* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Atthis is a MagnificentBastard who [[spoiler: has cunningly manipulated people and events, playing off of the fears and hopes of entire ''species'' to warp any respective mythologies within a one hundred mile radius of Elspeth, in order to ''make'' her their [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]], and hence make sure that the believers of said mythologies will sacrifice both their own lives and that of their followers for her sake]].

** Many Sadorians want to breed out the inherent brutality in their blood, and abandon their savage language. But it eventually becomes pretty clear that the Sadorians are [[spoiler: Arabic speakers and probably the descendents of Arabs or North Africans]]. Whoops.
*** It's said in-book that Mericanda (which is [[WildMassGuessing supposed to be America]]) shares a land-based border with Gadfia. So, in terms of geography... no... that doesn't really make a lot of sense. That said, there is a ''lot'' of bizarre geography described throughout the series.
**** It is stated in Book 1 that the Great White changed the shape of the land...
***** '''That''' much is a bit hard to believe, given that it'd require relocating one piece of the land across a rather large percentage of the globe's circumference. That degree of changing shape would require warping reality--and in turn mean the Great White couldn't have been caused by nukes.
** Rushton being emotionally abusive to Elspeth throughout The Stone Key is apparently proof that he really does love her.

* MagnificentBastard: Played with in Ariel, who runs the gauntlet for this. His [[ManipulativeBastard ability to manipulate people]] is the primary reason he has [[spoiler: consistently managed to rise quickly through the ranks of ''any'' organization to positions of power.]] YMMV on whether he deserves the "Magnificent" conditional or not. He tends a little too far to the ChaoticEvil side of things to be subtle enough for it.
