Shapeshifter Baggage: The deities can change size without difficulty, but the flying horses' torsos narrow drastically when their wings emerge, implying these animals retain the same mass with or without wings. | |

Gods Need Prayer Badly: The squabble between two minor pantheons struggling to keep a vacant temple in the local religious section of town. Whoever gets kicked off the block will most likely fade away into nonexistence from lack of belief. | |

Author Tract | |
| Petty Pewter Gods / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: Cook's anvil against religion comes out a bit. Garrett's real problem with religion is that all to often the people at the top are using it solely to exploit the people at the bottom. The exact same problem he has with the royalty and the Sorcerers on The Hill. | |

Continuity Nod: Garrett finds a man murdered with a kef sidhe strangling cord in Old Tin Sorrows, and Morley tells him something about this exotic weapon. Four books later, in Petty Pewter Gods, Garrett compares Magodor's magical rope to a kef sidhe strangling cord. | |

DidNotThinkThisThrough | |
| Petty Pewter Gods / int_b773ec0e | comment |
Did Not Think This Through: The other gods of the Dream Quarter set up Garrett as the key because they believed he would be an objective judge of character regarding the two feuding pantheons, being a man who had no particular prejudices regarding the divine. They also believed he would be showed with bribes and fine with the contest. Instead, both pantheons try to intimidate or threaten him with plans of killing him if he doesn't obey. | |

Invisible to Normals: The various feuding Godoroth and Shayir can't be perceived by mortals other than Garrett, for whom they're making an effort, and a few people like No-Neck who can vaguely sense there's something there. | |

| Petty Pewter Gods / int_ce3f50f0 | comment |
Clever Crows: Unlike most mortal creatures, crows can see the Shayir owl girls in Petty Pewter Gods. Garrett speculates that this has to do with how ravens and crows are often associated with the gods in plenty of older religions. | |
