21	* The priests:
22	** WordOfGod confirmation that the high priests actually did want Susebron and Siri to have a child very quickly, makes much of their behavior seem rather nonsensical. Particularly instructing Siri to quietly and passively wait for her husband, who has no idea how babies are made, to [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe ravish her]]. And then not so subtly threatening her homeland with war when, predictably, no baby making occurred. This all makes much more sense when you eventually realize that the priests were relying on Bluefingers to handle all instructions related to coupling with Susebron. Whatever original instructions Siri was intended to receive to compensate for Susebron's ignorance of marital matters never reached her.
23	** This also does a great deal to explain much of the priests JerkAss hostility towards Siri. While Siri laying in a nude PoseOfSupplication before the God King for hours on end on her wedding night was terribly humiliating for her, to the priests it would have looked like deliberate act of defiance from the "fanatical" rebel Idris princess. Worse, seeing gentle Susebron being melodramatically kow-towed to look like he was some kind of brutal monster would have seemed a deliberate insult to the priests. [[MartyrWithoutACause Considering the Martyr Complex that Vivenna had towards being sent to wed the God King]], it would have been easy to see Siri as a viper who needed to be forced into submission.
24	* Lightsong's curious ability to juggle fruit and his [[AchievementsInIgnorance inexplicable talent]] for [[{{Calvinball}} Terachin]] might have a common root. Namely, he might have had a good throwing arm and excellent hand-eye coordination in his previous life, likely including an interest in Terachin before becoming a Returned. Further evidence of this is the thing he set up to count the priests going in and coming out of the god's compounds - throwing pebbles, unerringly, from a reclined position, into one of several dishes.
25	* While Nightblood can sense it's surroundings to some degree, it cannot actually see and as such would depend on peoples thoughts to give it visual information. The majority of this information would come from Vasher. Now what does Nightblood thinks Vivenna looks like again?
26	* Llarimar's seemingly bottomless ability to put up with Lightsong's antics makes a lot more sense when you find out that Lightsong was Llarimar's brother. Llarimar has had his entire life to get used to Lightsong acting out, and it therefore doesn't conflict with his devotion to Lightsong.
27	* Lemex catches fever and dies just as Vivenna reaches him, resulting in the fortunate passing on of his Breath to her. The timing of the death is a large coincidence that slightly strains suspension of disbelief. However, the truth is that Denth was poisoning Lemex and is there for responsible for the death and timing, revealed with his betrayal. Even more obvious when you recall that Breath makes a person more resistant to disease, and with several hundred Lemex should have been fully immune. Of course Vivenna is unaware of the effects of large quantities of Breath so she has no way of piecing this together.
