Witch World is an early and influential Heroic Fantasy setting, created by Andre Norton.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the first volume, written in 1963, Simon Tregarth travels from America to Estcarp, on the Witch World, using the Siege Perilous, which sends people to the world that best fits them. There he discovers magic powers, and plays a leading role in a war against high-tech invaders from a third world.After one sequel, the focus moved to Simon's children, who crossed the eastern mountains to the land from where the Mage Species had come, and many old powers slept for good or ill.Norton also wrote books set on the continent across the sea, with little overt connection with the early volumes beyond the setting. Many of the later books were written in collaboration with fans of the original. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Witch World / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Common. In the first book, Loyse is ax-wedded (basically, a proxy wedding) to the Duke of Karsten for her wealth and relation to the old nobility. It takes her until the second book to actually meet him, since she flees Verlaine immediately after. The narrator of Year of the Unicorn is one of the virgins given to Were-Riders as payment for their help agains Alizon raiders. In The Crystal Gryphon alternating narrators Kerovan and Joisan were married at the age of 8, to strengthen Kerovan's inheritance claim. They were not expected to meet until both become adults — and until Kerovan decides to summon his wife. Even the marriage ceremony was held with a battle axe in his stead, as was the custom. Although Kerovan's odd looks played a role too. | |

Attack! Attack! Attack!: Kolder drones do this, due to being completely mindless. The first time he fights them, Simon is disturbed by the fact they apparently have no idea how to defend themselves. | |
