Duchess Orobelle is the knot that holds the universes together. This is the legacy her late mother left her: if she dies, all reality would come to an end. She sits at the centre of a trouble history between four noble houses, the Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades, which together claim land in three universes as their own. For all twelve years of her life, Orobelle has grappled with plots foisted upon her by the Diamond Duchy's history of attempted coups and interfering with the House of Hearts' line of succession.But none of the plots so far have been quite like this one. One night, she wakes up to the city centre destroyed, fifty civilians dead, and a ransom note hanging from her window that demands her life in exchange for the safety of her protector's niece, Freesia.Orobelle soon learns that this threat comes not from any of the three known universes, but from far beyond them. More news cascades in. The eight heroes of scripture, said to hold her power in balance, are determined by scientists to live beyond these three universes. A tunnel into a fourth universe is discovered.Orobelle decides she must gather the eight to defend her, and sets off to find them, each of whom lives in their own universe. None of them are aware that any universe other than their own exists, or know what their bizarre abilities entail. They are simply living out their lives, coming to terms with their strange powers, and trying to live in spite of them... | |

| Revolving Door / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: The four noble houses of the Queendom have a long history of secrets, Machiavellian plots, political violence and power struggles, all stemming from a card game that decided the succession five hundred years ago. | |

Alice Allusion | |
| Revolving Door / int_1da3a484 | comment |
Alice Allusion: Orobelle's world (actually known as Wonderland to some) is an intentional reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: people fall through tunnels into other worlds, the four noble houses are named after the playing card suits, reality is as malleable as the language that describes it, and Alice Liddell herself is an historical figure in the story. Orobelle in particular embodies the allusion, with her predilection to lolita-esque fashion and involvement in monarchial politics. | |

Humans Are Bastards: In terms of its outlook, Revolving Door does tend to look at how selfishness and cruelty have shaped every member of the cast, and how they've fended for themselves in worlds or communities where they cannot trust anyone else. That no one can be trusted to act selflessly, in particular, is the foundation of Liss' world view. | |

Scavenger World: Played with.

Everything runs on borrowed time however, as primary industries—in particular those relating to agriculture—have run completely dry. | |

Decadent Court | |

Decadent Court: The Four Houses of Wonderland, and many other royal and noble houses across it, are exceptionally prone to being this. It runs in the family. | |

The Chains of Commanding | |
| Revolving Door / int_caf8c66c | comment |
The Chains of Commanding: Vesper is very much aware of the overwhelming responsibility entailed by her leadership, and takes the blame for anything and everything that goes wrong under her purview. | |

Next Sunday A.D. | |
| Revolving Door / int_ce68d46b | comment |
Next Sunday A.D.: Pala and Fen's world is nominally set 20 Minutes into the Future, but appears almost indistinguishable to the present, partly due to the fact that all the relevant events so far have taken place in the developing island nation of Havaiki. | |

Days of Future Past: Adelaide’s San Francisco is an aesthetic patchwork of every major historical era and culture, with particular references to Mesopotamian cuisine and Greek architecture. | |

Britain Is Only London: All the important events that have happened in England so far have taken place in London. Somewhat subverted when the story explores Vesper's life growing up in Fairford. | |

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) | |
| Revolving Door / int_eb2eb10f | comment |
Istanbul (Not Constantinople): Marcia's world especially has a few nations known by other names in its version of history: most notably, as with the trope namer, the city of Constantinople retains its Roman name, and there exists an Islamic empire, known as Aslama, with active military frontlines with the God-Emperor-led Roman Empire. | |

Ensemble Cast: While Orobelle is nominally the main character, the story shifts its focus between the twelve main characters regularly enough that, in practice, the spotlight is shared quite evenly. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Revolving Door / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Hong Yi uses his gravity powers...to win at beer pong. Felix uses his photon powers...to create a fake profile image background. Vesper uses her electric powers...to retrieve small metal objects from under furniture (that is, until the army picks her up and trains her as a superweapon). | |

War Is Hell | |
| Revolving Door / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Played very straight with the backstories of Vesper, Artur and Liss. In all cases, war is shown to be utterly horrific, amoral and devoid of glory. None of them make it out without permanent psychological scarring and disillusionment. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| Revolving Door / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: Adelaide's world is set in a future rather reminiscent of the present, albeit with advances in IoT, AI and as well as a major economic crash giving rise to a number of socioeconomic differences, including the fact that the US is now an utterly corporation-controlled Techno Dystopia. Pala and Fen's world is nominally this, but in practice, it is more of a Next Sunday A.D. setting. | |
