* TheAntiNihilist: Seems to part of the meaning of "No Promises": while life may give you things like gold and gems one moment, nothing is certain and there's, well [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin no promises]] and you have to figure life out for yourself.

* IcePalace: The location described in "Icehouse" might not be a palace (its size is never discussed, though it does have rivers), but it is definitely made of ice. Its older residents blame the devil:
---> The devil lives inside the icehouse
---> At least that's what the old ones say
---> They say:
-----> (murmur) ''He came a long time ago''
---> He came here in the winter snows
---> Now it's colder every day
