* EmpireWithADarkSecret: For all the glory and optimism of the early Imperium catapulting the human species into a new golden age, especially on the heels of the truly dire era of Old Night, we get a few glimpses of the more shadowy occurrences happening behind the curtain.
** To put it bluntly, the Emperor is a warmonger. It's established early that Imperial doctrine is to take painstaking, good faith attempts at diplomacy to reach [[TechnicalEuphemism compliance]]; and if diplomacy fails, military conquest is the only second step. The Imperium will not permit a human society that exists outside of its authority.
** For all the pretenses of an open and honest society, we get a few early hints that the Imperium is riven with secrets and lies. Secret societies appear to be relatively common, even if they are fairly benign (or that they only claim to be, like the Warrior Lodges, or only start out that way, like the Imperial Cult).
** The Imperial Truth is (appropriately enough) a lie. One of the founding tenants of the Imperium, envisioned as a society of enlightened secularism, leaves its forces confused, scared, and poorly equipped to deal with Chaos when it starts to make its early appearances. The Interex was suspicious of the Luna Wolves, though their officers were pleasantly surprised to find out that their worst fears were not only unfounded, but the Luna Wolves were strangely innocent of any knowledge of an enemy that was an open secret within their society. (This pleasant surprise lasted a few minutes, however, due to Erebus's meddling having perfect timing.)

* EstablishingSeriesMoment:
** The Luna Wolves charging into battle backed up by the Legio Mortis immediately tells readers just how much action each book is going to have.
** The scenes with Sami’s remove bd us that however awesome the series is, it is still a CosmicHorrorStory.
* HopeSpot: While conversing with Loken, Mithras still realizes the Luna Wolves don’t actually know about Chaos, and the two finally seem to find common ground to stand on. Unfortunately for them, Erebus, who IS in service of the Dark Gods, chooses that moment to ruin everything.
* OutgrownSuchSilltSuperstitions: The Imperial Truth is still going strong here, with many believing that gods and daemons are myths. [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Samus begs to differ]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Erebus only shows up for the last third of the book, but his actions lead to the war between the Imperium and the Interrex, and set the stage for Horus to fall.
* WhamShot: The penultimate portion of the story shows Erebus examining the anathame, revealing that he was the one who stole the blade and started the war between the Imperium and the Interrex.
