** OurDragonsAreDifferent: {{Magnificent Bastard}}s capable of powerful magic and the only thing that stops them from rampaging willy-nilly are the ancient Contracts they agreed upon with Vanadian heroes who later became the rulers of particular countries. Well, aside from the Slavian king Piastun, who slew the dragon Ash and ended up with his whole country cursed instead. Also, Garwitnir, the dragon of Alfheim, transferred his soul into a mechanical body after being mortally wounded in UsefulNotes/TheGreatWar. Further East, the Dragon Emperor of Shang-In slumbers, leaving the Empire to his Empress Dowagers, and the island nation of Ozumu still has to battle [[{{Kaiju}} the savage Genbaku.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Purgatory? It's the DeathWorld stereotype of Australia cranked UpToEleven.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Purgatory? It's the DeathWorld stereotype of Australia cranked UpToEleven.up to eleven.



* UpToEleven: '''Everything'''. This even might be the very reason why the game ultimately failed to gain any real fandom or following - all the elements of the setting are such massive exaggerations, it's impossible to take them as anything else than obnoxious and unfunny, if not just offensive.

TRS has renamed Our Elves Are Better to Our Elves Are Different. Link changed accordingly.


** OurElvesAreBetter: At fencing, mostly. Elves are long-lived and their racial advantages are based on their charisma and ImplausibleFencingPowers. Since they live for a long time they can gather wealth, and are aristocracy in many countries. Since they're sensitive to ColdIron, they have literal BlueBlood.

** OurGnomesAreWeirder: They're still great technomancers, but [[SpaceJews isolationist and often discriminated against]]. WordOfGod states their culture mixes Nordic and Orthodox Jewish influences, and with their homeland of Thule remaining more or less a frozen wasteland, they're eternal outcasts.
