* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Lady Seilyn of Nova is the story's first introduction into the philosophical and factional differences in Highland, namely those that seek to abuse and dominate the Midlanders as an inferior society to be enslaved and extorted, and those like Seilyn that want to care for and seek mutual growth with the Midlanders. Her rule of the town is benevolent, she is much loved by its residents, she feeds and houses the orphans, and even when her former soldiers try to kill her, she chooses to pardon them, instead. [[spoiler:She ends up being poisoned and transformed into a magicite beast by one of her servants, a spy for the Ironblood Chain Brigade that's so consumed by her hatred of Highlanders than even a saint like Lady Seilyn is not spared their wrath.]]
