Sword Princess Altina is a light novel written by describing life in the fictional counterpart country of Belgaria through the eyes of Princess Altina, and more specifically her strategist, Regis, as they struggle to bring an end to the that the nation is constantly locked in with its neighbors. Fans of will find a collaboration booklet between the two works.Tropes:.: Volume 7.5 takes the attention off Regis and Altina, and focuses on numerous background characters.: How the Overlord/Altina crossover is resolved.: Even among the named characters, the number of aristocrats who are not either evil or completely compromised by those who are can be counted on one hand.: Belgaria does have a powerful navy, even including ships that can match the firepower of High Britannia's top-of-the-line battleships, the 'princess' class. However, in order to do this, their design sacrifices speed, maneuverability, and most importantly range. Regis credits this, more than anything else, as the reason High Britannia utterly curbstomped them on the open seas and hopes that particular line of ships is retired from service. Especially after he deliberately sinks one as part of a gambit to lure the Britannian fleet into a trap.: The world of the story is not a kind place. While some of the antagonists do have sympathetic motives and backstories, and even a is not unheard of, most of the antagonists are truly atrocious villains, and even the main characters often have to perform morally dubious actions to survive.: Combined with. The country of Hispania is a theocracy that originally held itself as the bastions of righteousness, and led by example, but slowly began to think 'since the other countries are not followers of our god, it's okay to steal from them.'
They then let themselves believe their armies are invincible both at sea and on land. In truth, their navy disguises itself as pirates and only attacks unarmed merchant vessels, in order to rob from them, and hasn't suffered losses in land-based battles because they've never had to fight on land before. The moment they face an actual fight, their upper eschelons run and hide and then turn to despicable means to deal with the enemy, that they themselves provoked.: All the royal courts shown are like this. Siblings attempting to assassinate each other to seize the throne is quite common in the story. The nobles bearing witness secretly take bets to see who would be the victor.: The war with High Britannia in volume 7 has numerous mutually hostile parties in Belgaria working together. Regis is well aware of this and acts accordingly.: There's the title character, Altina.
Princess Elizabeth in volume 4, and a few others.: The country of Belgeria is eerily similar to France or Belgium and has geography with its neighboring countries, Germania and High Britannia, that is very similar to the European geography relating to France, Germany, and England.: The empire of Belgaria has a truly glaring one, and it tends to punish any soldiers who don't subscribe to the school of warfare by branding them 'cowards,' and treats them accordingly. This thinking leads to Regis being an several times, all ending in disaster.: Volume 7.5 reveals a group of fanatical High Brittania citizens, the 'Loyal Soldiers,' who are truly nothing more than a roving gang of thugs, abject failures in life, and resent those who aren't. Thus they spend all their time 'looking for someone to swing the hammer of 'justice' at.'

Her top strategist, Regis, is a hopeless who if sent to the front-lines literally trips over them, and is both a and to the point of timid shyness. They fall madly in love with each other.: Belgaria has a history of them, the most recent occurs in Volume 7, chapter 4.: Aside from Princess Altina, there are several other royal characters that take an active role in the story.
Her older brother Basitin and the former crown princess of High Britannia, Elizabeth are prime examples.: A subtle one to the Tales of the Arabian Knights is made in volume 7. Regis:'Well, not to the extent of 'tell me an interesting story every night or I'll kill you' like that person.' .: One of Regis's favorite tactics is to use explosives to make the enemy panic, breach a weak point in enemy defenses, or smash 'unsinkable' ships by hiding the explosives within places no sane enemy commander would expect. Oswald does this as well, but by using suicide bombers.: Regis has been on both ends of this. Volume two has Altina's regiment try to conquer an 'impenetrable' fortress, and at the start of Volume 5, he has to defend it when the country that originally owned it tries to take it back.: This is the ultimate fate of the people whose country is conquered, as highlighted by Regis in volume 5 and 6. They have no rights, their property is seized, their names are stricken from all records, and if they're lucky, they get to die quickly.: There are several in the story.
The most notable ones are sending Altina to the front lines to get rid of her, and when that fails, sending her to capture the 'impregnable' Fort Volk with less than one tenth the forces of the last expedition, which failed miserably. All the nobles, including the Emperor, are shocked when she succeeds, thanks to Regis's vastly superior strategy.: Without exception, all the villains in the story have this mindset. Some lean more heavily for the 'fun' aspect while others, like Prince Latrielle, lean far more heavily towards the 'profit' aspect.: Many of the soldiers shown have this mindset. In fact, numerous factions outright hate pacifistic leaders, no matter how good peace actually is for their nation.: A fact that the seventh division learns first hand in volume 5. This is not helped by the 'brilliant' strategy put forth by Vincent, and the condescending tone of their commander, who realizes too late that he should have put more faith in the main characters.: Aside from Altina and Regis, and to a lesser extent Latrielle, after some, military commanders in the world setting think the best answer to any difficulty is to just keep throwing more and more soldiers at a problem until it goes away.
