* SceneryPorn: The maps. Dear God, the maps - thanks to the asset packs of Gabriel Pickard and David Hemenway (and the incredible effort Will puts into putting the maps together), a lot of the maps in Ebon Ward hardly get enough credit for being absolutely gorgeous. Special mention goes to the maps for The Keep in the [[FanNickname 'Ebon War']] arc.

oops messin w/ the spoiler warnings


* ABirthdayNotABreak: Happens in the case of Mia, a girl from Suino's hometown. It's her seventh birthday on the day when the player characters arrive, and also the same day where ||the entire town is taken hostage and almost turned into ghouls.
* AFatherToHisMen: Out of the four Ebon Ward leaders we’ve seen before, three of them fall into this trope. The South characters (eventually) outright say that the Duchess is like family to them, the Matriarch is shown to be a motherly old woman who regularly bakes for everyone in the East, and, while it’s more downplayed in his case, the Baron also seems to care a lot about the members of North. Remington, however, does not follow this trope.

* DarkFantasy: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] While the setting and background plot events are certainly dark, the player characters tend to be rather silly. Add to that things like the [[spoiler:Pie Association]] and Z'erbert the Hip Old Drow and you've got fantasy of a lighter shade.

* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:The first adventure features a man brainwashed by [[ItMakesSenseInContext an evil tree]] into thinking he is making clay sculptures to help [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor 'put his town on the map']]. [[HybridMonster What he's actually sculpting]] [[FleshGolem is kidnapped townsfolk.]]]]
* PapaWolf: Garron Everlyn plays this trope straight with his protection of Andrin - so much so that he’s willing to [[spoiler: risk losing his position as a Judge just because someone was insulting her.]]
* PutOnABus: With the nature of the players having different characters they can switch between, this happens every so often: Bossanova and Zephyra [[spoiler: conveniently going to the surface after the Kragmurr’s Fissure arc]] is an example of this, and extreme note should be given to Musty Mccaw, who was a player character for all but three episodes and then ran away to do his own thing.

Remington, however, does not follow this trope.
* AlliterativeName: Particularly noticeable with the player characters: Maze Myers, Suino Songfury and Dia Diadem, to be exact. Musty Macaw, Mysterious Musket Master takes this up to eleven.
* ArcWords: Two words: Doctor’s Orders.
* AuthorCatchphrase: The question and answer of “What happened last time on Ebon Ward?” And “Last time on Ebon Ward…” respectively, almost always used to open the episode.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: Eugene Verger. A loud man who’s cursed to [[EvilIsHammy always have one hand gesturing dramatically and a mansion that is constantly being rained on]] … also an accomplished scholar who regularly studies highly dangerous magical items.



* ChekhovsGun: Will, in particular, is an absolute master of this trope - particularly mention goes to [[spoiler: the Hangman Tree Spores]] being introduced in Episode 3 [[spoiler: being used to control Jamie]] nearly 60 episodes later.

* DarkIsNotEvil: The whole purpose of the Ebon Ward - outcasts from society who would normally be considered 'evil' (such as gnolls, werewolves, and tieflings) trying to protect a continent that shuns them.



* HappilyAdopted: Such is the case for Redpath and Suino.
* KnightTemplar: The Keepers, being an organisation of Paladins who have fallen from grace and resorted to more brutal and harsh tactics. Dia outright tells a Judge that, to some people, the Keepers coming to their town means death if they don't listen to them.



* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Ebon Ward's declining numbers have left them pretty desperate for members, no matter how quirky they might be. It shows.
