* TheGoodKing: King Rostevan is described as a great king. This legitimizes his decision to make his daughter Tinatin heir. It's [[HeirClubForMen unconventional]], but if Rostevan -- who has a track record of making good decisions -- thinks it's a good idea, it probably is.

It's a ChivalricRomance. The story centers on Avtandil and two [[TheQuest quests]]: the first to find the mysterious man Tariel, and second to play TheMatchmaker for Tariel and his love Nestan-Darejan.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Fictional Tinatin is clearly based on the real Tamar, the current monarch at the time. King George III has no sons, so he made his daughter Tamar his heir. So too is the case with King Rostevan and his daughter Tinatin. To avoid a SuccessionCrisis, both fathers have their daughter begin ruling ''while he's still alive'', so that by the time he ''does'' die, it's already settled. George made Tamar co-ruler and they ruled together as a ParentChildTeam for 6 years until his death, when she became sole ruler. Rostevan appoints Tinatin as the next ruler, then abdicates. Both Tamar and Tinatin rule under the title [[SheIsTheKing "king"]].
