Added DiffLines:

* DepravedBisexual: Auda is a coldly violent assassin who serves a brutal ReligionOfEvil. He hits relentlessly on Mathew (starting when he was DisguisedInDrag but also afterward), a foreign LongHairedPrettyBoy, and Zohra (a TomboyPrincess) as well. Also his affection toward Khardan easily comes off as likely more than just fraternal. He's rather complex though, as despite being evil Auda [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes genuinely does love some people]], with nobility in his way.

Ongoing cleanup. Cutting, as there's no mention of an explicit oath.


* BloodBrothers: One of the traditions of the Paladins of Zhakrin. Catalus was the brother of Auda, obligating Auda to [[spoiler:fulfill the death curse Catalus placed on Feisal. Auda taking Khardan as his new brother is the defining point in their relationship for the rest of the series.]]



* GreyAndGrayMorality: Despite gods and their followers in the world of Sularin being openly ''labelled'' as [[BlackAndWhiteMorality good, evil and neutral]], [[SubvertedTrope almost nothing is as simple as it seems]]. Khardan notes [[spoiler:Zhakrin's]] Paladins of the Night initially seem to be cruel and heartless monsters, but are caring and loyal to each other; Auda Ibn-Jad is unquestionably an almost immeasurably evil man but [[spoiler:risks his life to protect Khardan when they become BloodBrothers, even though Khardan tricked him, and eventually sacrifices his life to avenge his earlier brother Catalus.]] Most notably, the final conflict isn't between the forces of good and evil, but the forces of chaotic neutral (Akhran) and lawful neutral (Quar), with the protagonists on the side of ''chaotic'' (usually considered the "bad guys" side in fiction).
