(Author: Once college starts, at the end of August, chapter releases will be slower. I will also update the glossary when applicable. For the sake of how the Yan Dynasty handles names, the glossary will be last name first. No matter what I wrote before, this glossary's information is official. May contain spoilers where applicable. Because it's tiresome and so long, I am only writing the most important information in this glossary.)
