Omniglot: Nemian, of all people, seems to speak the language of every village or nomadic tribe he comes across. Just what was he doing before the story started? Studying ethnolinguistics? | |

Fourth-Date Marriage | |
| The Claidi Journals / int_35e077 | comment |
Fourth-Date Marriage: The timeline's a bit fuzzy, but Claidi and Argul's engagement and marriage comes across like this, but Venn and Dengwi are a more obvious example. | |

| The Claidi Journals / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Ironel Novendot, who tries to groom Claidi into her successor as the one who interprets the Law. Her grandson Nemian shares her bastard tendencies. Jizania takes the cake, though. Even Ironel was just a small part of her master plan. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| The Claidi Journals / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": It's not a llama, it's a graffapin. Stands out oddly, since most animals in the series aren't Mix-and-Match Critters and have their usual names. | |

The Unfavorite: Venn. He outright states that it's why he refuses to leave the Rise with Claidi, his half-brother Argul already made him The Unfavorite to Ustareth, he didn't want to have to live with that happening with Claidi, too. | |

Malevolent Architecture: Wolf Star Rise, which would be a perfectly nice place if it wasn't for the fact that the rooms move unpredictably and without warning, to the point where it's possible to get lost for days on your way to the bathroom. | |

Pardon My Klingon: The Hulta and Venn both will frequently curse in other languages. Claidi attempts this in the second book, yelling at Venn what the Gardener always yells at the monkeys. He tells her that it means "may you get fur balls." | |
