inc*st is common in the myths and somehow no one cares; the one time inc*st happens is by accident and both parties commit suicide out of shame; the world is made from a deity's body, pretty unoriginal; the world is made from a clutch of duck eggs; ultimate treasure is a somewhat mundane sheepskin of healing; ultimate treasure is a device that can produce infinite grain, salt, and gold; the characters never learn from their mistakes and end up pulling the same dumb shit over and over; people make mistakes but rarely the same one twice; women are brutally mistreated and everyone pretty much glosses over it except Otrera and Artemis; assault is attempted once but fails and then the perpetrator changes his ways
