The Dark Sea Annals | comment |
The Dark Sea Annals are a Heroic Fantasy book series by Christian author Wayne Thomas Batson. It follows the stories of many characters, all intertwined in a world where good and evil are in an eternal struggle for victory.The first book, Sword in the Stars, follows the story of Alastair Coldhollow, an ex-assassin who once worked for the Big Bad, but seeks to atone for his past by finding the Halfainin and saving his world from the grip of evil, while the noble King Aravel must contend with his wicked brother Morlan and the savage Gorracks.The second book, The Errant King, focuses on Lochlan, the son of Aravel, who in more interested in seeing the world and getting to know his people than in following his royal duties. Behind the scenes, however, evil of all kinds begins to rise, and soon Loch realizes that it is up to him to fix his father's mistakes and protect his people.The series is planned to be seven books long, with the third on its way. | |

Trapped in Villainy: The Spriggans that chose to serve Quevara, due to the only other alternative being death. One in particular, Vilnus Skevack, outright told her that he would follow her, but that he refused to kill his own kind. While she looked down upon such “weakness�, she was fine with it, as she preferred to kill people herself. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
The Dark Sea Annals / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Cythraul is an expert at these. Special mention should go to Morlan's Touch of Death. The victim's blood and skin turn black and begin to fester, boil, and rot, with their body heating up until they are literally boiled in their own blood. It's just as painful and squicky as it sounds. | |

Fusion Dance | |
The Dark Sea Annals / int_302730a | comment |
Fusion Dance: The ancient dragon Raudrim and the tyrannical Queen of the Hinterlands, Quevara, were merged into one form, Raudrim-Quevara. This form is of the Composite and Mixed-Form-Shapeshifter variety. Quevara's mind is dominant, due to her being human, but the dragon's treasure-hoarding, animalistic instincts often guide her into doing more bestial acts, such as slaughtering a whole herd of scormount just For the Evulz. Her body, however, can take on either a human or dragon form, or a composite, such as her human form morphing her arm into the dragon's claw to impale someone on her talons. | |

Differently Powered Individual: The Shepards, who are individuals (mainly human and Wayfolk) that are born with superhuman powers, usually of the Elemental Powers variety. Sebastian Sternbough and Mosteryn the Old are notable examples. If a Shepard is killed by someone, then the killer gains their ability, which both Morlan and Cythraul exploit to their advantage. | |

Mineral MacGuffin: Emberstones are gems that have magical properties, depending on the color. Green stones speed up healing processes on non-lethal wounds, blue stones purify drinking water, yellow stones give off light when shaken, etc. When the emberstones mature long enough they become vaskerstones and their power greatly increases. Black vaskerstones are the rarest, and can be used like a Crystal Ball to spy on and communicate with others. Morlan was in possession of the only known black vaskerstone (called The Eye of the North), which was made into a table. | |

The Dark Sea Annals / int_598c4d8a | comment |
A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Cythraul was once Xanalos, the friend and best student of King Ealden, but Ealden's incredibly strict standards of perfection were too much for Xanalos; no matter what he did, he was never good enough to please the First One, and thus he rebelled against all that Ealden stood for and began his decent into darkness. He was executed by the Wayfolk, but being Pureline, he came back and began his life as Cythraul. Ealden deeply regretted the unfair amount of pressure that he put his student under, and in the second book, he confronted Cythraul in order to apologize and offer him a second chance. Cythraul was too far gone into evil to be saved and he killed his former teacher. | |

Token Evil Teammate: Morlan was considered an ally to the Council of Myriad, due to being the High King's brother. While he was disrespectful of the First One and drew the suspicion of several leaders with his cunning ways, his Wolfguard were a valuable asset to Myriad, and he showed no signs of open rebellion (at first). Once he shows his true colors, however, he goes right into being the Big Bad. | |

Monster Mash: A rather terrifying version.

Golems, shades, banshees, and several other unnamed beings number among them. | |

Straw Misogynist | |
The Dark Sea Annals / int_abc28948 | comment |
Straw Misogynist: In The Errant King, Ariana lives in a wetland village that is led by a group of Elders, who are ruthlessly strict and are repressive of women, especially when it comes to the use of weapons. The High Elder Plebian Scandeer is particularly misogynistic, and viciously refuses to allow Ariana to compete in the Huntmeet, despite the fact that she is one of best (if not the best) archers in the area. He eventually gets a taste of humble pie when he is forced by tradition to award Ariana the Crimson Bow for killing the water serpent. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
The Dark Sea Annals / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: Morlan's plan. He first goads the Council of Myriad into starting a war with the Gorracks by sending out troops disguised as Gorrack soldiers to decimate villages, then bringing this to the attention of the Council and urging them to fight back. While Aravel and the other leaders are away at war, Morlan spys on them via The Eye of the North, sends his troops to Anglinore and begins gathering power for himself by killing specific Shepards. If Aravel is killed in the war, Morlan wins. If Aravel survives the war, he returns to a castle in Morlan's possession and Morlan kills him. If Aravel defeats Morlan in combat and kills him, Morlan will have succeeded in corrupting the image of his brother, and he could possibly come back to life via Sabryne's pact. If he doesn’t kill him, Morlan can play Xanatos Speed Chess on whatever fate Aravel has for him. This happens to be sending him across the Dark Sea, which is exactly what Morlan wanted. Morlan, who had never previously revealed his Shepard powers, gives his brother one last handclasp before boarding the Ship of No Return, and uses the wind-controlling powers that he stole to guide the ship once it is out of sight. Even while he is gone, Cythraul continues his plan by unleashing Raudrim-Quevara on the land, killing Alastair (the previous Spanner in the Works), and beginning experiments with necromancy to forge an undead army. The results of all this have yet to be seen. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the first book, Alastair impales Cythraul through his heart with the Star Sword, and leaves him for dead. Obviously, he gets better. In the second book Alastair does it again, but this time Cythraul recovers immediately by turning his flesh into stone and returns the favor. Unfortunately, Alastair does not get better. This is also one of Quevara’s favorite methods of killing, via her long talons. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
The Dark Sea Annals / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: This is explored with Cythraul. When he enters the Abode of Wights, he finds the last Queen of Grayvalon who was trapped inside and, due to also being Pureline, still alive in a body of flesh. She is crazed from the decades of solitude and begs Cythraul to kill her and end her misery. She shows him the only device that could kill either of them (a small pump filled with an incendiary power and a long needle used to inject it into the chest, thus burning their heart) and tries to take it from him, imploring him to kill them both, specifically because of this trope. But being the sadistic prick that he is, Cythraul decides that Living Forever Is Awesome and departs without killing her, leaving her to an endless life of crazed loneliness in a dark, empty cavern. It is hinted, however, that deep down he really fears ending up like her. | |
