Do the titular seven dooms correspond in any way to the classic seven deadly sins of the Runelords? I tried finding it in the text, but if it’s there, I’m missing it. My players came up with that as a theory, and now I want it to be true!
If they don’t correspond as written, do people have ideas for how each doom might be tied to a different sin? Feel free to weigh in as well, Mr. Jacobs.

They do not tie to the seven deadly sins. That's sort of intentional, since so much of that theme is prevalent in the region that I felt it would be more interesting to NOT tie these seven dooms to the seven deadly sins, and I suggest not tying them to those sins since that can lead the players astray to a certain extent...
If you REALLY WANTED TO though... I guess I'd do it this way:
2—Sandpoint Devil: wrath
3—Aliver Podiker: sloth
4—Devil's Disciples: lust
5—Jervis Stoot: envy
6—Kanker: gluttony
7—Red Bishop: pride
Some of these, particularly #1 and #4, will need some thematic changes in order to make more sense, I guess. And ones like 5 and 6 are pretty meh links too.
But, again... I would not recommend this.
