* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Towards the end of Beren's storyline, he becomes unavailable to lead missions, presumably to avoid derailing things with his death or absence at a key moment. This is neatly explained in-game with both Beren and your other nobles saying that he's too distracted by his personal life to represent the clan properly right now. Similarly, when [[spoiler: Ayvtu]] is pregnant, she briefly becomes unavailable as an expedition leader, saying that she thinks she'd be all right but she promised the midwives that she would stay home.
* MultipleEndings: While there's only one good ending [[spoiler:the wedding of Beren the Tall to Redalda]], it does have some variations depending on what divine blessing, if any, you pass on to your descendants. Meanwhile, there are a variety of ways to end the game, ranging from your clan disbanding due to lack of people or cows, to the Orgovaltes tribe arriving when you fail to achieve your destiny, to [[spoiler:losing Redalda to Beren the Swift, and either helping defend their wedding or treacherously attacking it]], to a last-minute tragedy [[spoiler:should either Redalda or your own Beren die at their wedding.]]

* ArtShift: The game has three distinct art styles: woodcut style for historical events (used during clan creation and in the ending slides), watercolor for the bulk of the game, and a third style for the Gloranthan otherworld (myths, rituals, and other appearances of the gods). Occasionally, characters drawn in the "divine" style appear in "normal" scenes, including a visit from the god Elmal, come to repossess the bones of his [[GodIsDead deceased herdsman]] so that he can have them forged into weapons, [[spoiler: and the in-game appearance of Cenala, Hyalor's daughter by the elf goddess Aldrya]].

* MalignedMixedMarriage: Both Rider and Ram traditions forbid marriage with the other group; among other things, it's believed that the offspring of such marriages have a high chance of becoming wicked magicians. [[spoiler: Actually asking the gods about the matter reveals that it's a purely human taboo rather than a divine edict, which suggests to your people that it might be okay after all.]]
* MosesInTheBulrushes: One early story event has two families arguing over which of them should be allowed to adopt a baby found in the river. Although divination reveals nothing, they consider the unusual circumstances a sign that the baby may grow up to do great things. You can rule in favor of either one, have the chief adopt the child instead, or put the baby back in the river.
* {{Pegasus}}: A priestess of Gamari visits, telling your clan of her project of trying to breed winged horses. [[spoiler: If your own priestesses learn her secrets, you can gain a flying horse from a successfully completed Gamari ritual.]]

The sun god Yelm is dead, and the mighty empire your people once lived in is covered in ice. Your clan has escaped that fate and must now make a home in a new land, populated not only by fellow Riders but by their Wheel cousins and the barbaric Ram—worshippers of Orlanth, Yelm’s murderer.
