''The Tainted Grimoire'' is an AlternateUniverseFic based on ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' where we still follow the adventures of Luso, there is still a book which records his journey and he still joins Clan Gully, '''BUT''', in this story, his older sister is Frimelda, that paladin that joins you in the game and there are many original characters and cameos from other works. The world of this story is also far more fleshed out than the one in the game.

-->--'''Luso''', at the end of Chapter 2.

* AmazonBrigade: Clan Falzen, who were introduced at the beginning of the St.Galleria arc.* ArrangedMarriage: Is part of the plot of the St. Galleria arc.
* {{Backstory}}: Several were given.

* [[spoiler: BodyguardBetrayal: Twice]].

* ConcertClimax: The climax of the St. Galleria arc takes place at a major wedding.
** JustifiedTrope: That wedding is an important plot point during the St. Galleria arc.

* CurbStompBattle: Has happened and probably will happen again.

* [[spoiler: DirtyCop: According to Barley, Khamja has informants within the ranks of the Jylland Defenders of the Peace]].

* {{Flashback}}: Several:

* MeaningfulName: Many

* AmazonBrigade: Clan Falzen, who were introduced at the beginning of the St.Galleria arc.
* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. They can be very useful. Specific instances:
** Luso wore the Flame Robe which made him immune to Fire-based attacks during Clan Gully's [[spoiler: attack on Khamja's base]].
** Vili once had to battle a Bangaa Defender who was almost completely covered in armor, forcing her to come up with a creative way to defeat him as the armor made most of her attacks ineffective.
** Crow once had to fight Gertie while she was wearing Mirror Mail which reflected magic attacks (a big advantage since he's a Black Mage). [[spoiler:He had to take advantage of the Reflect fields short range and Gertie's metal hammer to win.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Is part of the plot of the St. Galleria arc.

* SkeletonGovernment: Averted, just look at [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4318613/41/The_Tainted_Grimoire Chapter 41]] where we see a huge gathering of nobles and/or politicians to discuss political matters, as well as an explanation of how the Jylland Defenders of the Peace operates in relation to the clans, explaining that all clans must register new members as well as keep a log of achievement and accomplishments.

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Sometimes played straight, sometimes averted/subverted.
** Played straight: [[spoiler: Crow]] took time out to explain how a certain spell was possible during a duel with Luso.
** Averted/subverted:
-->'''Luso''': I still can't believe you blew up our wagon...
-->'''Adelle''': Well...I'd like to think of it more as...saving a life...
-->'''Sir Loin''': IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND, WE COULD USE SOME HELP HERE!

* BadAss: Several characters are this, be they good or evil, for example [[spoiler: Judgemaster Cid Randell, aka the strongest man in Jylland]], Illua who showed '''some''' of her power in the '''first chapter''' and Ensei Rou, who defeated 120 mages, '''without taking any damage'''.
