* TheExtremistWasRight: Failing to uphold the harsh virtues of Chernobog ''will'' have disastrous results for your village. Even trying to usher in a new era of kindness and tolerance dooms the islanders. [[spoiler: Granted it's kind of hard to say if it's worse than what happens if you are in fact judged worthy.]]

** TruthInTelevision: Some stricter sects of certain religions do ban visual artwork (particularly of living things) as a form of idolatry. They may allow liturgical music, but ban secular music and even musical instruments. It's clear that singing praises of Chernobog is the only form of self expression that isn't seen as sinful.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: InUniverse. One event involves a villager coming to you and saying that "500 years" should be "5,000 years" and worrying that it'll take another four and a half millennia for the Apocalypse to happen. There's no good outcome for this: Telling them that Chernobog's will is absolute upsets their House, telling them to excise that verse and never speak of it again makes Obedience suffer, and telling them to preach "5 more years" anyways makes Fervor suffer.

* FishPeople: One event has a village girl come to the cathedral and talk to you about her pregnancy. telling her to give the child to the Vicar when it's weaned results in the baby crying whenever it's not in the bath.

* HumanSacrifice: Chernobog demands one scion of the noble houses on the island per season. Sacrificing too many kids from one house antagonizes their surviving family members (likewise for minor vices), and not revealing their Vice in the first place is especially upsetting.
