** Yerin offers to let Ruby completely consume her if it would make Ruby strong enough to win the tournament (and save Lindon and the Blackflame Empire from the dragons).
** Ruby refuses to take Yerin, because it would hurt Lindon. And she is willing to fuse with Yerin, something which is her effective death, in order to save the people they both love.

* Mercy's Underlord and Overlord revelations were uncomfortable personal truths about her relationship with her mother. But the Archlord revelation is something you ''choose''. At first, she thinks maybe she should choose "to help my friends," but that's still about other people. Her ultimate choice is simply "to bring light."
* The Sage of a Thousand Eyes tells Mercy that her mother would be proud of her. Mercy is initially unhappy, but she continues.
-->'''Cladia:''' Not as she is now. That would not be a compliment. But as she was, long ago. If that woman had looked into the future and seen that she would have a daughter like you, she would have bragged to no end.
* The Sage of a Thousand Eyes makes a few comments implying that she knew who Eithan was the entire time (or at the very least, wasn't surprised by the revelation), and just wants to see him again.
-->Cladia had closed her eyes and was still breathing hard, but a grin slashed across her tired face that made her look like Eithan. "And when you see Eithan again... tell him he should have said good-bye."
* Throughout the book (with a bit in previous books as well), the Monarchs have disparaged Lindon as nothing but a lucky child who caught the attention of a Judge. Northstrider tells him that a random speck of dust could become powerful if a Judge decided to empower it, and he's earned nothing he has. There's a lot of hypocrisy in that statement, but Lindon doesn't respond. Until Mercy is disparaging herself for not being able to measure up despite being the daughter of a Monarch. Lindon shuts that down by pointing out that he's not some random nobody doing better than her, he was ''personally trained'' by the Reaper of Worlds.
-->'''Lindon:''' I have received more help than anyone in the universe. Even most of my power is stolen. There's nothing noble about doing everything yourself. You just have to do your best to honor the help you've gotten.
* Mercy's Herald advancement. Yes, it's played for laughs, but the fact remains that her spirit is ready and willing to help, leading to the easiest Herald advancement anyone has ever heard of. Because, deep down to her literal soul, Mercy is just a ''nice person''.
* When trying to manifest an Icon, Mercy needs to understand how others see her. So Emriss shows her memories of when Malice gave her the traditional PropheticName. The Icon Mercy manifests? The Joy Icon.
-->Mercy was only a baby, still wailing, when Malice looked into her future. She saw her youngest daughter with a broad smile clear even on the dark statues in the World of Night. She healed, she laughed, and she cried for the sake of others.\\
And, in the end, Malice saw her daughter as another light rising over the dark mountains of the Akura clan.\\
Malice leaned back, satisfied, and let her World of Night fade. She looked down to the baby in her arms and named her.\\
She would be a light to complement the shadows. The Mercy to counterbalance the family's Malice.\\
Where the Monarch failed, her daughter would bring joy.
* With all the other Dreadgods dead, Lindon absorbs all the Hunger aura in the world and falls into an endless darkness without even his body. The only thing that makes it through, the only thing that keeps him sane, is Suriel's marble.
* There's something enormously heartwarming about Lindon pulling out his Path of Twin Stars manual to teach his sect his cycling technique.
