* IllegalReligion: Magnus declares that worship of the Norse gods is no longer this trope.
--> If any man or woman or child in my lands still feels that, in their heart, they follow the ways of our forefathers, then you may do so openly, without fear of censure or retaliation, and enjoy the full protection of the law as you do so.
* JewsLoveToArgue: A good portion of the scene at the Jewish Quarter Synagogue is everyone arguing.
--> And there was the uproar again. People were arguing, shouting, arguing, yelling, arguing, and generally carrying on. Everyone had an opinion, and they all wanted to express theirs. After another long moment, he pounded on the table again to get their attention.
--> Let me finish first. And ''then'' we can argue.
