* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAce The Ace] (Ethan)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysChaoticEvil Always Chaotic Evil] (played with somewhat but undead and demons in the world of Eberron seem to be genuinely as bad as people think them to be---except Mayalanthas)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArmorIsUseless Armor is Useless] (Siber is constantly described as going shirtless and wearing nothing but mundane clothing in battle.)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadAss Bad Ass] (Trent)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander Cloud cuckoolander] (Maya)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMonsterGirl Cute Monster Girl] (Too many to list)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkIsNotEvil Dark is not evil] (Kael to a large extent.  To a larger extent is the subtle theme that no one can get anything good done in Eberron without getting their hands dirty)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ElegantGothicLolita Elegant Gothic Lolita] (Muffin, Fury, Erandis D'Vol)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FaceHeelTurn Face Heel Turn] (Melissa and Lindsey)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasyCounterpart Fantasy Counterpart] (Thrane is Spain, Breland is USA/Britain, Aundair is France, and Karrnath is pretty much Ruritania) 
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoYay Ho Yay] (A running gag with Cassius and Trent)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheKingdom The Kingdom] (Caer Shadowfast)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsNotGood Light is Not Good] (Pyriel remains the quintessential example as does Cassius to a lesser extent as the "evil" Paladin)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MadeOfIron Made of Iron] (Fracture, Patch, and probably several others)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Lolicon Lolicon] (Marie is a hilarious example of this)

* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool Rule of Cool] (Siber can defeat Daelkyr and gods through this. Patch managed to defeat the Lord of Blades in hand to hand combat)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRuri The Ruri] (Karin, specifically she's more a Loli BITCH than snarky)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ruritania Ruritania] (Karrnath and Shadowfast both) 
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SheIsAllGrownUp She Is All Grown Up] (played with in every conceivable level with Marie and her various identical twins.  Karin is a reverse of this, showing Thelia as a cute Loli)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheStoic The Stoic] (Fracture)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueArtIsAngsty True Art Is Angsty] (A defining trope of the game)

* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Wangst Wangst] (Pretty much anything involving Thelia.  Cassius used to be this way but seems to have gotten better)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremist] (The Lord of Blades, Pyriel, and arguably Cassius himself)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorfEffect The Worf Effect] (Cassius exists to get his ass kicked by the bad guy of the week)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WrenchWench Wrench Wench] 
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhiteHairedPrettyBoy White Haired Pretty Boy] (Cassius)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosRoulette Xanatos Roulette] (several examples but the most egregious being Pyriel tricking everyone into making him a Solar Deva, convincing Maya to give him her Divine Spark, and having everyone murder Zhengyi as well as Shadowspawn so that he could seize their power for himself to become a God)
