* SorcerousOverlord: Queen Akivasha is an ancient witch queen who once ruled over Valusia and is resurrected by the bad guys to remove Kull the Barbarian from the throne. Though her plan is apparently to bring HellOnEarth, the way she came to power by marrying Kull and then arranging his death (he escaped) means she can't really be upfront that she's evil to her subjects and has to be a VillainWithGoodPublicity.

* BookEnds: In his first appearance, Enaros is covered with burn scars. Akivasha heals all his scars after he resurrects her, but as the plot progresses, she burns him every time he displeases her (which is often). By the end of the story, Enaros is exactly as scarred as he was at the start.

* TheGoodKing: Kull, upon becoming king, immediately releases several slaves in the palace and tries to abolish slavery completely but is told he can't because the kingdom's ancient law allows it. Further, he refuses to have sex with Zareta before he's sure she's willing, as she had been the former king's sex slave and accustomed to serving that way. He also frees a priest persecuted for heresy and establishes religious tolerance, saying people can worship whatever gods they want (although this is case of NiceJobBreakngItHero as the priest [[ReligionOfEvil worships Akivasha]] and the law prevented him from resurrecting her). All this is ''before'' Kull faces down the main villain. ''After'' he defeats her, Kull abolishes slavery anyway, ancient law be damned.
