Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Sharra's Exile[]

Fridge Brilliance[]

  • In the novel "Sharra's Exile" from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, there is a part when Lew Alton goes into the Hali chapel searching for the Sword of Aldones. While he is there, he sees a woman - he doesn't know if it is the corpse of an actual person or merely something like a wax figure - with long red hair. He also notices something odd - the woman appears dead (and "as if she had been dead for many years"), but seems to be breathing somehow. Well, at the end of the book "Stormqueen!" set hundreds of years before these events, the red-haired character Dorilys was laid to rest (though she was still technically alive) in that very same chapel, so that her powers wouldn't be a danger to anyone anymore. It was not until I reread "Stormqueen!" after reading "Sharra's Exile" that I realized that the woman/corpse/figure Lew saw was Dorilys. -Jo Thirteen
