| Tide Lords | comment |
Cayal, the Immortal Prince and one of the most powerful of the near-divine Tide Lords, was over eight thousand years old and very, very, bored. So he decided to get his head chopped off. His powers were at an ebb, so there was a slight chance it would actually kill him, but even if it didn't it would erase his memories, which was good enough as far as he was concerned. He killed a few people in a country known for its harsh justice system and love of beheadings, confessed to the crime, ate his last meal, and...The executioner was on vacation. So they hanged him instead.So begins a fantasy quartet by Jennifer Fallon set on the world of Amyrantha and focusing on the exploits of a group of magic using immortals known as the Tide Lords and especially Cayal, known as the Immortal Prince who wants to try and kill himself. The books in the series are: The Immortal Prince Gods of Amyrantha The Palace of Impossible Dreams The Chaos CrystalDo not confuse with Time Lords | |

Immortal Procreation Clause | |
| Tide Lords / int_1be36a63 | comment |
Immortal Procreation Clause: Immortals cannot reproduce with each other, but they can father or bear the children of mortals. These children are mortals known as Tidewatchers. New immortals are created by a person with an extreme will to survive is burned by the Eternal Flame, which Cayal had long since extinguished. At least, that's the official story. The truth, as Lukys revealed after Declan accidentally became immortal, is that anyone more than half-immortal by blood—that is, having an immortal ancestor as well as an immortal parent—(will to survive is irrelevant) who is burned alive (any flame will do) will turn immortal. | |

| Tide Lords / int_3ea7916d | comment |
Immortality Immorality: Kentravyon especially but all the immortals tend to be shockingly callous when it comes to the lives of mortals. They consciously do get better about this when they reach their new world, Earth. Though some of them still do things like start the Black Plague | |

Damsel in Distress: Arkady lampshades it herself, noting that she has rarely been in control of her life. Much of the series has her as prisoner of some kind and even did a stint as a slave. Even in the end as an immortal 65 million years later, she still needs to be rescued...from NASA | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Tide Lords / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: If they were only immortal, they'd be envied or regarded as freaks. Unfortunately all the Tide Lords have elemental magic to varying degrees ranging from making a strong breeze or small fire to obliterating continents with tsunamis and earthquakes. Besides the 4 traditional elements, the human senses are considered part of the elemental group, so a Tide Lord can make a person blind or destroy their equilibrium. | |

Fantasy Gun Control | |
| Tide Lords / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: Lampshaded at the end of the series, the Tide Lords don't like to have their business pried into so they deliberately limit the technological development of the world. They do this through starting fake religions or blasting nations back into the stone age at the end of the series, which takes place on Earth sometime in our near future, the Tide Lords are weary of the constant destruction and have allowed the Earth to progress without their interference. Technology reaches a point where books no longer exist and asteroid mining is viable. | |

Failure Hero: Declan may be an experienced spymaster but it seems his real talent lies in failing most of the time through a combination of bad luck, ignorance, and his own stubborness. His failures include the 'last battle' where the enemy win without even throwing a punch | |

Happiness in Slavery | |
| Tide Lords / int_a58802b7 | comment |
Happiness in Slavery: A Crasii has one of three reactions to immortals: Fawning and willing obedience, hatred that becomes fawning and willing obedience (since they are magically compelled to obey), and hatred that stays that way (since these ones are immune to the compulsion). They are also naturally subservient to humans in general, though their feelings on that vary far more. | |

Age Without Youth | |
| Tide Lords / int_a9317105 | comment |
Age Without Youth: Many of the Tide Lords think they are frozen in time biologically and point to the fact that they can only breed with mortals as evidence. The really old Tide Lords know differently. Tide Lords actually age extremely slowly, it takes tens of millions of years to equal a decade of aging for a Tide Lord. Unfortunately some Tide Lords are rather vain and that's what starts the whole mess in the first place. | |

Grand Theft Me: has a role in the plot of The Chaos Crystal. Among other things, Lukys needs the Chaos Crystal to transfer his lover's consciousness into a more suitable (as in "not a rat") body. Cayal uses the promise of a new body is as bait to get Elyssa's cooperation in their plans. | |
