* In ''[[The Lord of Darkwood]]'' Wylla burned people alive. She did this to please her village's (non existent) goddess to ensure a bountiful harvest. Wylla believed that burning the occasional person alive was better than famine and she Wylla preferred to buy into whatthat herit entire village, especially her mother (thewas previous priestess),necessary than face the possibility that her village has for centuries been sacrificing people in such a painful way in vain. Wylla believed that if she failed to provide a good harvest she would be killed, however she also thinks this knowledge didn't have much influence on her decisions. When Wylla was defeated, she admitted what she did was wrong. After that (as of this writing), evenEven months later, she has felt little emotion aside from deep self hatred and remorse. She thinksthought she iswas [[Moral Event Horizon|beyond redemption]] and that being burned alive would be too good of a fate for her. The protagonist, who she admired and treasured following her defeat (to the extent she hashad room for such thoughts and emotions), telling her basically what she already thought and felt certainly didn't do her self worth any favors.
