-When Richard and Kahlan are having sex, Richard repeatedly whispers "bringer of death". Kahlan thinks its sexy.

-Zedd's overeating and skinny frame are a result of an eating disorder which goes back to his days as a runway model.

-Zedd claims that in the great war both sides called him "the wind of death", but this nickname actually goes back further to the fact that Zedd made the nastiest chili in the wizard's keep.

-According to Richard, the first edict of being a war wizard is "cut". The others are "a-ho, aha, guard, turn, parry, dodge, spin, thrust."

-The Mriswith are supposedly great powerful wizards from long ago who gave up all their magical powers in order to become invisible. What nobody has noticed yet is that this is incredibly retarded.

- Gratch is actually a great, eloquent gar philosopher. It pleases him to slum it among the idiot humans and pretend to be a bit stoopid. His hilarious anecdotes about that dumb war wizard get him invited to all the best gar parties.

- The namble has a sideline advertising Marks & Spencers loincloths with reinforced gusset; all inferior underwear gets ripped up by the barbs in less than an hour.

- Originally, Kahlan was going to be saved from the not-a-chicken (which was possessed by a chime) by a not-a-bald-eagle (that was possessed by moral clarity). However, this would've taken away from Richard's glory, so the scene was eliminated with extreme prejudice.

- The alternate to the statue Richard carves in Faith of the Fallen was a gigantic penis labelled "Freedom and Individuality", entering a puckered, scarred, and diseased anus marked "Communism, Collectivism, and Liberals" instead of just two people standing there.

- TG's initial vision for gars involved them speaking Spanish. It was supposed to be a heavy-handed and obvious parallel for how terrible he thinks immigration in the US is. However, this was cut for space reasons because it would've added 150 pages of Richard speeches to the book.
