Arcadia: Anleacán. Éirime is even called The Shepherdess because she comes from Anleacán. |

Fantastic Rank System |
| The Fall of the Sea People / int_54451d1 |
comment |
Fantastic Rank System: The City has three tiers of ranks; Novice, Veteran, and Immortal, with eight levels in each. The Fantastic Honorifics are simple: someone in a higher tier is addressed as "Lord/Lady", and the Mentor is addressed as "Mentor". But peasants address all of them, including the Mentor, as "Lord/Lady". |

Humans Are White |
| The Fall of the Sea People / int_5526b660 |
comment |
Humans Are White: Averted. Many of the characters in the City are recognisably of other races, and several are described as mixed-race. It appears from the description of the Favourites that the Mentor prefers other races to the dominant Celtic type. Justified in Anleacán, which was designed and created by a white teenager. |

Pygmalion Plot: Literal example, with Aclaí as Pygmalion and Éirime as Galatia - with Anleacán for her pedestal. Then she is Selected and he never speaks to her again. |

Cool Sword: the weapon of choice of the Sea People. Just having them made of metal makes them advanced weapons technology in the setting, but they also have battlefield communications and are used to direct magical attacks. |

Distant Prologue: Although it is all set in the time of Atlantis, the first chapter is set about 900 years before the rest. Despite this, the main character of the prologue is also a significant character in the rest of the first book. |
