Line 430:
* [[Red Right Hand]]: Torak's not called the Maimed God for nothing. Also Urvon (piebald) and Naradas (white-eyes) in [[The Malloreon]].
* [[Relative Error]]: In ''Castle of Wizardry,'' Garion meets his cousin Adara. When Ce'Nedra sees them together, she immediately assumes they're an item, breaks down, and has to be disabused of the notion by Polgara. This is also the moment when she is forced to admit that she loves Garion.
* [[Religion of Evil]]:
** Worship of Torak. He demands [[Human Sacrifice]] in the form of human hearts, and his priesthood – the Grolims – carry out their duties with cruel enthusiasm.
** Demon worship, the religion of the Morindim and the Karands. The evilness of either isn't described in as great detail as Torak's, but both involve the summoning of creatures from Hell to do one's bidding, and in ''The Malloreon'' a Karandese woman is shown [[Body Horror|to have been impregnated by a Demon Lord]].
* [[The Remnant]]: The Asturian Arends' long standing rebellion against the Mimbrate Arends.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Played straight in the first series, but not in the second. Sadi's pet snake, Zith, is downright cute, and strikes up an improbable friendship with 'Zakath's kittens.
