A list of characters for ''[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn (Literature)|Memory Sorrow and Thorn]]'', subdivided by faction. Beware of spoilers.
----
 
Line 18:
* [[Little Hero Big War]]
* [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Due to being splashed by a dragon's blood.
* [[Moses in Thethe Bulrushes]]: {{spoiler|He is revealed to be the direct descendant of Saint Eahlstan Fiskerne, and therefore the rightful heir to the throne.}}
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: The ring given to him by Morgenes.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: He suffers a crisis of faith after seeing his friends die on the quest for Thorn.
Line 43:
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Miriamele's primary motivation in the fourth book is to redeem her father, precisely because of this.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Josua.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: At Pryrates' urging, Elias bargains with the Storm King for possession of Sorrow.
* [[Dying Asas Yourself]]
* [[Necromantic]]: Played for tragedy.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: To Pryrates, who's the real force driving the war.
Line 93:
 
* [[Apron Matron]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
 
== '''Earl Guthwulf''' ==
Line 117:
Founder of the League of the Scroll and the last in the line of the kings of Erkynland before Prester John took up the throne. "Saint" Ealhstan, as he was known, was a famously beloved leader who saw portents of the return of the Storm King and did everything in his power to prepare Osten Ard for this eventuality. He died fighting a dragon beneath the Hayholt.
 
* [[Fling a Light Into Thethe Future]]: By way of founding the League of the Scroll.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[The Greatest Story Never Told]]: He killed the red dragon Shurakai [[Mutual Kill|but died in the process]]. He's the real hero to Prester John's [[Fake Ultimate Hero]].
Line 146:
* [[The Eeyore]]
* [[Old Soldier]]
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: He is seriously upset during Simon's [[Rage Against the Heavens]].
 
Line 168:
{{quote| "Fight and live, fight and die, God waits for all."<br />
"I have tasted [[The Fair Folk|faerie]]-blood tonight. I would not mind more." }}
* [[Born in Thethe Wrong Century]]: At one point Deornoth muses that maybe Einskaldir would have preferred the old pagan Rimmersgard religion, with its warrior's heaven, instead of the (by comparison) more peaceable Aedonite faith.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He is mortally wounded while distracting the Norns so Josua's party can flee further into Aldheorte.
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: For all his bloodthirstiness, he is surprisingly pious.
Line 326:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: This is where Ineluki ended up after going down the slope from [[The Messiah]] to [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] to dead and hating all living beings.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: He turns {{spoiler|the possessed King Elias}} into a [[Eldritch Abomination|terrifying being]] of fire and shadow.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: In this case, ''time'' is the can, which Pryrates' spell seeks to undo.
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: After Ineluki made Sorrow, his father called it an abomination and ordered him to destroy it. This broke the last vestiges of his sanity and he murdered the king on the spot, taking his antlered crown.
* [[The Undead]]
