comment
The Immortals is the second series set in the Tortall Universe. Veralidaine Sarrasri, more commonly called Daine, is a a thirteen-year-old girl on the run from her past. She has a "knack for animals" that borders on the supernatural, attracting the attention of Numair Salmalín, The Archmage of Tortall. As he instructs her, they realize that her power may be greater than either of them can imagine.Meanwhile, a centuries-old barrier has been broken in the world. Fierce and mythical creatures known as immortals start to invade the human lands, and while many are benign, many begin to attack and prey on humans. Joining Tortall's efforts to deal with the sudden menace, Daine finds herself caught up in a conflict that spirals far out of the mortal scale.Not connected to the 1995 action movie of the same name.A character sheet can be found here. Beware of spoilers. Wild Magic Wolf-Speaker Emperor Mage The Realms of the GodsNumair's backstory is expanded on considerably in The Numair Chronicles, which calls back to this series frequently.

Relationship Upgrade
 The Immortals / int_161f1ebf
comment
Relationship Upgrade: The Realms of the Gods has Daine and Numair getting together. There was some minor foreshadowing to this point, but the fact that Daine was in her early teens and Numair in his late twenties, and her teacher, had Numair in utter denial initially, though he was jealous of younger men interested in her. Once he did figure it out, he was incredibly reluctant to bring it up, even after Daine reached sixteen.

"It" Is Dehumanizing: Daine tends to refer to Immortals she's met for the first time as 'it', even though she does note that there are identifiably male and female Stormwings. After meeting her first dragon, she corrects her human friends that the dragon is a she.

Artistic License – Biology: At one point, Daine angrily says that wolves never eat people. This isn't completely true. It's not normal for wolves to eat human beings, but they've been known to do so (or try) if unable to catch their natural prey, and will scavenge bodies more readily.

Full-Frontal Assault: Stormwings don't wear clothing beyond a bit of jewelry and hair ornaments, so are bare chested. When Daine learns Voluntary Shapeshifting she can't take her clothes with her, so this is an issue with her as well. The most spectacular example coming at the end of Realms; thanks to constantly shapeshifting to the point of magical exhaustion Daine is wearing nothing but her Badger claw during her final confrontation with Ozorne. The scene is so intense that neither of them mention it, and the reader barely notices it.

Gone Horribly Right: At the end of Emperor Mage, Daine and Rikash force Ozorne to turn into a Stormwing, and they both believe that despite Ozorne having a clumsy head start Rikash will catch up and get control of him, but it turns out Ozorne's an Instant Expert when it comes to both flying and Stormwing magic. In the next book, Ozorne has taken leadership of several Stormwing clans, used his immortal powers to create a network of spies and very nasty magic killers, and makes a deal with the ruler of Chaos that comes close to destroying the divine and human realms.

Wrong Context Magic
 The Immortals / int_1b9df446
comment
Wrong Context Magic: Wild magic is treated like this in-universe. In fact, one of Daine's greatest advantages over her opponents (the human ones, at least) is that they either don't believe that wild magic exists or that it functions like the regular Gift that most human mages have. As a consequence, her enemies repeatedly attempt to hamper or disrupt her with methods that would work on the normal human Gift, but end up having zero effect on her wild magic. The biggest example is when Emperor Ozorne kidnaps her and places her in a special room meant to completely neutralize human magic, but Daine's wild magic isn't even the slightest bit inconvenienced by this and she proceeds to escape without much trouble (once she calms down).

comment
Poor Communication Kills: Daine's parents didn't inform her of her true parentage and tell her anything about her powers until several years after her mother died, leaving her to blunder around alone and nearly drive herself insane with her half-god powers in the meantime. They were both on probation due to the whole new-goddess-and-guarantor thing and couldn't visit the mortal world easily. Her father tasked a badger god with keeping an eye on her - the badger checks in on her a few times when she's a baby, then loses track of time and doesn't talk to Daine until she's fourteen. Even then he's coy about her situation.

Amputation Stops Spread: In Wolf-Speaker, a mage cuts off her hand when she gets a drop of "bloodrain", a potent magic poison, on her skin. Had it reached her bloodstream, she would have rotted inside out. (And this is why you wear gloves in chemistry, kids.)

Ozorne and Kaddar of Carthak are quite active too, although Kaddar thinks his uncle should pay more attention (read: any) to their people's welfare.

Ambiguous Situation
 The Immortals / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: In Emperor Mage, Rikash gives Ozorne a Stormwing feather and tells him "If ever you are in peril of life and throne, take this feather and thrust it into your flesh. When it mixes with your blood, you will fly from your enemies as if winged with steel, and escape beyond the Black God's reach for all time." Did Ozorne know this would turn him into a Stormwing? Immediately after he does, the Stormwing queen he imprisoned says he'll face justice at her claws and he's horrified, but when told he no longer has his magic he gasps that he has Stormwing magic. The feather appears when Rikash strikes a deal with the Graveyard Hag which suggests that it's specifically magicked by the goddess to have this effect. Published decades later in Tortall: A Spy's Guide, Daine says that any shed Stormwing feather can turn a human into a Stormwing. Rikash also mentioned that "most humans" who transform into Stormwings find it liberating.

Parents as People
 The Immortals / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Most of Daine's memories about Sarra are positive and they're both thrilled to be reunited in Realms of the Gods, but reading between the lines you wonder if she was actually all that responsible or sensible a parent. One of the first things we learn about Sarra is that she spent Daine's entire life periodically testing her for The Gift, either ignoring or oblivious to the fact that she's given Daine a minor complex about not having it. Then there's Daine's continuing trauma of being a bastard in a medieval society, and in a small town for her whole childhood - which wasn't Sarra's fault at the start, but she never acknowledges what it's done to Daine. Then there's the implications that Sarra was an Ethical Slut, which wasn't considered acceptable in her home village, making Daine's place in society even worse and it's definitely affected Daine's view on romantic relationships. When Numair hints at marriage right after they acknowledge their mutual feelings, her first thought is that "All her life, she'd been told that no one would ever want to marry Sarra's bastard". There's more than a few implications that Sarra was a Bunny-Ears Lawyer, being something of a ditz outside her work as a healer and the work she enjoyed around the house and garden - Daine's pov and even Sarra's dialogue implies that Daine looked after Sarra as much or more as Sarra looked after her, which isn't a healthy thing to burden a child with. Not to mention the hypocrisy of a woman who was murdered by bandits, leaving her thirteen year old daughter to find her mutilated body, telling her off for fighting and killing while in the middle of a war, because "that's not women's work" . When Daine meets her father, he's much like any of the other gods worshipped by humans. Not as bad as the Greater Gods, but rather indifferent to people. While he cares for Daine, he doesn't understand her Carnivore Confusion and thinks she's soft and sentimental. Pain and suffering can trouble gods but it doesn't burden them as it does humans - when Daine says that maybe it should and that that would make the gods kinder, he scoffs and says that tenderness is bad for mortals and they grow strong through struggle. Daine thinks he sounds like the kind of human who says poverty leads to a nobler soul as an excuse to not help someone.

Trilogy Creep
 The Immortals / int_22c41566
comment
Trilogy Creep: The quartet was originally planned out as having three books. Emperor Mage has the fantastic spectacle of the undead dinosaurs, and ends with the Big Bad transformed into a form that leaves him without his magic or political power, then flying laboriously off with Rikash in pursuit. The fourth book takes place almost entirely in the Divine Realms and dramatically raises the stakes with the sudden introduction of Uusoae.

Chekhov's Gun: Every book in the quartet has at least one, however, the prize probably goes to the Badger God's claw, which he gives to Daine in almost the first chapter of the first book so he can keep track of her in the mortal realms. As a part of a god, it seems to be made from solid silver. She wears it as a pendant and finds that when she shapeshifts, unlike the rest of her clothing it stays with her. In the climax of the last book, Daine uses it to kill Ozorne the Stormwing.

Tampering with Food and Drink
 The Immortals / int_2317bc85
comment
Tampering with Food and Drink: When Numair dines at Dunlath, the mages serve him heavily-drugged wine. Expecting just such a trick, he uses sleight of hand to get rid of it. Kaddar has an enchanted bracelet that neutralizes drugs and poisons in his food and has saved his life five times by the time he explains it to Daine. Ozorne feeds Daine pomegranate juice heavily dosed with dreamrose to get her out of the way - he is genuinely fond of her, and thinks that their shared interest in his animals means she'll rapidly forget what he's doing to her human friends.

When the moment actually comes Ozorne is transformed permanently into a Stormwing, all of his injuries healed, all of his human magic inaccessible.

comment
Animal Espionage: When she's upset Daine's magic causes all animals in her vicinity to forget their own priorities and attack anything she feels threatened by. While she soon learns enough control to try to stop them, they're still compelled to want to act in her defense, and it's easier on her if she can give them things to do - starting, in Wild Magic, by having them spy on foes. This gives her allies major tactical advantages when it comes to, say, soldiers moving covertly at night. No matter how good they are, bats and owls know something's up.

Heart Is an Awesome Power: Daine can talk to animals. She proves on many occasions that, since she can do it at a distance, speaking to animals gives her huge advantages in war and intrigue. For instance, animals will spy for her and she can prevent an army from marching as they have no edible food, no water, no horses, and hardly a strap of leather or piece of rope that hasn't been chewed through; a logistics nightmare.

Does Not Know His Own Strength: Numair, magically speaking, especially when compared to the Queenscoves in Protector of the Small, who require incredibly precise control in their healing. In a variation on the trope, Numair is perfectly aware of his strength and its limitations, he just can't control it because he's trained himself in big, power-consuming spells his whole life and doesn't have the precision needed for small things and is openly envious of "lesser" mages. Most mages can use magic to put out their candles; Numair has to get up and blow his out because if he used his magic he'd blow up the candle, as well as the table it was on and the wall behind it.

Hot for Student / Hot for Teacher: Daine and Numair. Daine had reached the age where she would be considered an adult and was no longer Numair's student before she even realized Numair liked her, and Numair himself seemed initially reluctant when Daine brought it up. Numair himself didn't realize he was in love with Daine (both would have happily admitted to platonic love years before) until she pressed the issue.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Usually media involving a Friend to All Living Things who's regularly perched on by numerous birds etc won't have the animals make messes, unless it's a gross out moment Played for Laughs. Daine's animal friends streak her clothes, hair, and skin with filth on a regular basis and she, as someone who's loved and taken care of animals for her whole life, has basically no reaction to this and touches feces without hesitation. She's only bothered when realizing that another human who'll be disgusted will see her, or when she realizes that she's forgotten to take off a beautiful garment and now it's ruined.

You Dirty Rat!
 The Immortals / int_475d592d
comment
You Dirty Rat!: To a degree, rats get the standard trope treatment even in these animal-advocate stories — they are vicious, dirty, and generally unpleasant. But those aren't their only traits. They're also very independent-minded, demanding that Daine offer them something in return for their help, whereas most animals are eager to help her whether or not she asks. This fits their place as animals closely associated with the Graveyard Hag, who is among other things a goddess of chance and bargains (as well as death) and rather enjoys messing with people. A indirect example in The Realm of the Gods; Malady of the Three Sorrows takes the form of a huge, ghostly rat that licks people, who then fall sick - and streams of smaller ghostly rats pour from their mouths and infect others.

Humans Are the Real Monsters
 The Immortals / int_4ac8b81f
comment
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Stormwings were dreamt up by a human in the hopes that their depredations (Stormwings defile the bodies of fallen soldiers rather than let them be honorably buried or treated with reverence) would discourage war by subverting the idea that there's anything glorious about it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work most of the time. Rikash points out that if humans would just stop waging war, there would be no war dead to desecrate and they'd go away. It's not the Stormwings' fault that they'll never be unemployed. (Well, not the fault of the Stormwings who actually follow the rules on these things.)

Stalking Is Love
 The Immortals / int_4b8932a4
comment
Stalking is Love: Numair stealing a lock of Daine's hair when she's bed-ridden with unicorn fever tends to be called out as creepy even by people who don't mind the age gap. It does have a specific magical purpose (it's part of a magical tool that acts as a homing beacon, something Numair feels a strong need for after Daine is kidnapped and imprisoned during Emperor Mage; but even Daine is uneasy about it and her POV says outright she wouldn't like anyone but Numair to have it, given what an enemy could do with it.

Green Aesop: In Wolf-Speaker, Tristan and Yolane think nothing of exploiting the land to get at the black opals, leading to more then a few animals to become very angry over the loss of their homes. Daine tries to talk them out of it by "thinking selfishly" and pointing out that in a few generations, the land will be so ruined that they'll be beggared trying to support themselves. (They don't listen.)

The Emperor: There were bad omens on the crowning of Emperor Mage Ozorne. He spends the first two books covertly behind attacks on Tortall while pretending innocence, and reveals his culpability in the third book, when Daine and company come to Carthak to try to negotiate an alliance. Ozorne has barred people from worshiping their gods, wanting any of that effort and money to go to benefiting himself, which is a very dangerous tack for a ruler to take in this setting. Transforming into a Stormwing means being barred from his throne, but Ozorne then allies openly with the Queen of Chaos, trying to angle for power over mortals.

Cats Are Mean: Most of the cats present are quite nice. In Wolf-Speaker two bonded palace cats are nothing but helpful to Daine, even attacking a Coldfang when she's cornered. Queenclaw's voice, when Daine tells the animal gods that they must bring Scrap back to life, is cruel and she tells Daine the gods aren't at her beck and call, but also as it happens she thinks a kitten deserves another life.

Animal Stereotypes: Wild magic, anyone? A number of them are also purposefully broken. Almost all the animals that appear in the books are portrayed positively, with Daine overturning humans' prejudice about many species traditionally seen as evil, such as wolves, hyenas, bats and crocodiles. Rats, however, are not so lucky (see You Dirty Rat!!). Daine also comes to dislike whales.

Author Appeal: Pierce likes teen girls pairing up with older men. After the outcry over the fourteen-year age gap between Daine and Numair (later retconned to twelve years), she said she'll try for smaller gaps in the future. However, many of her books still have characters saying that "normally" characters as old as the protagonists or younger (Kel is fourteen when this is said of her) are married and having children. A less notorious example: Pierce loves animals and Action Girls.

Involuntary Shapeshifting/Karmic Transformation: Emperor Ozorne is turned into a Stormwing at the end of Emperor Mage. Immortals are incapable of holding mortal office, meaning Ozorne immediately loses his throne, and they also can't use the mortal Gift, leaving him more or less powerless for some time until he figures out Stormwing magic - though it seems that his training in human magic gave him an advantage, as he figures that out very fast.

Please don't piss Daine off. At worst, otherwise you'll be dealing with skeleton zombie dinosaurs crushing your palace. Perhaps less dramatically, if Daine's in the form of a giant bird, don't follow close behind her. Just... don't. She empties her bowels into the face of a winged ape, which inhales and chokes on it.

Altar Diplomacy: Part of the negotiations between the Carthaki Empire and the Tortallan delegation in Emperor Mage go sour because Emperor Ozorne tries to secure a marriage between his nephew Prince Kaddar and the Tortallan Princess Kalasin, who's only ten years old at the time, and for her to immediately come to Carthak. King Jonathan and Queen Thayet do expect her to marry for the benefit of Tortall, but are averse to arranging such a match before their daughter could be reasonably expected to have any marital preferences. Kaddar and Kalasin actually do get married eventually, but only after Ozorne is dead and Kaddar is running the country on his own terms.

Jerkass Gods
 The Immortals / int_73f7975f
comment
Jerkass Gods: The Badger God, and the other animal gods that Daine meets, are mostly quite decent, but this series firmly establishes that many of the more powerful human-shaped gods are not nice beings. The Banjiku were given their wild magic by their gods and purportedly are slaves at their gods' will, but another god tells Daine that the Banjiku's creators actually never meant them to be slaves. Daine's mother has been raised to the status of a minor goddess who helps people in a small area with childbirth, illness, and matters of the heart - besides her, the kindest human-shaped god shown is Gainel, the god of dreams, who's good to Daine and Numair but likes that unleashing the Immortals on the human world causes humanity to have a lot more nightmares. In comparison, Mithros considers sealing the Immortals away again because their return has caused humans so much difficulty, but Gainel and the others persuade him against it. Also, despite Daine having saved the gods and both realms from being devoured by the queen of Chaos, trouble follows her around, so Mithros wants her to choose immediately between staying with her parents in the Divine Realms and returning to the mortal realm, with no further passage allowed.

Heroic Bastard: Daine is illegitimate, as indicated by her matronymic "Sarrasri" from her mother Sarra, and this affects her and how others see her throughout The Immortals. However, in The Realms of the Gods we find out that her father is really Weiryn, a minor god of the hunt, and her late mother has gone up to join him since her death, becoming the Green Lady, a minor goddess of gardens and childbirth. Daine very briefly considers changing her surname to the patronymic Weirynsra before deciding to keep her old one after having been through so much with it.

What Happened to the Mouse?: So many people asked about what happened to the tree that became a man that Pierce wrote a short story about it, "Elder Brother", for an anthology; it's also reproduced in Tortall and Other Lands. It was never specified what happened to Varice Kingsford at the end of Emperor Mage. We can't even be sure if she knows her ex-lover is alive, seeing that we never saw them speak to each other after Daine told her to run.

The Magic Comes Back
 The Immortals / int_8b682bd5
comment
The Magic Comes Back: Magic itself already exists, of course. But the immortals, a collective name for all the immortal and fantastical creatures that show up, had been banished from the human world to the Divine Realms for over four hundred years. Not all of them are hostile (a number of them are sentient, and some wind up being enslaved by the locals when they arrive), but they cause severe disruptions in a world that needs to suddenly re-learn how to deal with them. These disruptions get more attention in the next quartet.

Ethical Slut
 The Immortals / int_8c170cb1
comment
Most of Daine's memories about Sarra are positive and they're both thrilled to be reunited in Realms of the Gods, but reading between the lines you wonder if she was actually all that responsible or sensible a parent. One of the first things we learn about Sarra is that she spent Daine's entire life periodically testing her for The Gift, either ignoring or oblivious to the fact that she's given Daine a minor complex about not having it. Then there's Daine's continuing trauma of being a bastard in a medieval society, and in a small town for her whole childhood - which wasn't Sarra's fault at the start, but she never acknowledges what it's done to Daine. Then there's the implications that Sarra was an Ethical Slut, which wasn't considered acceptable in her home village, making Daine's place in society even worse and it's definitely affected Daine's view on romantic relationships. When Numair hints at marriage right after they acknowledge their mutual feelings, her first thought is that "All her life, she'd been told that no one would ever want to marry Sarra's bastard". There's more than a few implications that Sarra was a Bunny-Ears Lawyer, being something of a ditz outside her work as a healer and the work she enjoyed around the house and garden - Daine's pov and even Sarra's dialogue implies that Daine looked after Sarra as much or more as Sarra looked after her, which isn't a healthy thing to burden a child with. Not to mention the hypocrisy of a woman who was murdered by bandits, leaving her thirteen year old daughter to find her mutilated body, telling her off for fighting and killing while in the middle of a war, because "that's not women's work" .

Took a Level in Jerkass
 The Immortals / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Sarge in the earlier set but later-written Tempests and Slaughter, where he goes by Musenda, is very careful, polite, and kind. In that book he is a slave, so it's dangerous for him to show a harsher side to Arram, a mage student in excellent standing with connections to the Carthaki royal family. In Wild Magic he's a free man with a good position training Queen's Rider trainees (as well as pages in Protector of the Small) and while he isn't cruel, he does shout and lightly condescend to trainees who aren't taking their lessons seriously.

Resurrective Immortality
 The Immortals / int_934eb07f
comment
Resurrective Immortality: The distinction between Immortals and minor gods, some of whom are quite minor, is that Immortals can be killed normally and gods appear instantly in fresh new bodies. Many minor gods are animals who are hunted and eaten by other gods, and may be annoyed at dying even if it's no big deal for them. Broad-Foot grumbles when the fish god he's just eaten surfaces to splash him in the face. When Daine and Numair traverse a swamp, they're pursued by many gods of mosquitoes, horseflies etc which are not quelled by being smacked and complain that the mortals are being selfish.

Fresh Clue
 The Immortals / int_969c0ac2
comment
Fresh Clue: In the second book Daine in wolf form tracks Yolene on horseback and notes that the horse's droppings are wetter the closer she gets. Traces of sweat and blood are also noticed as the horse's rider tried to drive her struggling mount on. In the third book, Daine turns into a hyena - which she notes as having an even stronger nose than a wolf - to track Emperor Ozorne through his palace as things go to chaos. He wasn't well shod for a chase and his thin decorative shoes wear out on gravel, so he soon starts to track blood and fear becomes a stronger and stronger element of his scent. Also, Ozorne had to defend himself with his magic at several turns. As Daine tracks him she finds his felled enemies, first burned and melted all the way through, then increasingly more intact as his reserves dwindled. By the end of the chase she's finding more blood from an enemy who managed to injure him before being killed, as well as sweat and sour exhaustion.

Daine's magic causes most animals to love her just from being in her vicinity. Whenever she asks them to do something they're curious to eager and often think it sounds fun; at worst, they worry that it will be scary or hurt but a single line of encouragement causes them to obey her anyway. If she's sufficiently angry or upset they'll attack whatever's upset her without regard for their own lives. Daine feels the pain of their injuries and deaths and hates sending her "friends" to die, but she quickly comes to expect that all animals will want to risk themselves for her, and when she asks for their help it's really just a nice facade over a command. She's furious when she asks a pod of whales with calves to defend her and her friends and they refuse, not willing to kill or be killed for her sake, and tries to force them. She also dislikes rats, who are only willing to help her if they get something for it. When she's Older and Wiser Daine considers the effect she has on animals more carefully and prefers to leave them to their own devices more, but in Tortall: A Spy's Guide she still resents whales for being able to refuse her.

Fake Kill Scare
 The Immortals / int_ae422bac
comment
Fake Kill Scare: Played with in Emperor Mage, when the titular emperor has a certain someone killed. This angers everyone's favorite Wild Mage, and she proceeds to call up some ZOMBIE DINOSAUR SKELETONS and every other living animal in the area, destroy a palace and most of the city, and do quite a bit more damage. When that certain someone shows up, proving to her that it was a magical clone of himself that had been killed, she cools off, answering "What happened?" with "I thought you were dead. I lost my temper."

Cosmic Plaything
 The Immortals / int_b15b6a35
comment
Cosmic Plaything: Daine gets some first-hand experience with Tortall's Jerkass Gods. The first time, in Wolf-Speaker, she objects somewhat on finding that the wolf god told her old wolf friends to get her to help set Dunlath right, so that it can be a place where humans, animals, and some Immortals live together peacefully. But she cares about the wolves and makes friends with some of the others in the valley, and the animal gods are relatively straightforwards about needing her help, so she's not bothered... ...at least, not nearly as much as she is in Emperor Mage. The Graveyard Hag is far more mischievous and callous, and has distinct plans for what she wants Daine to do as well as a much firmer grasp on the situation. She drips bits and pieces of information for Daine to pick up and likes to laugh at her and prevent her from talking about knowing the goddess is about.

Pierce likes teen girls pairing up with older men. After the outcry over the fourteen-year age gap between Daine and Numair (later retconned to twelve years), she said she'll try for smaller gaps in the future. However, many of her books still have characters saying that "normally" characters as old as the protagonists or younger (Kel is fourteen when this is said of her) are married and having children.

Demoted to Extra: If you read chronologically, Tempests and Slaughter comes before this quartet. That book is much longer and goes into more detail about numerous characters who appear in Emperor Mage in much smaller roles. Most notable is Chioké, who here is just the most prominent of Ozorne's loyal mages. Varice fares a little better but she's no longer close friends with Ozorne, merely a courtier and functionary of his. Lindhall actually gets more depth here than in Tempests and Slaughter, as he's actively working to smuggle slaves out of Carthak.

Amplified Animal Aptitude: This happens to any animals that spend a lot of time around Daine, especially if they get any of her blood in their mouths. She's not happy about it because they're not used to the sudden influx of intelligence and it makes their lives very complicated, but it's not something she can control. She realizes it's happening to the wolf Brokefang, who's experiencing a rushing-in of knowledge and awareness that he struggles to manage and keep up with - he knows that he and his pack-mates and children will die and that all other animals, and humans, are complex beings that do things for reasons that make sense to them. Daine feels that she's taken his innocence and he won't be happy as a normal wolf anymore.

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal
 The Immortals / int_bce728ca
comment
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Rikash served Ozorne because the king of his flock did. Said king had supposedly killed the previous queen, but in fact had struck a deal with the Emperor to have her imprisoned out of the way. Discovering this immediately shifts Rikash's alliances with regard to both of them. The darkings are Ozorne's creations made from his own blood. Since they were made in the Divine Realms, where children and creations are inherently independent towards their parents and creators, the darkings aren't bound to obey him as blood-creatures would be otherwise, so he causes them agony to control them. After meeting and being befriended by Daine, the darking later known as Gold-streak turns on Ozorne, and by making contact with other darkings is able to spread this rebellion.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: An unusual defied example in the last book. The gods give Daine the choice between this or remaining human (and being bound to whichever realm she picked). She chooses to stay human. Played straight with Sarra. Weiryn petitioned the other gods to let her become a minor goddess instead of going to the Black God. She's now known as the Green Lady and aids in matters of healing and childbirth in her old village and the surrounding territory.

Xanatos Gambit: Emperor Ozorne is cornered and injured by Daine and the hyenas, who The Prophecy had stated would bring about Ozorne's downfall. His choices are apparentely two-fold - either he accepts Kaddar's offer to abdicate and be spared, Daine and the hyenas get him. He tries to Take a Third Option by cashing in a favour from Rikash, who offered him one of their feathers which can supposedly allow him to escape from any danger, "as if on wings of steel". Of course, Rikash had anticipated this and never exactly said how it would allow him to escape - he's transformed into a Stormwing, and thereby stripped of his mortal throne and mortal magic, and placed under the jurisdiction of three vengeful Stormwings. He escapes, barely, and becomes more The Dragon to a much larger threat.

Hope Spot: This quartet was originally to be a trilogy, and Emperor Mage does seem to suggest a natural end - The Emperor, who's behind all the trouble in the first two books, loses his throne and magic and is pursued as a Stormwing by Stormwings. The palace is all but in ruins and the much more reasonable, peaceable Kaddar takes the throne. But, in the fourth book the Man Behind the Man suddenly shows up - Usoae, the Queen of Chaos - and Ozorne is still trouble, as well as Copper Islands and Scanran raiders and Carthaki rebels not pleased with Emperor Kaddar.

Nice Guy: Probably the nicest of the gods is Broad Foot, the male god of the duckmoles (platypi). Not only does he decide to accompany Daine and Numair on their journey based on only a brief friendly acquaintance with them, he takes basically one sentence of convincing to go to the mortal realm and attack one of the Sorrows for the sake of people he'll never meet. He's also just cheerful and good-natured.

Emasculated Cuckold: Yolene was cheating on her husband Belden. She and Tristan were openly affectionate in front of him, to the point where Daine, spying, thought he should do something, but the only possible sign that he noticed at all was that he drank heavily.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 The Immortals / int_ceec4df5
comment
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Daine. Once before the beginning of Wild Magic and later after finding out that Numair was killed. Sadly, the person her revenge was supposed to be directed at turned into a Stormwing and his innocent nephew had to pay the damages. Although the wreckage did make sure that Carthak doesn't neglect their patron Goddess, The Graveyard Hag again. Hard to forget when it takes years just to reconstruct the tax rolls; and who knows what she might unleash next time?

Refusing Paradise: The choice Daine makes at the end of the fourth book. Although she had promised Sarra that she would stay for a year or so long visit early in the book, when Mithros demands she pick one realm and stay there Daine doesn't have to think for long — she feels more at home in the mortal realm, where most of her friends are.

Stormwings are a race of harpy-like beings who live to desecrate the dead (in a largely futile effort to make people reluctant to wage war) and their feathers are made of sharp metal that can cut up birds, so Daine doesn't like them. Then she meets Rikash, who befriended the lonely Maura and reveals that they are fond of children, since their own fertility rate is low.

Sexually Transmitted Superpowers: Daine's mother used to be an ordinary midwife in a remote village, until she happened to have an encounter with the God of the Hunt during one of his visits to the mortal realm. It didn't kick in right away, but after she 'died', her erstwhile lover essentially helped her soul Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, making her the brand-new Goddess of Midwives. So now they're married in the Divine Realms.

comment
Our Dragons Are Different: They give birth to live young, are powerful mages that can fling fire with their forefeet, and change color depending on their mood, although each has a unique neutral coloration. The fourth book reveals that they're extremely political and can take decades to come to any sort of consensus, and are semi-divine. An adult dragon feels comfortable backhandedly defying Tortall's Jerkass Gods.

Wild magic does not fit within the rules of magic as laid down in Song of the Lioness. Hand waved by being subtle enough in most practitioners, who usually simply have an affinity with animals of a specific species, to be commonly disregarded as folk tale fodder.

Continuity Drift: Wild magic does not fit within the rules of magic as laid down in Song of the Lioness. Hand waved by being subtle enough in most practitioners, who usually simply have an affinity with animals of a specific species, to be commonly disregarded as folk tale fodder. Also the Immortals themselves. In the earlier Song of the Lioness quartet, there were few unusual or 'mythical' creatures. Some animals were uncommonly large and might be made more dangerous by sorcery, there is a being in the shape of a yeti who Alanna duels for the Dominion Jewel, and there's Faithful a constellation, not exactly a real cat. Otherwise if creatures like dragons are mentioned, it's with the implication that they are as mythical in the Tortall-verse as in our world. In The Immortals we find that these kinds of creatures do exist, but have spent centuries sealed into the Divine Realms — from where they are now gradually being released by the bad guys. Since there was no hint of their reality and imprisonment in the Song of the Lioness except possibly the murals in the dwelling of the Ysandir, we can assume it's a retcon, but it's actually done very well. The explanation for the creatures' appearance isn't a hand-wave, it's a major part of the series (which is why it's called The Immortals).

Our Gods Are Different: Some of the Great Gods appeared in the previous quartet, but the first one to appear in this one is the male Badger God. There are of course many gods of humans with many specialties. All animals, right down to gnats and midges, also have their own gods, made in their own image, with powers that are quite a bit more limited than the Great Gods'. It often seems that the less powerful a god is the less likely they are to be Jerkass Gods.

Friend to All Living Things: Deconstructed with Ozorne, who is popular enough with his animals, particularly his birds, but is otherwise a very, very nasty man. On the other hand, Daine is nature's friend through and through, and also wants to help and protect young humans. She even comes to this point with many Immortals.

Blue-and-Orange Morality
 The Immortals / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: This overlaps with Deliberate Values Dissonance, as Daine does not consider what is best for humans to be more important than what is best for animals - or even for Immortals, once she gets to understand them better. She's fine with hunting, but past that? She does conclude at one point that some of the predatory animals which she loves reduce her to tears with their hunting tactics, since she loves the prey animals as well, but she loves them still and doesn't consider them evil for having such natures. In the fourth book, she argues with the Great Gods that instead of trapping all Stormwings in the Divine Realms again, they should be allowed into the human world, irrespective of how peaceably they get on with humans, as even the monstrous ones can't help their natures. Daine doesn't think she should tell her friends that she wanted this, knowing that having to deal with Immortals, Stormwings included, has and will continue to cause humans a lot of grief and bloodshed. That's also the book where she's upset about encountering a tauros while bathing and having to kill it when, despite her warnings, it keeps pursuing her. Some of this is the threat it presented to her and her Ma, since in the heat of the moment she forgot that her Ma is no longer defenseless, but she closes the scene saying that it's not fair for the tauros, either - are there even any female tauroses?

Emperor Ozorne is cornered and injured by Daine and the hyenas, who The Prophecy had stated would bring about Ozorne's downfall. His choices are apparentely two-fold - either he accepts Kaddar's offer to abdicate and be spared, Daine and the hyenas get him. He tries to Take a Third Option by cashing in a favour from Rikash, who offered him one of their feathers which can supposedly allow him to escape from any danger, "as if on wings of steel". Of course, Rikash had anticipated this and never exactly said how it would allow him to escape - he's transformed into a Stormwing, and thereby stripped of his mortal throne and mortal magic, and placed under the jurisdiction of three vengeful Stormwings. He escapes, barely, and becomes more The Dragon to a much larger threat.

Blob Monster: The "skinners" from the final book — giant nightmare blobs made of Chaos itself that are immune to weapons and most magic. Daine and Numair are only saved from them when they're yanked into the Divine Realm. The darkings are a smaller, noncombatant, and rather friendlier version. Okay, they're Ozorne's spies, but they turn on him with a combination of Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal and Because You Were Nice to Me.

Mundane Utility: In Wild Magic, Daine uses her powers to manage farm animals and get a job herding ponies.

Bows Versus Crossbows: Averted. Daine is just as good with a crossbow as she is with the longbow even though she prefers the latter. In Wolf-Speaker two Stormwings mock her for using a crossbow, assuming that it's too short-range and slow-loading to be a threat, and she shoots both of them out of the sky with her eyes closed.

Then she meets Rikash, who befriended the lonely Maura and reveals that they are fond of children, since their own fertility rate is low. Lord Imrah of Legann is described as bald, with a large belly, hawk nose and pockmarked face, giving him a cruel appearance. Daine noticed him feeding one of the darkings, and when confronted, joked that it was a shadow of its former self.

Shown Their Work: The animal behavior in these books is very well-researched, and Daine's healing abilities require her to learn their anatomy so she doesn't botch the job. Particularly evident in Wolf-Speaker, when Daine is reunited with the wolf pack she knew at home. Just as you might be thinking how unrealistic it is for wolves to be able to strategise like this, Daine thinks the same thing, and concludes that they must have leveled up when they licked her wounds after she was injured.
