* WrongGenreSavvy: Deposes Esmenet thinking that he needs to gain control of the New Empire to forestall its collapse. Afterward he concludes that this is fallacy, that the utility of the Empire ended once the Great Ordeal marched.
* YourHeadAsplode: Collapsing in the face of [[spoiler:Inrilatas with a bone-crushing punch]].

* RedHerring: There are plenty of clues in the first book that Maithanet is a Consult plant—specifically a skin-spy. This is Achamian's theory as well. Maithanet ''is'' a part of a larger conspiracy, but he isn't a Consult agent.

Added DiffLines:

* AGodAmI: As Emperor of the Nansurium, he's officially a god in human form. Half the time he seems to believe it himself.


Added DiffLines:

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While not as smart as he thinks he is, he's also not as stupid as he looks. Other characters sometimes note that it's all too easy to underestimate him.


Added DiffLines:

* GladIThoughtOfIt: Whenever one of his advisors makes a really good point, it invariably turns out that Xerius was ''just'' thinking that same thing, even if he was espousing the opposite point five seconds ago.


Added DiffLines:

* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's supremely skilled as a military commander, and in any other age he'd probably have become a great conqueror. It's just his bad luck that he was born into a time filled with people and events that completely dwarf him.

Rated M For Manly is about masculine works as a whole


* RatedMForManly: Cnaiür strives to be as masculine as possible. Most of it is an act to compensate for the shame of his homosexual desires.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: the Scarlet Spires capture Achamian and torture him; then they capture and torture his best friend Xinemus, putting out his eyes. Once Achamian manages to get free, the lot of red-robed bastards and their lackeys die burning and screaming.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Tells Cnaiür that they are both "brothers"—superior humans to their fellows. Cnaiür laughs in Conphas's face.



* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:From Kellhus's perspective. He claims that once Moënghus comprehends the facts of his damnation, he will come to see tyranny in what is holy and war against judgement just like the Consult]].
