This story deserves a lot of praise for managing to turn what, at first glance, seems to be one of the most generic and predictable fantasy plot-lines into a tremendously enjoyable and original work, mostly because of the author's superb world building, and the stunning amount of realism and attention to detail in both the military and political arenas. Its like the fantasy equivalent of Hard Sci-fi.

It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. Things were going very well: business was booming, he is on good terms with the [[FeudalOverlord local lord]], the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice, and best yet, he met a beautiful young widow with the prettiest eyes . . .

* AwesomeMomentOfCrowing: In Magelord, Duke Rard IV has one when he becomes King Rard I

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome:Irionite/Witchstone this incredibly rare form of amber has the power to amplify magical energy by a ridiculous degree. It is so powerful that just owning a piece basically makes you more powerful than every non-irionite owning mage on the planet.

* LivingLieDetector: Lesana from "the road to Sevendor" is a magical sport whose powers compel those around her to tell the entire truth, against their will. To say she is BlessedWithSuck is an understatement, in fact her desire to have her "curse" removed is the motivator for her short story.
