Fjerda is Scandinavia. The Hedjut are likely based on the Nordic Sámi people and other Arctic populations. | |

Fantastic Rank System | |
| The Grishaverse / int_54451d1 | comment |
Fantastic Rank System: Ravka has two armies: the First Army, comprised of otkazat'sya (non-Grisha humans, Ravkan word for "the abandoned") and the Second Army, comprised of Grisha. In the First Army, one can be a soldier, cartographer, or tracker. Within the Second Army, Corporalki are the highest ranking followed by Etherealki (with the exception of summoners who get special treatment) and then Materialki. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Grishaverse / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Although some Grisha look down on the rest, there is a mistrust, fear, and jealousy of their power. Grisha are often used, discriminated against, oppressed, and even hunted. The Drüskelle are a violent anti-Grisha cult. The Darkling's raison-d'être is to free the Grisha from oppression and servitude. Bardugo, who is non-practicing Jewish, loosely based anti-Grisha sentiment on antisemitism. Which would make the Drüskelle... | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| The Grishaverse / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Most of the cultures in are based on real-life ones. Ravka is Tsarist Russia of the early to mid 19th century. Even its history of having been scattered provinces that unified is reminiscent of the Kievan Rus' of the Middle Ages, which preceded a united Russia. The Lantsov family crest, a double eagle, closely resembles that of the Romanovs. The Suli are more of a Culture Chop Suey, most closely resembling the Romani with Jewish, South Asian, and Persian influences thrown in. Kerch is clearly Dutch, with the capital of Ketterdam a clear stand-in for Amsterdam. Novyi Zem is loosely inspired by the American colonies and Australia with some African influences. Fjerda is Scandinavia. The Hedjut are likely based on the Nordic Sámi people and other Arctic populations. The Wandering Isle is Ireland. Shu Han is China and Mongolia. | |

Color-Coded Wizardry | |
| The Grishaverse / int_61cd6e2b | comment |
Color-Coded Wizardry: Grisha wear robes called kefta, which are color-coded depending on which class they belong to: Etherealki (blue), Corporalki (red), and Materialki (purple). Servants wear white and grey. The Darkling is technically an Etherealki, but only he can wear the color black. | |

Magitek: Grisha talents aren't just for the battlefield—Fabrikators create new technology, while Squallers maintain breathable air in submarines and Heartrenders revolutionize medicine. | |

Medieval Stasis | |
| The Grishaverse / int_8f37b | comment |
Medieval Stasis: Averted. While initially Ravka is stuck technologically due to having a giant monster-filled wall of darkness across the middle of the country while also fighting a war, other countries are undergoing industrial revolutions. As soon as the Fold is gone Ravka rapidly begins to catch up under Nikolai's guidance, using Magitek to create submarines, airships, and mortars, among other things. | |

Gender Is No Object | |
| The Grishaverse / int_a627a930 | comment |
Gender Is No Object: The Grisha make no distinctions between gender. The Dregs, and presumable other gangs of Ketterdam, also seem to follow this principle. Most notable are Inej and Nina, handpicked by Kaz to be part of the Dreg's inner circle based on skill alone. A cursory look at names of minor Dregs features some women as well, and later on one of the snipers that ambushes the Crows at the docks is a young woman. It is mentioned Nina could have become a mercenary. | |
