* BeingGoodSucks: Ehiru spends much of the first book desperately needing dreamblood, but even when he could just Gather someone in the night and get what he needs, he resists because they refuse him.


Added DiffLines:

* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler: Eninket.]]
* TheCorruption: Pretty much once a Gatherer uses their powers to kill rather than to bestow peace, a long downward spiral begins. If they even suspect they are emotionally unbalanced, they may ask to die.


Added DiffLines:

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Because dreamblood is highly addictive, once a Gatherer becomes a Reaper, this is inevitable.

Added DiffLines:

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: You think Gatherers are awesome? Reapers can kill thousands of people at a time.


Added DiffLines:

* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: Eninket creates some pretty wild plans to ensure that he will become an immortal and take over the world. Ehiru refuses to give in and become a Reaper? Oh well. He can just torture Nijiri and get the same effect. Sunandi makes it to Kisua to warn them war is coming? Oh well. He had warriors ready years ago. He's also just going to kill all of them with his inevitable Reaper. The only reason he fails is because he underestimates how much Ehiru's hatred and determination will keep his head clear enough to kill him.]]

On the other hand, women are denied certain roles in society that they may want to take part in just because women are considered goddesses and ordinary things like working are beneath them.
