"Prayers" is the general name for spells. "Thyrs" are giants. Brocca are badgermen. "Campaigners" are adventurers, but most people have a low opinion of them and call them [[TitleDrop rat-catchers]]

!! Tropes related to ''Thief'':
to:
*AnAdventurerIsYou: Heden is a Cleric in the DungeonsAndDragons style, with armor, sword, and miracles. The Green Order are Paladins of Nature or Druidic Warriors.
*ArabianNightsDays: Source of the Flying Tapestry. Heden's former comrade lives there.
*ArcWords: "A man is greater than his worst mistake".
*BadassGay: Teagan. He is considerably better at swordfighting than almost anyone else in the story.
*BadassNormal: Teagan again. He takes down an evil priest and ''an invisible assassin'' just by virtue of being an incredible swordsman.
*BagOfHolding: [[DungeonsAndDragons played]] [[CreatorsThumbprint straight]].
*BigDamnHeroes: Sir Nudd, ''twice''.
*TheBigGuy: Sir Nudd, again. Heden is fairly short for a man, and mentions that Nudd is almost twice as tall as he is.
*CallARabbitASmeerp: Where to
*CelibateHero: Isobel, Aedyrn, Heden.
*CrystalDragonJesus: Cavall is a redemeer and forgiver of sins.
*DisposableSexWorker: Vanora starts the story by having epileptic fits and her boss has her sent to jail, knowing that the guard will drown her for demonic possession. Oh, and also [[spoiler:The Duke gets off on taking new girls slowly from ordinary sex into bdsm and then torture and finally murder]].
*EurekaMoment: Several, although in a subversion many of them a wrong. The first one is that [[spoiler: it doesn't make any sense that a renegade priest who hates knights would get a job to redeem a knightly order]]. The final one is that the Green Order are [[spoiler: desperate for Heden to realize their crime and absolve them of their guilt]].
*ExactWords: Heden always says he "was made a priest 5 years ago".
*FlyingCarpet: Heden has a Flying Tapestry. He doesn't really get [[LampshadeHanging why you'd make it a tapestry]] though.
*GenderRestrictedAbility: St. Lenwyn (a woman) only grants her power to men, and even then, only one at a time.
*GeniusLoci: The Wode. It's the kind of forest people don't come back from.
*GodzillaThreshold: Heden can call down a [[{{Angel}} Dominon]], but in exchange he will have to undertake at [[PowerAtAPrice holy quest in exchange for the help]].
*HeroicPTSD: Heden quit adventuring because of this. It still gets the better of him when he see's certain things.
*HeroicVow: All of the Knights of Green Order take one. Chastity and Silence are two that we see spelled out. Heden also appears to have one.
*IDidWhatIHadToDo: Heden bears the guilt of doing this. [[spoiler: The Green Order does too, in its own way.]]
*ItsAllMyFault: from a lot of people.
*TheLadyOfTheLake: personification of the [[GeniusLoci Wode]]. Doubles as AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
*LockedIntoStrangeness: Knights of the Green Order all have their hair turn green. [[spoiler: it turns back to normal if they lose their powers]].
*LoopholeAbuse: The god Cavall will not heal one specific type of injury: [[spoiler: any of his servants self-inflicted wounds, because he doesn't believe in self-mutilation]]. Taethan uses this knowledge to [[spoiler: slit his own wrists allowing him to both die and confess]], knowing that Heden can't fix it.
*TheLostWoods: The Wode. And it's alive. Unlike most settings, though, there are many in the world, but the one closest to the characters (rightly called the Iron Woods) is simply called "the Wode".
*MercyKill: Heden is told (after a bit of reading between the lines) to kill a boy who's been possessed by demons before the town drowns him, on account of how drowning is an awful way to go.
*NecesarilyEvil: the job of [[spoiler: Heden, an 'Arrogate']] is to do unpleasant things that need to be done, even if that breaks a few of the church's rules. Happens to coincide with [[spoiler: the entire Green Order, save for Taethan]]. See the entry in ToBeLawfulOrToBeGood.
*NeverMessWithGranny: Isobel is pushing 60, and it doesn't make her any less of a terrifyingly dangerous knight. It's implied that the powers of the Green Order are keeping her body strong, but her skills are all her own.
*OddJobsGods: St. Lenwyn is/was a whore in life, to show how much her patron god Cavall is willing to forgive anyone. Can be seen as an {{Expy}} of [[TheBible Mary Magdelene]].
*OneManArmy: Heden is one when he needs to be, although he's more reluctant than most. Every single member of the Order of the Green are too.
*TheQuietOne: Nudd has sworn a vow of silence.
*ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Abbot, who is insightful, wise, and leads the lower levels of the church of Cavell.
*RetiredBadass: Heden used to be a "campaigner" (adventurer) in his youth. Now he's a priest.
*ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler: Kavalan doing this causes the entire plot]].
*ShesGotLegs: Heden notices this of a literal Saint, of all people.
->"There will probably never come a time I don't notice a great pair of legs".
*SpoonyBard: Renaldo. His 'understated' outfit makes him look like a jester to the humble folk of the land.
*TakeAThirdOption: Heden is told to MercyKill a girl "possessed", but instead he cures her of what seems like Epilepsy.
*TheTease: 'Saint Lenwyn' does this to Taethan, because she knows he's too noble to be seduced. It's implied she likes messing with men this way.
*ToBeLawfulOrToBeGood: [[spoiler: The basis of the entire plot. Kavalan, head of the Green Order was given direct instructions not to stop the Urq horde from destroying a town. He decided to [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight stop them anyway]] and his fellows were forced to kill him to keep up the existence of the Order, considering it a GreaterGood. The inability of the knights to reconcile these two contrasting loyalties, and Taethan's inability to absolve them of their sin, break the order apart at the seams]].
*TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler: Taehan is too pure and too inflexible to be a good knight in an imperfect world]].
*UltimateBlacksmith: The Dwarf smith in the Capital. He apparently guards numerous magic treasures as well.
*WorldsStrongestMan: Sir Nudd is over 7 feet tall, is able to wield a greatsword with one hand. Heden suspects that there are no amount of [[{{Orcs}} Urmen]] in all the world that can take him when he's in the Wode.
*YourHeadASplode: a prison guard gets this right in the first chapter, courtesy of an evil mage.
