*VillainWithGoodPublicity: The majority of Midgard’s citizens view King Empyrius as just ruler who protects his citizens. Little do they know that he betrayed [[ThePaladin Solar Flare]] in an attempt to claim the Philosopher’s Stone power for himself and that he’s behind the monsters roaming Midgard’s wilderness.

Notably, in [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2019-09-30#post this panel]], Trailblazer makes an absolutely atrocious attempt to deceive, due to a combination of poor instruction and a very bad roll.

* FandomNod: Trailblazer's Temples and Titan's character is a black-and-red warlock named Blood Edge. This is almost certainly a jab at badly-designed pony OCs, which are a meme in the Brony fandom - the much-mocked archetype is an overpowered pony which is red and black in color and incongruously "edgy" or otherwise out-of-place in a whimsical pony setting.



* SpoiledByTheFormat: If you are doing an ArchiveBinge to catch up on the comic, be warned that the various game status screens may spoil you on what's coming up, since they are current for what's happening right now. Fortunately you can just avoid reading them until you've caught up.
