* LotusEaterMachine: A recurring theme. The entire world the Skeleton Soldier lives in is a lie and a PlatonicCave, possibly covering up an even worse reality than the CrapsackWorld they live in already is.
** The citizens of Ember can enjoy several hours a day in a machine that delivers them their sweetest dreams. When the Skeleton Soldier warns them that the Empire is conducting ThePurge on all anti-war nobles and preparing to commit genocide against Ember, the Chairman of Ember attempts to rally his citizens in preparation for war against them. However, the preparations for war would mean rationing their dreams further. The citizens proceed to delude themselves into believing that the threat of war is a selfish lie, and that even if it was hypothetically true, life after the war would not be worth living without their dreams. They become so outraged that they vote the Chairman out of office, choosing to enjoy a few years of guaranteed dreaming at the tiny risk that the Chairman isn't lying over sacrificing that to an uncertain future where they will no longer dream.
