They claim that they do so that they would always have worshippers to serve them. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| The Age of the Five / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: The Circlians are intolerant towards other religions, but their leaders attempt to solve every problem diplomatically - and actively discourage their followers to physically harm Dreamweavers. Their enemies the Pentadrians are tolerant towards other faiths, but also ruthless. One of their Voices allows his beasts to kill and eat civilians during his incursion in North Ithania, and at one point Nekaun tries to stir up tensions by having Dreamweavers murdered and framing the Circlians. | |

Jerkass Gods: Both sets of gods in fact being as they are actually one and the same. They set up the entire war as a game to keep themselves amused. Some of the characters reason at one point that it's logical. Since the remaining gods are the ones who were willing to murder all the other gods, only the cruelest most ruthless ones would remain. Special mention should go to Huan. Not even the other gods like her very much, although they keep up a facade of cooperation when appearing to their followers. | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty | |
| The Age of the Five / int_7ffca8c4 | comment |
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Both played straight and subverted. Most of the White and the Wilds are grown-ups when they stop aging, but the Gull is only a child. (Also Emerahl's innate ability is to change her age.) | |

Demoted to Extra: Tryss and Drilli are major characters of the first book, but are barely mentioned in the second one, and are absent from the third one. It's most likely related to the fact the first book ends with Drilli pregnant, so they are probably busy raising their child. The White in the third book, outside of Ellareen, Auraya's successor. Juran has a few conversations with Auraya; but Rian, Mairae, and Dyara are barely featured at all, even during the second battle against the Pentradrians. | |

God Is Flawed | |
| The Age of the Five / int_c391447c | comment |
God Is Flawed: Some of Huan's orders seem not very thought through. Granted since all gods used to be humans and deification did not erase their flaws. It is further revealed that the Pentadrian gods are actually the Circlian gods in disguise, making this a double example. Later in the story, it's revealed that there used to be other gods around once, during what was called the Age of the Many. From the perspectives of the immortals, a number of them seemed to be quite benevolent. Which probably made it easier for (implied to have been) Huan to carry out her plan with the Five to kill them all off, although one of the gods who initially helped them committed suicide out of guilt over her actions. | |

No Immortal Inertia: Averted. An ancient priest left a warning on a tomb stating that only mortals could enter. The tomb was only notable for containing a magical void. Emerahl suspects the priest thought cutting off an immortal's access to magic would lead to this. It is implied that the warning was not addressed at physical immortals, but at non-physical immortals, a.k.a. gods, to whom such a void is indeed lethal. | |

Running Both Sides: Auraya eventually discovers that the Circlian Gods and the Pentadrian Gods are the same five. After the war of the Gods they set up two religions in isolation from each other then spent the next century building each one up in strength in order to finally pit them against each other in war (just for fun). | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
| The Age of the Five / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Usually averted or even inverted - immortality is generally seen as a great thing, with one exception: Chaia. He explains to Auraya that he grew tired of an existence beyond mortality hundreds of years ago, and that frankly he'd rather not And I Must Scream spend another thousand years trapped with the Jerkass Huan. So he sucks in all the magic in the trap, killing himself and the other four gods with him. | |
