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9e0b9695 | comment |
Flight: Laeka'Draeon, given that he's a dragon. Yarad and Shifra also possess this ability, both using different levels of Voluntary Shapeshifting. More broadly, all Valadilian creature-kinds with wings (e.g. hippogriffs, mifflins, manorphis). | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Ghinzel, Ubi, and Shifra are not physically buff by any means, yet their talents in other areas help them to overcome the dangers/ obstacles thrown their way. The pixie-cats (Maita, Ika, and Kushal) are slight and slender, but extremely agile, cunning and proficient at magic (Kushal especially). | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Hobgoblins stand around eight feet tall, are covered in thick hair, with bull-like head horns and boar-like tusk and upturned nose. Their features are described as being a mix of porcine and feline. Before their culture was decimated by the manticors and they were turned into mindless Elite Mooks, they were a Proud Warrior Race as well as True Craftsman in stonemasonry, excavation and refinement (considered better even than the duards). | |

Secret-Keeper | |
| Dragon Calling / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: Laeka’Draeon, unbound by the law of the Thrones, holds knowledge of all four Throne locations, which no other creature is able to learn—unless revealed directly by Laeka’Draeon. Later in the series, he learns the reason for his unique immunity is due to his unnatural hatching (being revived by his father’s manna while still in the egg). Aubrianna and the Mauveer Clan inherit the secret of the heritage of Keisha Inshurima, waiting for the time when passing on its truths to its bloodline heirs is required. Opal Eyes is a veritable vault of secrets, both amazing and terrible, and for most of the series his secrets stay with him (for reasons he later explains). | |

It's Personal: Yarad’s hatred of General Wrathmere; the general maliciously targeted him due to him being a magical creature, which resulted in the death of his lover, Eelyn, and the senseless butchering of her entire family (all of whom he had formed bonds with), except for Aena (who managed to escape). Aena’s pursuit of retribution against Yarad, until she postpones her judgment thanks to Ghinzel’s bravery and heart; eventually she shifts her goal to align with Yarad’s. Also, Shifra’s hatred of dragons (her mother was snatched by a Rogue). | |

Life Energy: Called manna in the series, it is a thread of Pure Energy that flows through all living things, sustaining the tether between an individual’s physical being and their spirit.

Super Senses: Many characters in the series are above-average in one or more of their physical senses (either due to their species or because of enchantments or magical abilities). Curdilis’ spirit tracing ability. Lady Megandel’s clairvoyant and soul-reading gifts. Laeka’Draeon’s hyper-sensitivity to the presence of corrupted energies (resulting in the signature “pins-and-needles” in his paws).

Red Eyes, Take Warning: When Sadukravon's eyes turn red that means his temper is flared up, and when his temper flares, the corruption coursing through him flares, too. Never a good thing. Subverted with the sphinx and the manorphis. Although depending on your feelings about said creature-kinds, that is questionable... both have stringent creeds and are particularly fierce and unforgiving. For certain, you do not want to get on the bad side of either of them. | |

Odd Friendship: A few. Ubi and Norf, as their kinds are at odds with one another in regards to vastly different cultures. Yarad and Ghinzel, in age-gap, polar-opposite temperaments, and being different species. Laeka’Draeon and Shifra, whose races have been enemies for hundreds of years (the morwulves especially carry a deep-seated hatred). Haskel and Conso’s partnership is far from the norm as well, as haunjers and wescats don’t normally interact on any terms of equality or comradery. | |

Hidden Elf Village | |
| Dragon Calling / int_a971e83c | comment |
Hidden Elf Village: Duintrai city, home to the manorphis: regal and mysterious isolationists who care little of the goings-on beyond their borders. Lailil-Thenen, most certainly, for not only is it a realm made exclusively for the unicorns, but they have used special barriers to keep it hidden and impassable to anyone else. The Olmu Glade as well, although the nymphs and faeries created the place more out of necessity (to ensure their survival against the spreading corruption in the lands) than any attitude of aloofness or disdain toward the other kingdoms and creature-kinds. Coron-Mias, to some degree, in that—while the location is well-known—the inhabitants isolate themselves and very rarely allow outsiders to enter. | |

Mordor | |
| Dragon Calling / int_aa2bd65c | comment |
Mordor: Beruun Terrolaghn, first broken, in part, by the Manna Eruption of the Elder Age (although stabilised by the duards and hobgoblins for many generations), but eventually degenerated into a deeply corrupted state throughout the long years of the War of Shores. | |

| Dragon Calling / int_aac2244a | comment |
Evil vs. Evil: Volten Vagel works under the shadow of Beruun Terrolaghn, but his ultimate goal is to find a way/ power to save his remnant kin. The mission to hunt down the morwulf artefact provides him with the opportunity to stay away from the Hongrin Priest (Ikorveil) long enough to break the sorcerer’s hold on his mind, and to fully pursue his goals. Ultimately, he turns against Beruun Terrolaghn and all it stands for and goes after Ikorveil himself. | |

Harmful to Minors | |
| Dragon Calling / int_abc60c5d | comment |
Harmful to Minors: Ghinzel is only eight when he joins Laeka'Draeon's quest. All the subsequent trials and horrors experienced would certainly not be something any normal child would have to deal with, even a fellis child — who are raised in villages surrounded by dangerous marshy woods infested with harpies and water horses. Although Tiel's age is never revealed, it’s obvious that she's quite young. She is ostracised, brutalised and bullied by most (if not all) the other goblins of the Maurin Moors. It is implied that Aena witnessed the murder of her entire family and the destruction of her home, at the hands of Starvos Wrathmere and his Denin-hunting raiders. She would have been young at the time, no more than thirteen years old. | |

Act of True Love | |
| Dragon Calling / int_be445584 | comment |
Act of True Love: Most examples are thanks to Laeka'Draeon's strong devotion to his friends; many of the perils he faces are a result of his efforts to protect/ save those he cares for. A trait revealed earlier in the series (e.g. his volunteering to rescue Ubi from Darks Whelm, despite having only recently met her) and continues throughout, climaxing with the sacrifice of his dragonic manna to save Shifra. Shifra, herself, also does this when given the choice to use the Aunuen to either reverse the corruption from the unforged Beacon Throne or break the curse of Sod’minokul and thus releasing the dragons to reignite Klonnoth Aire (saving Laeka'Draeon in the process but at a high personal price), she chooses the latter. Tiel's sacrifice is solely given out of her fondness for Ghinzel and trust in Laeka'Draeon. | |

Light 'em Up | |
| Dragon Calling / int_c0fd3b54 | comment |
Light 'em Up: In-world magic law has Light magic capable of being used to both restore and destroy. Primary examples can be seen in the unicorns (their horns are the conducting points of their external magic castings) and the magical bloodline centaurs (channelling through their hands). Boedek uses a light beam to (temporarily) repel the Don-Chease cacodemon. Ubi utilised her horn offensively multiple times to protect her friends. Her light beams have a yellowy tinge to them. Belzor and his Soul Guards combine their energies to create a massive Light explosion which destroys the hobgoblin and ghoshmyl enemies attacking Laeka’Draeon and Rardius’ groups along the Raegelian border. Doreial and Laurana utilise Light magic to attack Thrawn (shooting balls of Pure Energy from their hands). Aej attacks Laeka’Draeon with beams of energy, although the manifested energy is black, suggesting he might, in fact, be using a pure form of dark magic. Wielded as a weapon, the Imurainiir projects spears of burning rainbow-coloured light from its blade. | |

Neck Lift | |
| Dragon Calling / int_c2c80ef | comment |
Neck Lift: Vagel does this to Shifra, during his attempt to take the Aunuen from her. Vagel also does this to Fordon, after the hemlan refuses to continue working with him; Vagel, determined to fulfil his mission, gives the hemlan no choice and forcefully infuses manna-terra into his body—which consequently injects his body with unnatural levels of manna, and makes him subservient to Vagel's will . | |

Big "NO!" | |
| Dragon Calling / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": Laeka'Draeon is prone to such outbursts. First, when the enchantment to open the way to the Olmu Glade collapses before Belzor, Maewren, Chase, Ferule, and Maikor are able to get through, and are thus left trapped in the lake, surrounded by crazed wall-watchers. Again, when Az-Thorz bears down on Shifra in what looks to be a killing blow. And again, when Vagel appears to have crushed Shifra’s neck with his hand. And, most poignantly, in Book 5, when Shifra is impaled by Sadukravon after she chooses to sacrifice her life to save his. Chase also screams this, after he finds Maewren badly injured by a ghoshmyl strike. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: After Megandel’s declaration that the hope for the restoration of the lands lies in him, Laeka’Draeon feels weak and unfit for the task required of him. Megandel, The High Queen and The Omniscient, renews his courage by reminding him of his incredible potential. This quote from Ourntar to Laeka’Draeon and his friends: “Each of you are far more capable than you realise.” After the group’s escape from Shoumeign, Laeka’Draeon encourages Ghinzel along these lines, reminding him that courage is about doing what’s needed and what’s right in the face of fear (not the absence of it). | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice | |
| Dragon Calling / int_c93a6560 | comment |
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In Book Two, the night watcher, Nomar, is pierced through the shoulder by Vagel, who uses the morwulf’s own sword to do so. In an act of cruelty, the hobgoblin captain then lifts the hapless morwulf off the ground and pulls him along the shaft of the sword to stare him down nose-to-nose. In Book Five, Belzor stabs Thrawn through the core with the Imurainiir, which effectively severs the bonds of the spirits trapped inside and consequently causes Thrawn’s body to disintegrate . In turn, Thrawn impales Belzor with one of its branch-like ligaments; it punctures straight through the centaur, between his front legs, literally pinning him like a stuck fish, until Thrawn flings him loose during his death throes. During the Final Battle Sadukravon, in a fit of absolute rage (at Shifra using the Aunuen to break the dragon’s blood curse), skewers her through the chest before flinging her like a rag doll across the rocky escarpment. | |

Creation Myth: According to The Making tale, in the Kin Seeker Companion Guide, everything was created by the Maker, manifesting in the form of Words (matter within the Maker made into separate energies by being ‘spoken’ out from Him). The final Word, Manna, was broken into three Strands, and the Strands were tasked with flowing through all the other Words, bringing everything into a constant flow of existence. One Strand decided to make its own flow, disrupting the balance of everything, and was henceforth severed from the other flows, becoming The Corruption. | |

Hurting Hero | |
| Dragon Calling / int_d3b0ad08 | comment |
Hurting Hero: Laeka'Draeon struggles to deal with his cursed blood, and has an especially hard time after the tainted shadows caused him to lose control and viciously maul Ubi. He also goes through a particularly low moment after he learns what happened to the dragons. Yarad is haunted by numerous traumatic events in his past, which are the triggers to his drive for both vengeance and redemption. Although Belzor admirably bears the mantle and obligations as Misht’thurelin, he has to regularly deal with the fear and angst associated with an uncertain and lonely fate. Shifra’s more recent life traumas ( her mother’s fate, the siege of Dae, and the sole escapee from Vagel’s ambush) weigh heavy and follow closely as a shadow, as does the sense of duty to save her people and kingdom. | |

Friendship Moment | |
| Dragon Calling / int_d6b5f05f | comment |
Friendship Moment: A few touching moments between the main cast, particularly between Laeka'Draeon and Ubi. For starters, in Kin Seeker, after only meeting her a short while, Laeka'Draeon risks his life to save Ubi from the Don-Chease, and then from their summoned cacodemon; even going so far as being ready to throw away his newly acquired purpose (finding the other dragons and restoring his memory) and exchange his life for hers. Ubi and Norf; after being at odds with one another since they met, when Az-Thorz captures Ubi and has her trapped in his enchanted bog, Norf and Ghinzel rush to save her. When it becomes clear their efforts are futile, Norf refuses to let go even though doing so will guarantee he'll drown in the mud alongside her. There's an especially touching moment between Ubi and Laeka'Draeon, after he comes out of his Fuls ov Kuvvasharrn (aka Fire of Judgement/ Dragon's Wrath) for the first time, and is horrified by the intensity of his savagery. Basically every interaction between Yarad and Ghinzel. Their Intergenerational Friendship is something special. One of particular note is in the chapter, Wrath of the Matriarch (in Book Three), when the harpy matriarch—having broken out from her prison—spots Ghinzel (harpies and fellis being sworn enemies) and flies into a murderous rage. She bears down upon the group too quickly for Ghinzel to ignite his harpy-repelling Poether Flames, but Yarad thwarts the attack by sacrificing one of his weapons (which he was using to fight General Wrathmere) to throw at the beast (it strikes her in the arm and distracts her long enough for Ghinzel's Poether magic to ignite). Yarad is injured as a result and Wrathmere gets away, but Ghinzel and the others are spared a terrible fate. Some could argue that Yarad acted the way he did because of Laeka'Draeon (later the mage reveals his reason for his interference in Laeka'Draeon's affairs was due to the respect he has for dragon-kind), but it's pretty obvious the one in direct danger was Ghinzel (and Yarad had saved Ghinzel earlier on that night, in the alley). Norf—not inclined to be kindly of tender towards children—often teases and provokes Ghinzel. As the story progresses though, his teasing becomes more like affectionate jesting, to the point where is Ginzel is comfortable enough with the satyr to tease him back. Laeka'Draeon and Ubi's reunion is a total melt-your-heart moment. In Book 5, when Norf gifts Ubi the seashell he took from the shore of the Wistlight Sea (actually, took from Ghinzel, scolding the fellis for trying to keep it. Hypocrite.) During the gathering of the heirs of Aunuen, Shifra boldly stands up against her own kin in order to defend Laeka'Draeon's character (she even admits later that she used to be just like them, and her change of heart is due to questing with Laeka'Draeon, seeing firsthand his courage and selflessness). The biggest and most heartbreaking moment is when Shifra chooses to sacrifice her life to save Laeka'Draeon and break the curse of Sod'minokul (even when there was another option to save Valadae). | |

Technicolor Fire: The lanterns within the Valour Shrine of Elenoelian produce blue flames which cycle through different colours during Imurainiir’s activation. Ghinzel’s Poethur fire is green. Laeka’Draeon’s natural Flame is green fringed in black. Sephorelian’s fire (as witnessed through the Eye of Empyrean) is white. When Eminroth’s body disintegrates, it turns into colourful fire (the colours mentioned are red, green, yellow, black, white, and violet). | |

Boedek—having followed Laeka’Draeon into Darks Whelm—rushes to deflect the cacodemon’s attack, and keeps the monster occupied, giving Laeka’Draeon and Ubi time to escape. Ferule, Chase, and Belzor perform a coordinated charge in order to break through Thrawn's forest of limbs and get in a clean strike to free Laeka'Draeon and Shifra from its grasp. | |

Evil Tainted the Place | |
| Dragon Calling / int_df1cea7e | comment |
Evil Tainted the Place: Several examples that are referenced (even traversed by the main characters) throughout the books. Darks Whelm was once the forest of Elrathil, coveted for its beauty and purity. The Parasite’s arrival heralded its long, slow demise; the taint and decay caused by the creature proved so great that the forest was abandoned and magically sealed off from the rest of the world. The corruption caused by the War of Shores permeated much of the Deep Ways, to the point where the realm became uninhabitable. Hunadreas, the mighty heart of the duards’ old empire, was overrun by the hobgoblins and manticors, and fouled by the corruption that followed them. After its fall, the city became known as Beruun Hunadreas, along with the mountain realm’s changed name from the Border Realm to Berrun Terrolaghn. | |

Last of His Kind | |
| Dragon Calling / int_e26f04b4 | comment |
Last of His Kind: Laeka’Draeon is the first dragon to be seen for several months, and is figuratively considered the last of his kind in Valadae, until the mysterious disappearance of the others is solved. When it does, he learns that (sadly) he is the last (at least the last dragon still active and able to take part in the Second Gathering . Sadukravon is the last of his kind, as far as he knows. The Beacon Throne guardians are the last of their kind. | |

Crystal Ball: The Hongrin Priest, Ikorveil, uses a foreseer orb to scry across distance and depth to spy on the happenings within Valadae. Later, is it revealed that his brother, Ulkvran, possesses one as well. It is implied he used it to watch over Volten Vagel. Both the Imurainiir and the Eye of Empyrean (although not actual orbs) are also tools used for delving into the past/ future. The Eye of Empyrean is also capable of scrying. | |

Meaningful Rename: As he does not know his real name, Laeka’Draeon dons the name given him by Ubi; later he also accepts Shifra continuing to call him by his hemlan alias, Atanu. Laeka’Draeon, literally means Little Dragon in the in-world language, hilesal; Atanu, means Unshapen, suitable in the case of Laeka’Draeon, who spends the majority of the series seeking after his lost identity and calling. By the series’ end, his learns his real name, Laefael, which means Heir of Ascension, and chooses it over the others. | |

Even the semi-sentient fear-inducing Black Sand is, well, black. | |

Mystical White Hair: Opal Eyes, being the Mystical Waif; solidified when it is discovered that he is actually Velonoandrius the Second's spirit, borrowing the body of a hemlan boy (the white hair and eye colour a result of the dragon's intrusive manna). Belzor is of a magical bloodline (while most centaur bloodlines are non-magical) and is able to use Light and Healing magics. Doriel and Laurana Whetherest are the same as Belzor, although their line is not as established, and, therefore, their training in magic came with additional side effects (the loss of their voices). | |

Aena shares a part of Yarad's past, which is especially tragic from her point-of-view as she loses her entire family and home and is left orphaned to fend for herself. It is never explained how she ended up with the manorphis, but pretty much all of her life from Wrathmere's raid to the forzaeder doen with Yarad was spent in bitterness, loneliness, and hate-fuelled desire for revenge. | |

Platonic Declaration of Love | |
| Dragon Calling / int_f3abffb6 | comment |
Platonic Declaration of Love: Shifra makes this declaration in the loudest possible way —when she chooses to use the Aunuen to save Laeka’Draeon’s life (and free the dragons) knowing it will cost her hers. | |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood | |
| Dragon Calling / int_f48d0f54 | comment |
Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Pixie-cats are notoriously mischievous and trouble-making, and in some cultures/ regions are believed to be evil and the presence of one a bad omen. But they are not inherently bad. They just have a greyer moral spectrum, and are, by nature, more chaotic than most sentient creatures. The same stigma follows the goblin creature-kinds. And while vel-spectres are working for Sadukravon, and aid in his dreadful operations, it is revealed later in the series that they do so under duress; forced to follow orders from their Queen, who is bound to Sadukravon against her will. | |

No Sense of Humor: Yarad, being The Stoic of the group, but he subverts this one time by imposing uncharacteristically funny conditions on Ghinzel and Norf during the group’s game of Fools Stone Trump Stone in the chapter, Shelter of Ruins in Book Four. Doriel fits squarely in this trope, often seen scowling or scolding the Sheddlys for their flippant behaviour. | |

Forbidden Zone | |
| Dragon Calling / int_f651b980 | comment |
Forbidden Zone: The Labyrinth of Tears becomes this after the Illusionist takes over the territory and begins terrorizing/ snatching away any who venture therein. Darks Whelm is a place forsaken by the unicorns and left to its silent, perilous, ever-dark, although plucky adventurers have been known to try and traverse its dead woods — rarely, if ever, to return. The Void of Storm and Fire is also a domain strictly off-limits, for obvious reasons. And Laranen'Unok, a hallowed place of the dragons, cannot even be reached unless the path of Echoes Rift is trodden by one of their own. | |

Detect Evil | |
| Dragon Calling / int_f88bba7c | comment |
Detect Evil: Laeka’Draeon and his “prickling paws”. An inherent dragonic instinct is a sensitivity to the presence of corrupted manna, and while the trait has helped Laeka’Draeon with pre-emptive awareness of possible dangers, its erratic tendencies make it unreliable. That, and detecting corrupted energy does not necessarily mean the source is evil per se (e.g. his paws prickled at the approach of the morwulf wagons in chapter four of Book 1, Kin Seeker); although more often than not, it is. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Dragon Calling / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: A very strong theme throughout the series. Especially prevalent between the main cast; in essence, it’s the permeating element that brings success (or hope, during moments of failure) to all the endeavours undertaken by Laeka’Draeon and his companions. Some examples include: Laeka’Draeon proves time and again that his love and devotion to his companions is the core of his strength and his driving motivation to continue with his quest (even above his drive to find his family and restore his memories). Yarad’s redemptive arc would not be possible without the influence and friendship of the others, particularly Ghinzel. Shifra and Norf are not particularly close but their shared love of music leads to a few bonding moments, shown when they play their instruments together during times when the companions are recuperating from their travels. Ubi and Laeka’Draeon glean comfort and courage from one another regularly. Ubi’s trust and outward display of kindness and affection are important stimulations for Laeka’Draeon—especially during his downer moments of self-doubt, fear of failure, and losing control of his Fuls ov Kuvvasharrn. Shifra learns to let go of her prejudice and hate, due to Laeka’Draeon’s consistently courageous, pure, and honourable heart (and his persistence in wanting to befriend her). Norf really shows his fortitude when he throw himself into harms way to save Ubi from Az-Thorz’ enchanted bog. Also, when he chooses to stay behind and hold off the possessed statues inside the ocean cistern, rather than slow Laeka'Draeon and Shifra down and make their efforts to reach the Beacon Throne guardian's head more perilous than what it already is. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Laeka'Draeon is a kind-hearted, curious individual, with a trusting and compassionate nature, but is a frightening and savage opponent when tipped over the edge (particularly when he slips into his Fuls ov Kuvvasharrn mode). Maita is sweet, curious, and confident (not to mention sly), but has no qualms savagely clawing the face and eyes of the boss of the Trappers who captured her, or shooting electric barbs of raw manna at swooping harpies. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Dragon Calling / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: During the manorphis arc, Yarad's true identity is revealed, as well as the awful, heart-wrenching hurts of his past; his failure as a Warden and becoming an arch-apostate; his being cursed and left to roam as a vagabond; and, worst of all, the brutal murder of his beloved Eelyn and her family, that ignited his savage drive for vengeance against Starvos Wrathmere. Aena shares a part of Yarad's past, which is especially tragic from her point-of-view as she loses her entire family and home and is left orphaned to fend for herself. It is never explained how she ended up with the manorphis, but pretty much all of her life from Wrathmere's raid to the forzaeder doen with Yarad was spent in bitterness, loneliness, and hate-fuelled desire for revenge. | |
