This is a major part of the main character's backstory. His guardian was emotionally and physically abusive to him. The abusive guardian is a recurring character in the book and the main character has to interact with him repeatedly.

This is mentioned a few times, all within the space of a single scene: a character is telling a story about an unpleasant experience he had, where the dog fighting is more of a background event. Not a big focus.

A very harrowing experience told by one character to another. The sexual aspect is not graphic and the character escaped, but the experience was physically violent and terrifying.

The main character very much misses his mother, who died when he was 8. The book opens with the death of his father, although that relationship was not loving.

The main character repeatedly talks about how ugly he feels compared to the people around him. This is frequently in terms of the dark color of his skin and hair, or occasionally his small stature or hands. While none of these characters are humans, many of the beauty standards and visual differences between the dark skinned goblins and pale skinned elves mirror real world racial biases.

A character is forced to carry out their own suicide as penalty for a crime. It's a pretty drawn-out sequence with a lot of emotional build-up, and is frankly pretty graphic. The scene is in chapter 25, "The Revethvoran."

It seems that same-sex relationships are largely frowned upon if considered at all within the story world. There is a word that may have been used to refer to homosexual/homoromantic relationships, but it’s unclear if this is used as a slur or just an uncommon word/concept.

While the book features many goblin characters and goblin characters often fall into antisemitic stereotypes the racial themes depicted with elves and goblins more closely parallel white people and POC, not Jewish people

There is a character who is very fat. while it’s not quite joked about, it is treated as a spectacle, and multiple characters have strong reactions to his size. He himself is unbothered, and is still a capable and dynamic character.
