After finishing book 1... Incomplete and unordered.


 * About Lim
 * She has a huge self-confidence issue. At first she follows Elen into the band of mercenary, wanting to do something greater than just ending up as girl from small town. But in the end, Elen is chosen as Arifar, and Lim can only support Elen by managing the troops and do administration works in Elen's leave.
 * When she meet Tigre, she took a liking for the boy who are having trouble because he's skilled only in archery. When Lim became his mentor in Leitmeritz, she hoped to be able to walk side by side with Tigre. But as with Elen, Tigre became a great hero in Asvarre, leaving her behind as a normal human.
 * Even after she received the Carnwenhan, she still doubt herself as anyone special. She initially thought she is given the sword out of convenience because she's close by (although the fairy told her everything is happening as has been ruled in ancient time)
 * Lim and Tigre's relationshio
 * Two years ago, Lim was sent by Elen, who has just became Vanadis, to scout the neighbouring territories, including Alsace. There she met Tigre and suggested the boy to try going to other country who will appreciate his skills, such as Leitmeritz. She also suggested Tigre to learn more about foreign language, besides, he's son of a noble so ability to communicate with foreigners is a plus.
 * One year ago, Lim arrive in Alsace as official envoy to Brune. She proposed a trade relation with Leitmeritz and even offered to build a fortress for Alsace troops to watch over the road if they are afraid of invasion. Actually, the previous Vanadis and old retainers all say Alsace is not even worth to conquer.
 * After seeing Tigre's skill with the bow, she agreed to take Tigre to Leitmeritz. Urs also asks her to teach his son ways of governing with Zhcted's way.
 * Lim still have to travel through Brune, so she and Tigre only return to Leitmeritz half year ago. At that time, Sasha has just passed away, and in her will she asks for Elen to take care of Legnica in her leave (at least until the next Vanadis is chosen). This means Tigre only meet Elen for a short while, when Lim brought reinforcement to fight back invasion from Asvarre.
 * Tigre respect and wants to be close to Lim, although he probably doesn't think of it as love yet.
 * Lim = the older sister girl next door who is your private tutor & first crush.
 * Tigre and Lim helps Guinevere under hope the victories can spread out and eventually reach Elen's ears, so she will send force to extract both from Asvarre.
 * About Guinevere
 * Likes to travel around the kingdom as her escape from her future of being wed to another noble for political purpose.
 * If the Guinevere in Michelia is like a Valkyrie who took sword and lead army (her idol is Zephiria), Guinevere here is shown more in her folklore researcher side. The part about giving headache to others by her action that could endanger herself is still the same.
 * Guinevere's faction
 * Guinevere = figurehead. Tigre = "Dragon Killer", the figurehead leader of army. Lim = Command the army, deal with administration works, do soldiers training, manage logistic. Just the usual thing she does for Elen.
 * Lynette, daughter of Duke Britain. Guinevere's childhood friend and fellow Knights of Round Table folklore researcher. Helps Lim to deal with paperworkds. First to propose Tigre, although she's doing it mostly for political reason (locking Tigre to Asvarre and Guinevere faction)
 * In Asvarre, the King has very strong position. In comparison, Brune's king is weaker than the nobles (such as Thenardier and Ganelon), while in Zhcted, the Vanadis' position is very strong.
 * Fairies
 * Lim who are captured by dragon, and Tigre, arrive in Asvarre because Morgan, a fairy, caught interest of the human who clings to dragon's back.
 * She felt Tir Na Fal's power in the Black Bow and said she would have treated Tigre better if she had known he is successor of the bow, to avoid the goddess' wrath.
 * Morgan gave Tigre a ring made of her hair to mark him as her property (within limit of Tir Na Fal's tolerance). She said it would invite good and bad things, so Tigre's life will never be boring.
 * When Tigre responded as long as it draws all trouble to him and keep his friends save, Morgan said she might become seriously interested in Tigre, and really scared Tigre.
 * Actually he words are ambiguous, sometime she said Tir Na Fal, other time "that person", or even just "that (thing)", so she might refers to multiple entities. But if the same, there's possibility Tir Na Fal was born in Asvarre.
 * About the items
 * They're generally classified as Divine Tools (神器)
 * Lim's swords are Carnwenhan, nor Bargren as initially suspected from the promotional picture. It's given by Asvarre's fairy.
 * Guinevere has a yet unnamed wand that can create barrier.
 * The enemies uses red-black weapons. According to myth, they're made by evil fairies by sealing the Red Dragon and split its power into five weapons. The known form are Sword, Arrow, and Axe.
 * The historical Percival uses sword and lance, but he is given an axe.
 * The evil weapon consume human soul, and eventually its own user. So the only known way to defeat them is prolonged fight and let the weapon kill its own user.
 * About King of Arrow
 * Androgynous, unclear if he's a male or female.
 * Control dragons, and because he rides on black dragon, Guinevere suspects him to be Zhcted's Black Dragon King, although Lim consider that as an insult against Zhcted's founder.
 * He told Artorius, unlike Artorius' case, his goddess (Tir Na Fal?) is whimsical about giving blessings, so Tigre is not necessarily his descendant.
 * About the resurrected
 * Artorius (Seo writes his name as Artorius) is revived without the lower part of his right arm. Guinevere who opened her ancestor's grave found a piece of Artorius' bone left inside and still in pristine condition.
 * King of Magic Bullet, who was not among the Knights of Round Table works as Artorius' knight, although he do things as he likes because after all he too was a great hero in his time.
 * Percival cares a lot for the people of Asvarre and his troops, but merciless against those whom he sees as enemy. According to Artorius, ever since back then he is not the type who can lead an army, better left to roam around on his own.
 * Sasha is also resurrected, with a dark fairy weapon similar to Bargren.
 * Tigre and Lim can't understand the strategy of Artorius' faction who already send fleet against Zhcted and preparing invasion to the continent despite still not completely conquering the Asvarre island.
 * The evil fairies are not friend of demons.
 * The King of Magic Bullet leads Asvarre fleet to exterminate demons hiding in Zhcted. He even said it would be troublesome if the Vanadis allies themselves with the demons.
 * Meanwhile Percival finishes his old feud with Torbalan.
 * Back in the past, the Knights fought Torbalan, but the demon managed to escape to the continent. Artorius who still need to protect his newly created kingdom does not allow his knights to chase and exterminate demons in the continent.
 * Sir Lancelot disagree with Artorius and left the court to go on his own to the continent. He never returns.
 * Guinevere thinks that part is strange. Normally, founder king and his companions are treated as flawless heroes. Artorius and the Knights of Round Table are even worshipped as deities. Yet, the story about Artorius and Lancelot breaking up is preserved.
 * The idea to pit Tigre and Lim against the Knights of the Round is from Seo.
 * Because Kawaguchi mostly only explore the coastal area, Seo wants to tell the war in the inner region of Asvarre island.
