Tropes:Ways of Darkness

Tropes applying to the franchise in general include:
 * : Don't believe me? Just look at the four categories: canon, legacy, non-canon and player.
 * : Most Demons, with a few noteworthy exceptions.
 * : See Early Installment Weirdness at the FRPG tropes page.
 * Etrand is clearly modelled on Medieval Europe (mostly France, England and Hungary), and to a lesser extent, the Roman Empire (continental hegemony, military powerhouse).
 * Etrancoast/Hulra is inspired by the Dutch, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings.
 * Froturn is... Romans-Byzantines (proud and ancient civilization that influences everyone else culturally), with a hint of English (constitutional monarchy)
 * Neressa is... Byzantium meets Sassanid Persia meets Ancient China? The city itself an obvious reference to Constantinople.
 * The Ancient Lizardman Empire was a civilization meets Ancient Rome, and to a lesser extent Mesopotamia. The current Lizardmen are a lot like Native Americans.
 * The Wood Elves of Dragoc are like a mashup of Celts, Native Americans and Japanese... sorta.
 * : More or less.
 * : More or less.
