* GodIsDead: The Saint of Steel died three years ago (at the time when the series opens). This was traumatic for his paladins, and disturbing for everyone else--gods being ''mythically'' dead is normal (the Hanged Mother is literally hanged, for one), but gods being actually, no-fooling, straight-up ''gone'' is unheard of.

** Discussed by Lady Silver, a member of the dog-headed People. Most of their gods are year-gods, which is exactly what it sounds like--born at the beginning of the year, and dying at the end of it (People years seem to be much longer than human years). The People find it strange that humans keep their gods around on a permanent basis. [[spoiler: She's also surprised that the paladins of the Saint didn't immediately realize his death must have been foul play from the sheer violence of how He was torn out of their souls--the chosen of gods who die naturally are totally unharmed when the connection breaks, like Silver herself, whereas the Saint's paladins are chock-full of scar tissue.]]

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: This is the main reason Marguerite can't get the Red Sail off her back. While she's technically a loose end, she's not an important loose end, which actually makes her less safe than the other option. Because she's not a priority but a mere target of opportunity, she can never plan for the next attack on her life--''any'' operative doing ''any'' mission in her general vicinity might decide to "take care" of her for extra brownie points, or they might decide it's not their problem, and she has no way of knowing which until someone's trying to plant a knife in her back. And since the Red Sail doesn't care enough to plot her death specifically, they also don't care enough to make sure the many, ''many'' amnesties she's negotiated actually stick across all the different parts of the organization.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In ''Paladin's Grace'' [[spoiler:the Motherhood priests do their best to prosecute Grace as an poisoner and unrepentant murderer. The case against her was dubious, but painting her as a lone madwoman and organizing her swift execution was the surest way to avoid war with a powerful neighboring kingdom whose crown prince had (supposedly) just been poisoned to death. The Bishop of the White Rat begrudgingly admits they were trying to do something approximating the right thing given the circumstances (a single unjust execution is a small price compared to the horrors of war), but still thinks they were being assholes about it and should have been more concerned with finding the actual guilty party. To their credit, the priest who was leading the prosecution got demoted for overstepping his authority when things went off the rails during the trial.]]
