Humans by Any Other Name | |
| Tairen Soul / int_1384ff11 | comment |
Humans by Any Other Name: The term human or even man is rarely used, instead they are called Celierian, Eld and especially mortal. The term "man" is occasionally even applied to male Fey. It should be noted, however, that the Eld are not truly humans, having unique traits such as their extended longevities. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| Tairen Soul / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: The race that are actually called Elves are most similar to Wood Elves. The Fey can be thought of as the High Elven equivalent. The literal Elves are so unspeakably arrogant that even the Fey regard them as nonsensical mystics. | |

Accidental Pornomancer: Ellysetta. She makes entire rooms full of people start having sex on the spot by accidentally using magic to make them feel her arousal, and repeatedly torments Rain by demanding sex when he'd sworn to her father that he'd wait until after the marriage. Afterwards, she's always blushing furiously and exclaiming that she didn't know what came over her. | |

Good Is Dumb | |
| Tairen Soul / int_375bb8f2 | comment |
Good Is Dumb: Rain feels that the Eld are building strength, and goes to tell the mortals in Celieria that. All he has for proof is...nothing. He is astounded when they don't just believe his gut instinct. Rain expresses outrage when he hears that Celieria was trading indirectly with Eld. (That is, they were buying Elden goods from merchants who acted as the middleman.) Never mind that Celieria was going through the equivalent of the Black Death at the time, and a key ingredient of the cure only grew in Eld. The ruling body of the Fey is so against using the forbidden soul magic, Azhran, that they refuse to use it even if doing so spells imminent destruction for the Fey and Tairen, and instant success for the Eld. When Rain is forced to use it to save Ellysetta, they declare him dahl'reisen and effectively launch a coup of the Fading Lands. | |

Power Perversion Potential: Tairen Soul characters freely indulge in all the uses for magic that most of the time exist only in the readers' imagination. Some examples include: removing clothes by magic, using Spirit magic illusions to experience sexual fantasies, exciting others with magic, spinning a weave over a whole crowd of assembled nobles that sends them all into a crazed orgy, etc. | |

Red String of Fate | |
| Tairen Soul / int_564c1500 | comment |
Red String of Fate: It binds Rain and Ellysetta, and boy does this cause some issues. Wilson doesn't shy away from the inherent awkwardness of this trope; after Ellie calls Rain from the sky and he recognizes her as his shei'tani, they still have to get to know each other, learn to trust each other, and fall in love with each other. Ellie spends a good chunk of the early narrative thinking that Rain is only with her because the matebond says he has to be, rather than loving her for herself. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Tairen Soul / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Between Ellysetta and Den Brodson. Rain later threatens the Celierian royalty with national war if they don't dissolve the marriage contract, and pays Brodson's parents a huge sum to make sure they don't have any complaints. In the second book, Talisa and DiSebourne. Interestingly enough, Ellysetta initially treats her relationship with Rain a lot like a non-dramatic version of this. Neither of them has any choice in the matter of who their truemate is, and while the Fey make clear that Ellysetta doesn't have to accept the bond, rejecting Rain will cause the magic to drive him insane. Until the end of the second book, she's convinced that Rain doesn't love her at all and that the main reason they're together is because it's what's best for the world. | |

| Tairen Soul / int_974b47a7 | comment |
Men Are the Expendable Gender: Fey women stay out of combat, and are protected by the male characters. Dying to defend a female is considered the ideal death for a Fey warrior. There are also legends of hundreds or thousands of male Fey dying to protect one female, and these are considered heroic and glorious. Justified to a degree by the fact that Fey women are completely unable to physically defend themselves due to their empathy, and are considerably fewer in number compared to Fey men, due to girls only being born to Truemated couples. | |

One True Love | |
| Tairen Soul / int_9c4003a1 | comment |
One True Love: Fey truemates. One thing this series does right regarding this trope, however, is making a distinction between "mates of the heart" (e.g. Rain and Sariel), non-truemates who nevertheless fall in love and choose to marrynote before Rain and Ellysetta, all married/mated Tairen Souls had bonds of this type, as it was thought impossible for a Tairen Soul to have a truemate, and "mates of the soul", or those who are truemates. Even after Rain finds Ellysetta, his feelings for Sariel are never trivialized. (In fact, it is explicitly noted in the text that a shei'tanitsa bond cannot form where an e'tanitsa bond holds sway. Ellysetta could not have called Rain if Sariel had lived and his heart were still bound to hers; that she did means that he has grieved Sariel and moved on.) A non-Fey example is Dorian and Annoura's Perfectly Arranged Marriage. After his death, Annoura finds a letter in which he describes his love and unwavering devotion to her — to the extent of calling her "shei'tani", the Fey word for soulmate — and both the narrative and Annoura treat his feelings as valid. | |

Ambition Is Evil: The Eld exemplify this. Rain even says that the reason why the Fey don't obsess over maximizing their magical power is because it would make them go the same way as the Eld. | |

I Am Who?: Ellysetta's parentage is ambiguous right from the start, until it is eventually revealed that she is actually a Fey, and a Tairen Soul, who was conceived by two renowned Fey who were captured during the Mage Wars and used as breeding stock by Vadim Maur in an attempt to engineer the ultimate Tairen Soul. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Vadim Maur intended to create a vessel for himself to inhabit, who would be supremely powerful in all magics and fully immortal. By creating the first female Tairen Soul, however, he singlehandedly provided the Fey and the Tairen with the means to escape extinction, and probably advanced gender equality more than anyone in the entire history of the Fey. | |

The Feraz witch, when taking magically powerful male prisoners in payment for Chemaz, mentions that she will return them in no time when Maur grumbles about wanting to use those men for breeding purposes. She obviously never mentions the condition they will be returned in, but she does rattle a bag of Chemaz. Turns out that it's made from their bones. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father: Zigzagged with Ellysetta's parentage. It is hinted at the end of the first book that Vadim Maur is Ellysetta's father. In the second book, Gaelen proves that Ellysetta does not have Eld blood, because she does not possess the Eld immunity to Sel'dor, meaning that she can't be Maur's daughter. At the end of that book, Vadim Maur reveals to Ellysetta that he is not her biological parent, but rather, the "father of her soul" having engineered her spirit to be born into his controlled breeding program with Azrahn. In the third book, it is confirmed that Ellysetta was born with her powers as a result of Maur binding a Tairen soul to hers in order to engineer a Tairen Soul. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Several instances, particularly when Rain is called out by the Elves in the fourth book. And was it really necessary for a powerful magical immortal (Rain) to get physical with a powerless mortal girl (Kelissande) because she was arrogant to his girlfriend (Elysetta). It implies that he doesn't think Elysetta can stand up for herself even a little bit, and it shows that he is petty and abuses his powers. When they're scheming against Vadim Maur from inside his dungeon, Shan tells Melliandra that while the Mages treat her like dirt, the Fey would honor and treasure her, since they're friends to all children. She responds that the Fey wouldn't welcome an Eld child, they'd kill her on sight. | |

The Unfettered: Many. Galad Hawksheart is willing to let anything happen-if only by proxy and manipulation-to make sure prophecies play out in the way they're supposed to, but he doesn't indulge or spare himself the slightest bit either. While Gaelen is able to feel all those things, he is fettered neither by Fey honor nor mercy, moral qualms or his own wellbeing in protecting the fading lands. Vadim Maur is pure evil and to become ruler of the world he's afraid of neither pain, nor powerful foes nor eldritch beings and he knows no pity. | |

Male Gaze | |

Male Gaze: Rain's POV means that the books have almost as much of this as they have Female Gaze. | |

Functional Magic | |
| Tairen Soul / int_dfe120e5 | comment |
Functional Magic: Fey magic is Force Magic that works by Elemental Powers and Inherent Gift. There is also Device Magic (magical items and Sel'dor), Rule Magic (many of Vadim Maur's rituals), and Theurgy (drawing on and summoning demons from the Well of Souls). | |

Mama Bear: Though she doesn't actually have children, Ellysetta responds fiercely to anyone she cares about being threatened. The female Tairen as well. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
| Tairen Soul / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Rain points out that Fey and other natural immortals don't have any problem with this, but mortals whose lives are unnaturally extended eventually become, "bitter." It's also shown that immortality even for them can mean millennia of living with growing pain and regret. | |

Allergic to Evil | |
| Tairen Soul / int_f53e50a7 | comment |
The Mharog are much, much worse. They exude an aura of evil and malice so pervasively that just standing near them is unbearably painful for empathetic Fey women, and the slightest contact with their flesh would instantly kill Ellysetta. | |

Altar the Speed: Rain and Ellysetta in the first two books. They're literally betrothed within days of meeting each other, and married within three weeks. Rain originally wanted to be married within three days. | |

| Tairen Soul / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Male Fey. Except when Rain threw Kelissande into the river (or rather tried to, as Kieran beat him to the punch) for making a rude comment about his and Ellysetta's public display of affection. He even tells her that he'll do worse if she doesn't leave them alone. | |
