!Knights of the Everflame contains examples of:
*AlwaysChaoticEvil: All undead. [spoiler: particularly tragic in the case of their leader.]
*{{Beneath the Mask}}: A literal example: Ikyulys never takes his mask off, and pretends to be fearsome and antisocial. [[spoiler: He's actually a handsome Half-Elf seeking inner peace.]]
*{{Blood Knight}}: Ikyulys claims he "just wants to smash." [[spoiler: In reality, he's looking for his father's assassin.]]
*{{Conscription}}: Lucky and Lysonn joined the army to avoid serving time in jail [Lucky for horse thievery; Lys' crime is not mentioned.] Tariel was forced to join by her parents, again for unspecified reasons.
*CorruptPolitician: Kessen's Mayor Ventnor is unhelpful, at first not even heeding the warning of the incoming undead army. [[spoiler: Later he tries to flee town with his riches but he is caught and is kicked out with the barest of supplies.]]
*{{Familiar}}: Morclid, Holgast's owl Familiar.
*{{Guest Star Party Member}}: The Wizard Holgast.
*HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Holgast dies during the first siege of Kessen.]]
*{{Manic Pixie Dream Girl}}: Both Omelete and Linneus.
*OurGodsAreDifferent: Omelete worships the spirits of her ancestors. She can see them on a polished stone she carries, but no one else can.
*PunnyName: Omelete was named that because of the old saying "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" (turns out her parents kept desperately trying to sire a boy to carry the family legacy, and after 13 girls, they gave up.)
*{{Ragtag Bunch of Misfits}}: The party is composed of: Ikyulys, a grim masked Champion; Lysonn Shorbuckle, a Halfling Ranger with a French accent; Omelete Stonebreaker, a female Dwarf Barbarian with a Scottish accent; Tariel Windhaven, a female Half-Elf Bard; and Linneus Lennon, an odd-looking female Half-Elf Cleric (a sixth member, a Halfling thief named Lucky Longfinger, [[spoiler: soon abandons the party.]] )
*ThePowerOfFriendship: The Knights not only become friends, but they also help overcome each other's insecurities.
*{{Reasonable Authority Figure}}: Several examples: Lieutenant Elysund, the Knights' commander; Father Prass, Kessen's main cleric; former Mayor Jonark Uptal; and Arnama, a Female Ranger.
*{{Scatterbrained Senior}}: Holgast appears unfocused and has trouble remembering things, as if he were going senile. He's quite powerful, however [[spoiler: It turns out he has memory problems because he's learned too many spells.]]
*ShoutOut: Linneus has a collection of beetles -both living and dead- in her dress. They are named after The Beatles.
*TownWithADarkSecret: Inverted- The town of Kessen was founded by the hero of the same name and his tomb is used for harmless adulthood initiation trials. [[spoiler: The citizens are unaware that it contains The Everflame, a powerful artifact against evil.]]
*{{Zombie Apocalypse}}: A small scale version, as something -apparently a Lich- begins creating thousands of undead monsters.
