* KnightTemplar: All of the members of the order of the golden God

* KnightTemplar: All of the members of the order of the golden God God.
* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: Played with. When Brun is ordered to keep an eye on Gisulf and Waldrada, he is given a scroll with which to write everything down the group is doing, which is translated into gameplay as your quest journal (with main quests being marked in bold so you can't miss them among the sidequests) When the group returns after completing their first objective, this very report is used to further condemn Waldrada's witchcraft, because most of these sidequests are defiant to the order's rules, with Gisulf's part in those quests even blamed on her as "witchly temptation."

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Gisulf's favorite strategy whenever things go south past the point of fighting it out, and by his own account how he managed to survive as long as he did. Too bad for him that when he tries it once the undead start rising from their graves, Brun objects violently.

* BigGood: The High Priest is build up to be this, as he sends the heroes on their quest and gives them advice what to do next. [[spoiler: In the end the wizard fullfils this role.]]
* BloodKnight: Considering how much he would love to burn Waldrada and punish others who disobey in his eyes the holy laws of the golden god, he is this partially and if you want to be a member of the Church of Arnor, it looks like beeing a BloodKnight is a job requirement.
* BurnTheWitch: The order does this a lot. Thanks to this the witches of the continent, went down from dozens to mere 4 witches when Waldrada is initiated and they are clearly on the loosing end of the fight. And as Gisulf was almost killed by the order for beeing in liege with a witch, while beeing innocent, it can be said that they did for sure killed quite a few innocent people
* CharacterDevelopment: In Opposition to realtrolls previous games this one contains some major Development for the main Characters. Over the time of their travels they get to understand each other a bit better, even the KnightTemplar Paladin and the Witch. In addition the Paladin learns at the end to think for himself a bit more and Gisuld get's a bit less greedy, as he is ready to give away some money now and then
* TheChosenOne: Played as a parody. In the very second in wich Brun is supposed to be confirmed by his god to be the chosen one, Gisulf drops down from the roof where he was listening to the procedure, and becomes TheChosenOne instead. From the players point of view it is not entirely clear if this was a mere accident or the Plan of the golden god all along.

Gisulf just fell into the role of the leader by accident and is payed by the high priest of the order to fulfill his role or else. Waldrada the witch would just love to flee but is forced to cooperate as she was poisoned by Gisulf and the High priest gives her the antidote when everything is over. This was actually done to save his life, because without this agreement Waldrada would be burned immeadetly. Brun the Paladin has problems to accept Gisulf and would love to burn Waldrada on the stake. The whole thing is always only an inch away from exploding.

** [[spoiler:This stems at least partly from the rules of their church, which demand the priests to fight monsters as big and/or strong as possible. While the undead have a never ending army, every single one is quite weak and thus "unworthy" to be defeated by Arnors servants. The Priests are more or less paralysed by their own rules.]]
