* AssholeVictim: Borys of Leyda was a terrible lord who made a deal to trade the non-noble children on his lands—who he was sworn to protect—to be eaten by Ladies of the Woods in return or their guarantee that his extramarital affairs would not produce any bastards.
* BadBoss: Borys regularly beats his servants, forbade anyone from going to outsiders for help with the things in the woods, beat and turned out Jan for asking ''him'' for help, turned out to have intentionally traded away the peasant children on his lands— the children of the people working for him and main his lands prosperous—so that his extramarital affairs would not produce any bastards, and tried arguing that they were "only peasant children" when confronted by his overlord, as if he had the right to do anything he wanted to them and can't believe there might be repercussions.
* BastardAngst: Borys of Leyda finds the idea that his extramarital affairs might produce bastards an annoyance and potential dishonor to his line, so-instead of being true to his wife-he makes a deal to trade ''all the children'' in his barony to some monsters to ensure he can have all the sex he wants without having to worry about any bastards.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Julita and the other children are quiet and terrified, with Julita in particular focusing on trying to help the other kids and be polite like her mama taught her to the Witchers in order to distract herself from her grief and keep from crying. Julita's POV even censors some of the things Geralt and Letho say to simply "a bad word".
* ChildEater: The Ladies of the Woods are eating the children of Leyda, and have stuck them in cages to pull from like a larder. They specifically made a deal with Borys in order to be able to eat children and laugh when their victims cry.
* CorporalPunishment: Lord Borys had Jan beaten and thrown out for his "temerity" in asking for aid, which Borys was duty and oath bound to provide, when Jan's daughter was taken and his wife brutally killed by the monsters in the woods, after Borys forbade anyone from going to outsiders for help.
* DealWithTheDevil: Borys of Leyda made a deal with the monstrous Ladies of the Woods to avoid having any bastards, though of course he wasn't trading anything ''he'' found to be of value to them in letting them eat the children of his barony.
* DeathByOriginStory: Roza's death helped push Jan into taking the arduous journey to Kaer Morhen. Believing his entire family to be dead there was nothin left for him in Leyda and he could beg the Warlord to rescue any children who might yet be saved.
* DeathOfAChild: While Jan received the unexpected joy of his own daughter's return the Ladies of the Woods did eat several of the children from Leyda. The only one of those who didn't make it to be named is Hubert.
* DecapitationPresentation: Geralt, Letho, Coën and Aiden present the decapitated heads of the monsters that had been plaguing Leyda to Jan upon their return to Kaer Morhen in order to demonstrate that their hunt was successful. To Jan's surprise Lord Borys' head is among them.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Borys seems to honesty believe that trading peasant children to be eaten in exchange or him getting to have sex without worrying about producing any bastards is a perfectly good idea and that it is his right to use the peasants on his barony any way he pleases. He tries using this explanation to avoid execution, but Geralt is disgusted by him.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: ''Live On a Hill Against the Sky'' comes from the Sara Teasdale poem "Lovely Chance".
* MamaBear: Roza went into the woods to try and save her daughter since there was no way lord Borys would be getting them aid and Kaer Morhen was more than a week's travel away. She was killed, but she fought first.
* NotHelpingYourCase: When Geralt demands that Borys of Leyda explain why he did not send for aid, forbade his people getting outside help and reeks of guilt after the ladies of the wood had taken the children of his barony. Borys's explanation is, ''"they were only peasant children, worthless brats, my subjects to do with as I please - the, the ladies promised me there would be no bastards to pollute my line—"'' before Geralt cuts him off to order him silent. Geralt explains that no one in his lands is worthless and anyone who feeds children to monsters is a monster themselves and cuts off his head.
* OffWithHisHead: Geralt cuts off Borys's head while Borys is still trying to beg for mercy.
* OhCrap: When listening to Jan's story Eskel thinks "Aw ''shit''" when Jan says that the monsters took all of the children in Leyda, noting that it is always ''"a bad, bad phrase."''
* PapaWolf: Jan, despite believing his own daughter dead, made the long and arduous trek to Kaer Morhen from Leyda while suffering from a nasty beating to promise to pay anything the Witchers asked for them to deal with the monsters preying on the children of Leyda and ensure no other families went through the same thing as his own.
* PoseOfSupplication: Geralt is rather unsettled when Jan makes his way to the keep and then knees bowed over in front of Geralt's "throne" hoping for an audience and showing the most deference possible.
* POVSequel: "Julita's Rescue" depicts scenes from ''Live On a Hill Against the Sky'' from Julita and Letho's perspective.
* PromptFic: "Julita's Rescue" is a short ficlet in the collection ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/28040295/chapters/68693769 Like Stones in a Running Stream]]'' (all contained ficlets are in the overall series, but depict tales from widely diferent periods) depicting her rescue from the perspectives of Julita and Letho prompted by a series of reader requests and questions.
* VillainsWantMercy: After Borys's repulsive speech in which he thought to excuse handing over children to be eaten he tries to be for mercy when faced with Geralt's sword. His head is removed without fanfare instead.
* WouldHurtAChild: Lord Borys made a deal with the Ladies of the Woods, trading all of the children in Leyda for assurances that his extramarital affairs would not produce any bastards.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: In a huge change from the leanings of his school Esra realized that with the Warlords resources this is possible, and in the face of a teammate falling to injuries and asking to be left to die a rather traditional Witcher's death Esra chose a new philosophy; to use the resources at hand to do everything possible to keep his team alive.

* AntiquatedLinguistics: Barmin, who is among the oldest Witchers and has not updated the way he speaks with the times, talks in a much older fashion than the main characters.
* BelatedInjuryRealization: Gardis only realizes that whatever knocked him down in the water while he was getting the last kid to safety cut him and he's bleeding badly after he's reunited the kid with their family.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Gardis, Orn, Kolgrim, and Kiyan run into the village just as the waters start filling it and people start stumbling out of their homes into the dark. They manage to get all the villagers out with some help from the reinforcements Roland calls for and Roland lighting a bonfire to help show the villagers which way to go once the older Witchers get them out of the village. The last few rescued are kids trapped in their homes, but the Witchers are just able to carry them to safety through the rapidly rising water.
** Gardis is trying to get three kids out of their home and knows that he can't safely get them out by himself due to how high the water has risen, but the rest of his patrol group is busy and not near enough to help him. When he calls out again Junod replies and shows up to "catch some kids" just before the water got so high Gardis would have been forced to ford the flood trying to hang on to all of them.
* CitywideEvacuation: With the Witchers' help everyone is able to get out of Bedzin alive, though the last few were in quickly filing houses when the Witchers got them out. The livestock and animals, as well as everyone's possessions, were not so lucky given the evacuation started after the flood did.
* CrisisCatchAndCarry: Junod catches two kids Gardis passes through a window and carries them to safety. If they'd tried to walk they would have been swept away by the flood as it was too high, and nearly took down Gardis who was following close behind them.
* TheDiaperChange: Orn tells Eskel that Roland is learning how to change a diaper in the aftermath of the destruction of Bedzin, and Eskel reflects on his own experiences changing Ciri's diaper and wondering how such a small person could make such a smell.
* FantasyCounterpartAppliance: The xenovox is essentially a box with spells on it that allow it to operate like a cell phone.
* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: A wall of muddy water quickly sweeps through the village of Bedzin, and gets even deeper eventually sweeping the houses away.
* HellIsThatNoise: Roland hears an unsettling roar that doesn't sound like any monster that has the whole patrol group on edge, before the screaming starts and they realize a flash flood is tearing through the nearby village of Bedzin.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: ''Where the Flooded Water Breaks'' comes from the Sara Teasdale poem "Spring Torrents".
* MissionControl: Livi makes sure the Witchers are getting everything they need to help the survivors and ensures the Witchers that Eskel requests are sent to talk to the liege lord whose responsibility it is to care for the people of Bedzin.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: While the Witchers find helping out in a flood odd, as there are no monsters or monsterous men to fight, they are still happy to do so and feel helping out those who need help is their purpose and what makes them feel fulfilled.

** Vizimir funded and organized his head mage Gustavus's experiments, helped ply his monstrous cousin Duke Velen with more victims, had Jaskier sent to Kaer Morhen as a SexSlave to be raped and probably killed, and broke his treaties in all kinds of disgusting small ways. Geralt gives his death to Aren, who was held against his will and experimented on for twenty years on Vizimir's orders.
* BadassInDistress: Aren is as tough as any witcher, but he can't escape from a powerful mage and has been restrained and experimented on for twenty years.

She is so upset she is unable to explain the whole thing and has to just hand Geralt the letter Aleksander sent.
* DentedIron: After years of torture and experimentation Aren cannot walk without help, but still has just enough strength to decapitate Vizimir, which Eist notes is a sign he's still stronger than a regular human even though he's grievously inured.

** Gustavus tortured and experimented on Aren and tortured, experimented on and killed hundreds of girls and in his plot to uncover how to make more witchers, also giving the violent rapist Duke Velen access to his victims before he was trough with them. Gustavus exalted in using blood magic to bind other's wills and control what they could say or how they could react.
** Vizimir funded and organized his head mage Gustavus's experiments, helped ply his monstrous cousin Duke Velen with more victims, had Jaskier sent to Kaer Morhen as a SexSlave to be raped and probably killed, and broke his treaties in all kinds of disgusting small ways. Geralt gives his death to Aren, who was held against his will and experimented on for twenty years on Vizimir's orders.
* BadassInDistress: Aren is as tough as any witcher, but he can't escape from a powerful mage and has been restrained and experimented on for twenty years.
* BearerOfBadNews: Aleksander is able to send Milena a message about the horrific nature of his grandfather's work for Vizimir, and she in turn runs to tell Geralt of the breach in treaty and Aren's decades of torture. She is so upset she is unable to explain the whole thing and has to just hand Geralt the letter Aleksander sent.
* DentedIron: After years of torture and experimentation Aren cannot walk without help, but still has just enough strength to decapitate Vizimir, which Eist notes is a sign he's still stronger than a regular human even though he's grievously inured.
* DestroyTheAbusiveHome: Eskel and Zia burn down the Velen estate, where many young women and girls met their doom and where Zia had been experimented on and held against her will in the basement.
* FeudalOverlord: Duke Velen spent his life abusing the power he had over his estate, turning it into a horrific place were all the women and girls are scarred in an attempt to avoid his unwanted attention.
* IncapableOfDisobeying: Gustavus's attendants are under so many compusions that they can do nothing but obey his orders and stare at the floor when he uses them to assist in his experiments and torture.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After ever so many stories in which Vizimir gets away with doing reprehensible things due to not breaking the treaty or only breaking it in ways that most other kingdoms will not really see as a true breach he finally gets caught breaking it in ways that no other monarch would find excusable and is executed.
* KidnappedForExperimentation: Aren was abducted shortly before Geralt called the schools together and became the Warlord in order for a mage to experiment on him trying to figure out the secret to making more Witchers.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: ''Into the Light Out of Darkness'' comes from the Sara Teasdale poem "The Voice".
* PainfulPersona: Aleksander is absolutely disgusted and repulsed by the persona he has to put on while accepting his duties as Duke Velen from Vizimir and despite being outwardly cool, calm and acting honored by the king is made nauseous by the revelations he's being handed.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Gustavus has been experimenting using Aren's blood to try to make more Witchers, killing hundreds of girls but succeeding in creating four new Witchers with his "false Grasses", all of whom he's also experimenting on.
* ShootTheMessenger: Milena begs Geralt not to kill Aleksander, not so much concerned that he'll be killed for getting the message to Kaer Morhen but because he has inherited the position and duties of Duke Velen and did agree to do so to the king, even if he managed to get news to Kaer Morhen and betray his king before being forced to facilitate or assist in further atrocities.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In "Into The Light Out Of Darkness", Aleksander has to choose between loyalty to his king, who is [[spoiler:kidnapping young girls and forcing them to become Witchers]] and doing the right thing, which will essentially be giving Geralt an excuse/valid reason to conquer Vizimir's kingdom. He chooses the latter, fully expecting to die as a result.
* SynchronousEpisodes: The entire story happens while Renfri is traveling in ''That Is Born Out Of Agony''.
* TongueTied: Gustavus uses BloodMagic to ensure Aleksander cannot talk about the experiments in Velen to anyone not aready part of the conspiracy.
