* WackyWaysideTribe: While crossing a lake in a boat, Kullimon is menaced by Mermaids. They have no lines of dialogue, no impact on the plot, don't even really slow him down very much, and are never mentioned by anyone ever again. Beyond providing the movie with some shots of attractive women with fish tails (and then [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily a mouthful of fangs]] when their intentions become clear) it's hard to say what they're for.

This is a movie adaptation of the 2008 MMORTS game ''SAGA'', though most markets take the name out of the title. This applies to the US unfortunately due to ExecutiveMeddling from distributor Phase 4 Films.

* AllThereInTheManual: Done very strangely. Although a number of concepts are taken from the game, the plot makes even ''less'' sense if you know the game's (very minimalist ExcusePlot) lore.



* DirtyBusiness: Keltus' job is to do the dirty work so that the Prophetess and her priestesses can keep their hands clean, which means they're still Good no matter what is done in their name and at their command. He doesn't see the contradiction in that until the Prophetess abandons him for the crime of being cursed.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Shadow cultist who was supposed to collect the magic blood needed for the ritual (only available in special circumstances) was captured by Order forces before the start of the movie. They were only ever in danger of success because Keltus inexplicably gathered it himself; even Kullimon pointed out that it was worthless to anyone but the cultists and they should just leave it.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The higher-tech steampunk variety, using a selection of explosives and firearms. If they didn't explicitly call the one who appears a Dwarf he'd be easily confused for a [[OurGnomesAreWeirder gnome]].



* OurGnomesAreWeirder: Gnomes also appears although they seem more similar in behavior to Goblins as they are fans of explosives.
