[[BlatantLies Such is what the]] [[http://lordofdragons.wikispaces.com/ Lord of Dragons wiki]] claims. In truth, ''Lord of Dragons'' is a wiki-based parody of high fantasy novels, [[FollowTheLeader inspired by]] PennyArcade's [[http://elothtes.pbworks.com/ Epic Legends of the Heirarchs: The Elemenstor Saga]] wiki. It was created because Air Of Mystery and co-writer [=4rcit4=] wanted to write something with no established canon, whereas if they wrote in [=ELotHTES=] they would have to follow existing rules. ([=ELotHTES=] did rather kindly [[http://elothtes.pbworks.com/w/page/Lord-of-Dragons put up a short article]] about ''[=LoD=]''.

* UnpleasableFanbase: Oh boy, does ''Lord of Dragons'' have one.

* ContinuitySnarl: The [[http://lordofdragons.wikispaces.com/Dagoranian+dating+system Dagoranian dating system]] is so needlessly complex, when coupled with the many examples of SeriesContinuityError it's impossible to know what happened when.
* DisContinuity: Several books have officially been declared DisContinuity, to the point where all copies of ''Emperor Supreme'' were to be burned, save for the one in Smain's personal possession, any copies received on [=EBay=], and the copy in the library of the Vatican ([[MoralGuardians the Pope considered the novel to be satanic]], [[HypocriticalHumor despite him claiming it 'really had a cool front cover']]).
* DragonRider: The Dragonlords, naturally.

* UnpleasableFanbase: Oh boy, [[strike: would ''LordOfDragons'' have one if it wasn't fictional]] does ''Lord of Dragons'' have one.
