* NamedWeapons: Aside from Ned's Ice, Denys Drumm, leader of the group of Ironborn attacking the Mormont fleet, carries a Valyrian Steel sword he calls Red Rayne. Maege Mormont initially thinks her daughter Dacey killed Drumm, giving her the chance to claim it, but Dacey confesses that though she was fighting Drumm at the moment of his death, he was actually killed by CAN gunfire. Maege agrees to keep it for them so its succesion can be sorted out.

** Lilian Ward is an obvious one to [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Mei Hatsume]], down to how she enters the story and her penchant for making her inventions explode.



* GivingRadioToTheRomans: The [=CAN=] give certain small advancements to the North as goodwill gestures, though they deliberately avoid giving them technology that is too advanced for them.

* StayInTheKitchen: Catelyn unfortunately plays with this role. Since she's used to presenting a perfect, prim lady, she's paralyzed when others' actions don't jibe with her worldview. When Aurora discusses trade with the Mallisters and the Lannisters, which she considers it a violation of the feudal agreement and a terrible idea in general, respectively, she stays silent and seethes, not realizing that the idea was presented mainly out of pragmatism and a relative value of innocence, respectively, instead of immediately clarifying the misunderstanding.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Catelyn's hit by this when discussing trade with the CAN, and contrary to her expectations, considers initiating trade with Houses Mallister and Lannister. This is both borne of relative naiveté and pragmatism, since they have are new to the local politics and seeking the easiest and most productive trade routes (the Mallisters control the best non-Ironborn port in the Sunset Sea side of the Riverlands, and they have no idea of what the Lannisters are considered like), and not helped at all by Catelyn's silence.

* BoringYetPractical: Yes, there's gold to mine in the North but the mines aren't in the Mollen and Hornwood lands. What these lands ''do'' have is an abundance of maple trees, which allows for maple syrup exploitation. After tasting the syrup and learning how to use it for cooking, Lord Mollen is perfectly happy with this liquid "gold".

** The whole knighting business completely bemuses the CAN as they have grown beyond the KnightInShiningArmor stick. Still, they accept it in order to integrate -- only for Marcus to shock Robb by mentioning the Terran knighting involves ''slapping'' the recipient.


Added DiffLines:

* ValuesResonance: InUniverse, Jon Snow departing for Whitehaven to integrate within Aurora's cadre is well received by both sides -- the CAN see it as recruiting a native to smooth the tensions with the local people, the Westerosi are used to lords making alliances by sending their children as pages or squires to each other.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Aurora was perfectly happy as an archivist and as such is deeply stressed by her newfound responsabilities as Commander. Adding to that is the fact she was granted the position because her father ''died'' and some of her advisors dismissing or blatantly rebelling against her.

* BrutalHonesty: Marcus gives a lot of this toward Robb in Chapter 14, pointing out, in order, that Theon is unsuited to be the ruler of the Iron Islands, that Theon's relationship with Ros is not love, and that there is a possibility that Robb might not end up in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage.



** Catelyn is left aghast when the CAN considers trading with House Mallister over House Tully, as the former are sworn to the latter and not making this agreement without the Tully's approval is a major breach of feudal conduct. She's further enraged when the CAN expresses interest in trading with the Lannisters (though given what the audience knows about the Lannisters, this is more forgiveable).

It is a crossover between ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' and ''VideoGame/CivilizationBeyondEarth''.

The story follows the Confederation of Arctic Nations, an OriginalFlavor sponsor, as they try to find a new home in Westeros, while dealing with all the problems the world has to offer.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Catelyn comes off as this, mostly due to the fact that her interactions with the CAN is through Jon, Ned's bastard son (at least as far as she knows).
