Self-Fulfilling Prophecy | |
| King Crow / int_30d2ae29 | comment |
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Cormac's "prophecy" of Bregant's fate seems to be this. Bregant is so scared by the "prophecy" and Cormac's words after that he tries to run, causing him to slip and fall to his death. | |

Self-Disposing Villain | |
| King Crow / int_51ecf708 | comment |
Self-Disposing Villain: As Cormac himself seems to acknowledge that he would not kill his adversary even when Bregant's soldiers have fled and they are one-on-one, Bregant has to perish in some other way, so he panics, slips from the tower, and plummets to the ground below, dying on impact. | |

| King Crow / int_97522514 | comment |
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Bregant beats Cormac initially by getting some of his generals to switch sides. Later though they switch back upon believing Bregant is about to fall. | |

Evil Will Fail | |
| King Crow / int_9b9d2629 | comment |
Evil Will Fail: This is Cormac's final "prophecy" in a nutshell — Bregant's position is not secure (something Bregant himself seems to have doubts over) and he will be defeated. | |

Blind Seer | |
| King Crow / int_a122bf2f | comment |
Blind Seer: Cormac loses his sight to a head injury during the battle and spends most of the book locked up. The crow visits to tell him news. Cormac mentioning these events make the soldiers and the enemy king think that Cormac can tell what's going on in some mystical way, given that he hasn't received any (human) visitors. | |

Clever Crows | |
| King Crow / int_ce3f50f0 | comment |
Clever Crows: Cormac's helper. It's the one that actually comes up with the idea to restore Cormac to his throne and Cormac is dependent on its news for most of the book. This gets taken up to fantasy levels as its smart as a human and can talk too. It seems to be a feature of the book's world, because Cormac reacts without surprise when the crow talks with him. | |

The Good King: Cormac is a good person and a good king — wise, compassionate, and peaceful. Bregant only gets him into battle to begin with by constantly harassing his subjects. | |
