The Fateless One can use the strands of Fate they take from slain enemies to adjust their fate and give themselves whatever skills they want. Want to try magic? With enough Fate accumulated, it just so happens that you were fated to be a master wizard. Feel like trying out being a rogue? Huh, now

She either tells you to stop acting like a lovestruck fool or asserts that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she has no time for love]]. [[spoiler: In ''Fatesworn'', there's an entire set of Lorestones made by her chronicling her time spent in Mithros, with the last entry being a warm reminiscence of how she used to visit you during a vow of silence you undertook, and made you laugh with stories. She finally makes a re-appearance at the very end of the DLC to see you off, remarking that whatever destiny has in store for either of them, ''"This moment is yours... Ours."'' And in the DLC's ending cutscene, she's shown watching your ship depart... and appears to be following it, at least unseen from a distance.]]

* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The first half of the quest is rather simple: taking marching orders from the Hierophant in order and executing the heists she asks for. Once Grim Onwig reveals that the Hierophant is setting up Travelers to fail left and right, however, the rest of the questline shifts focus towards uncovering the Hierophant's identity and undermining her authority, but not without partaking in some jobs along the way.

* LastSecondEndingChoice: The ending of the Warsworn questline solely depends on whether you choose [[spoiler:to take Khamazandu's deal or not]]. Doing so earns the Fateless One the Forsworn Twist of Fate and the animosity of the Warsworn, while refusing to do so earns them a promotion to Truesworn status.



* ChekhovsArmory: Every one of the major items that you steal over the first half of the questline becomes instrumental in the second half of the questline, where the focus shifts towards undermining the Hierophant and uncovering their identity.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: The Fateless One becomes Archsage due to the fact that aside from the top members of the Scholia having been killed by Ciara Sydanus during the questline events (their predecessor included), the Archmage's actual job is to prevent the Dark Empyrean from breaking out of her seal again.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The seal on Ciara Sydanus' seal was broken when the Scholia put the Fateless One through their initation ritual. Because of their unique circumstances, the ritual didn't latch on to their magical potential but the strongest one available... which happened to be the Dark Empyrean's.
