* BowsAndErrors: Lampshaded when Rand and Mat attempt to sneak into a farmstead's barn to spend the night. The farmers threaten them with bows, and Rand points out that the husband has too many fingers on the bowstring. The farmer also has the bow at full draw throughout the scene.



* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Tuatha'an have a lot in common with the real life Irish Travellers (getting called Tinkers like the Travellers were in the past) and Roma, being nomadic people who are harshly stereotyped as thieves. It's {{malicious slander}} however, because they're actually kind people who offer unlimited hospitality to outsiders. They also have a tradition where those born Tutha'an leave their wagons at age 20 to go and experience the rest of the world, only to come back once they knew that this is where they belong (obviously inspired by the Amish's Rumspringa).

• AmbiguousSituation: Toward the end of episode 4, Rand finds Mat inside the house of the farm where they've been taking refuge, with all of the occupants having been stabbed to death. Mat has been acting strangely due to the influence of the Shadar Logoth dagger, but there's also a Fade in the same room; it's unclear which of the two did the murders.
* * BadassPacifist: The Tua'than refuse to use violence, but this does not make them weak, like their creed the Way of the Leaf says. Without hesitation, a group of them stand up to armed Whitecloaks searching for Egwene and Perrin, forming a shield using their bodies which lets the pair get away, even though they're beaten up for it.
