* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: The group arrives to the village and discover the inhabitants are actually heretics. They are then drugged and when they wake up the whole group is killed off one by one in horrific ways and Osmund is tricked into killing his lover. In the end only Osmund and one other member of the party survive, with Osmund's faith horrible shaken.]] We then discover that [[spoiler: the whole film was probably Osmund's StartOfDarkness as we get an epilogue showing that Osmund abandoned being a monk to search the land for the main witch, torturing and killing any girl that looks like her, and even ones that definitely ''don't'']].

* AllForNothing: How you could interpret the mission to [[spoiler:apprehend the necromancer. There was no necromancer and Langiva likely wasn’t a real witch, just a clever woman gifted in the use of herbs who ultimately escapes. Numerous men die and Osmund becomes a vengeance seeking inquisitor/torturer because what they thought was magic was probably just luck on part of the village.]]
** You could interpret the ultimate fate [[spoiler:of the village as this was well. They followed Langiva because her supposed magic protected them from the plague, committing numerous atrocities to hide themselves from the wider world. It all was ultimately worthless as the plague ended up reaching and devastating them as it did so many others before them.]]

* TheHeart: Wolfstan fulfills this role among the soldiers. He is someone who has grown weary of constant fighting and bloodshed. When it’s revealed that one of the men [[spoiler:has contracted the plague en route to their destination]] he shows compassion and understanding while others in the group are fearful. He even questions Hob in an effort to understand [[spoiler:why the village chose to follow Langiva.]] During the film’s climax, Wolfstan’s narration tells of how [[spoiler: Osmund became a hollow, vengeance-driven inquisitor in search of Langiva.]] He narrates that he hopes his friend still managed to see the beauty and goodness in the world despite the dark path he took.

** Witch-hunts did not become a common phenomenon in Europe until the 15th century. On the other hand, outright apostates like the villagers would have been killed indeed, regardless of whether they practiced witchcraft or not. It's also very unlikely any person at the time would become an outright atheist as the villagers are; at the time, everyone grew up immersed in a religious environment, Christian or not, and thus most of the Catholic Church's trouble came not from people who were completely irreligious, but rather from people who believed in other religions or heresies that contradicted fundamental doctrine.
