* FantasticRacism: Northern Ergoth, the seat of power for Guerrand's family, has a prejudice against blonde, fair-skinned people, as most Northern Ergothians have dark skin and hair. This prejudice led Kirah [=DiThon=], whose mother had fair skin and hair which she inherited, to be outcast for most of her childhood, making her bitter towards her homeland.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Guerrand is accompanied on his adventures by Zagarus, his loyal seagull familiar.
* RichJerk: Riette [=DiThon=], Cormac's wife, is the heir of the Cuisset family, an old Solamnic family with a long history of knighthood, and thus she feels entitled to treat her subjects like crap. A particular favorite hobby of hers is commissioning craftsmen to make expensive things for her family, and then using the threat of having their shops shut down to get out of actually paying them for their work.

''Defenders of Magic'' is a trilogy of fantasy novels written by Mary Kirchoff and set in the universe of ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}''. The books are, in order, ''The Night of the Eye'', ''The Medusa Plague'', and ''The Seventh Sentinel''.
More than three centuries after the Cataclysm, the people of Krynn remains deeply suspicious of magic and witchcraft, and those who practice such arts are subject to persecution and harassment. This does little to discourage Guerrand [=DiThon=], the second son of an impoverished noble family. Faced with an unwanted arranged marriage, Guerrand runs away, setting out to become a mage, but soon finds that it's a dangerous vocation.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Cormac [=DiThon=], in spades. Most of the family's financial troubles are the result of his love of expensive wines and brandies.
* BigBrotherBully: Cormac treats his younger half-siblings like crap. He has a slightly better excuse than usual, as he was grown and had a family of his own when their father died, leaving him with three more mouths to feed from the family's depleting largesse.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: The first book follows Guerrand, an aspiring mage. The second book follows his nephew Bram, an aspiring herbologist.
* {{Tomboy}}: Kirah, the youngest of the [=DiThon=] siblings, spends much of her time having adventures either out in the woods on within the castle's many hidden passageways.
