Themes
Incarnations uses its premise to ponder questionsregarding the nature of life. As each character goes from a mortallife to the 'office' of an Incarnation, they are forced tocontemplate their actions on a daily basis. Each Incarnation mayuse their office, within limits, as they see fit. This systemhumanizes what would otherwise be impersonal forces, leading toboth extensive considerations of the effects of the incarnation'swork and the impact it has on humans.
Another humorous side of Incarnations is the portrayedmagic/technology duality. Most series emphasize one or the othermeans of understanding and manipulating the world, but inIncarnations each method is equal in usefulness andrespect. This leads to a number of amusing parallels, such ascompetition between automobile and magic-carpet manufacturers. Bythe future time period of Norton, magic is referred to as the Fifth Fundamental Force, with its ownprimary particle, the Magicon (similar to a graviton). A few other series have used thetechnology/magic combined motif, notably ApprenticeAdept by Piers Anthony and Four Lords of the Diamond byJack Chalker.
Anthony uses the number five extensively, often with things thatexist in foursin our world. The five Incarnations are associated with the fiveelements (Death with Earth, Fate with Water, War with Fire, Naturewith Air, and Time with Void), and often other items with fives(the previously mentioned Book of Five Rings). There arefive fundamentalinteractions, magic being the fifth. The Llano consists of fivesongs. In On a Pale Horse, Gaea teaches Zane five patternsof thought, each represented by diagrams of five short lines.

It is interesting to note that, when a male Incarnation leaveshis office, he enters the afterlife, while the female Incarnationsreturn to life as an ordinary mortal. (The fate of a formerIncarnation of Good is never mentioned, while the Incarnation ofNight has apparently never been replaced.) However, it is noted inAnd Eternity that the gender of any officeholder is merelytraditional, and not set in stone (Fate has a male aspect, and Goodis replaced by a woman).

In the new storyline in 'Under a Velvet Cloak', Kerena (Nox,Incarnation of Night) is the lover of the original Sir Gawain,Knight of the Round Table, and mother of the original Gawain(Gaw-Two) who was tainted at birth and destined to die early.Kerena's quest to save Gaw-Two is what eventually leads her tobecome Nox, the Incarnation of Night and Keeper of Secrets. Gawain(Orlene's ghost husband) is the direct descendant of Sir Gawain,and carries the family taint, so the second Gaw-Two, born to Orleneand Ghost Gawain, is also tainted and destined to die early.
