Huh, interesting. I just realized I had thematic image clusters scattered throughout Dust that all deal with identity, names, and masks. Go back way to the first couple chapters and you've got the use of the Pevensies' sobriquets as titles for demigods, you've constantly got them having to prove to other people that yes, they really are the kings and queens of old, you've got Tirian's kingship issues, you've got the recurring scars, you've got who the Pevensies were in England bleeding into who they are in Narnia and vice versa (Peter, I'm looking at you), you've got Susan pretending to be someone else in Dust 5, you've got Peter, Tirian, and Eustace pretending the same thing in Dust 7 and 9 (not that it works)...

I realized this because I have more of the same elements recurring in Dust 11-13. Tirian, you poor bastard...
