* ContrivedCoincidence: Three protagonists happen to be outside the queen's hall for entirely different reasons when events happen that force them into a SuicideMission. [[spoiler: Unni is being dragged there by a drunken chieftain who thinks she insulted him, Hillevi is lodging an objection to being drafted into the aesir-vanir religious war, Shirin is pleading for her sister's release. Then the chieftain gets annoyed with Shirin's pleas and decides to kill her too, which prompts MamaBear to rip his throat out. Thus the queen ends up sentencing the three of them to slay the weapon thief.]]



* RevengeBeforeReason: Herja spends years chained up in a fortress cell, waiting for her chance to take revenge. Then the Weapon Thief destroys the fortress and slaughters her captors, apparently specifically to free her, so Herja swears her revenge on her instead.
