* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Septemius Bird's plan to rescue Stavia from the Holylanders. [[spoiler:Stavia's family knows that if they send an armed rescue party to take her back by force, the Holylanders will retaliate and attack the women on the nearby sheep ranch. So Septemius helps them take advantage of how fearful and superstitious the Holylanders are, by having some of the servitors disguise themselves as demons and create a NightmareFuel-worthy distraction, while Joshua quietly carries Stavia away and leaves white feathers behind, making the Holylanders think she was taken up by an angel. It's implied that the whole event leaves the Holylanders so shaken that it brings on the collapse of their society.]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: It's strongly implied that Myra is the way she is because her father [[spoiler:has a history of siring rebellious brats, including Chernon]]. On the other hand, she's the only one of Morgot's children [[spoiler:who wasn't fathered by Joshua, making her a literal RedHeadedStepchild. On top of that, she was sired artificially, without Morgot's knowledge or consent, by a stranger with a bad track record. It's quite possible that on some level, Morgot and Joshua didn't love her as much as the kids they had together.]] Since we only see the family through Stavia's eyes, there's no way to be sure.
