sexual assault/rape: brief descriptions of women being raped as a part of wartime violence, main character fears rape, fears for side characters being raped (her fears do not come to fruition in either case). Main character observes another woman performing sexual acts upon an unconscious man without his knowledge or consent. She does not intervene, but also does not allow it to happen again. Main character deals with a male-aligned deity who is often jokingly suggestive with her, including appearing to her in a dream wherein she is unclothed, and giving her the waking sensation of him pressed against her back in a suggestive manner. She is exasperated but not unduly disturbed by this behavior.
