* GodWasMyCopilot: This happens twice to Bold Riley: [[spoiler: the goatherd]] turns out to be the titular Blue God (a patron deity of Prakkalore, it turns out), and [[spoiler: Galliroh]] turns out to be the patron god of [[spoiler: Ang-Warr]]. Although in the second case the icognito god in question is clearly not normal [[spoiler: being as he's a bird who can talk and has power over rain]], and it's implied that Bold Riley knew he was a god from the start, but was just messing with him by pretending to not know who he was.
