Character Development | |

Character Development: Algorand goes from being a Idiot Hero and Inspector Javert to becoming a much smarter and more effective hero. Danilo notes that he was less of a Well-Intentioned Extremist and more a Naïve Newcomer as well. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Songs and Swords / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Arilyn uses magic to disguise herself as a Moon Elf when trying to help the notoriously xenophobic Wood Elves. Later, she finds out all of them recognized her as a Half-Elf anyway but accepted her because of the Moom Blade. Justified by the fact that one of their agents had worked with Arilyn for years. | |

Fully Absorbed Finale: Knights of Samular served as this for Thornhold as it was a short story that wrapped up most of the outstanding plots, including the corrupt Sir Gareth's infiltration of the Knights of Samular as well as Algorand finally catching a clue. | |
