Definition of “Memory Page”: Any episode/chapter named as “memory page’ would contain important reader’s information regarding characters, places, terms and other definitions. It can both contain already mentioned things in previous chapters or it may further explain concepts. “Memory page” would not come up as often as one thinks. It is very probable it may happen every 10 to 20 episodes/chapters and also will be published along with a new chapter - therefore "memory pages" should not confuse the reader as being a main new chapter. Such memory pages are good to review or refer to in case the reader forgets important information.

[Events]
Name: Rose Festival
Description: The Rose Festival is an annual fest which is celebrated in major cities in Balhkara between 4th and 5th of June. Young women wake up early in the morning to gather roses before they join the others in the big gathering where they dance on and sing traditional Balhkaran songs until late at night The tradition is practiced since old ages as it is believed that after rose-gathering, the ladies who gather more roses can exchange them for a husband. These whose hands were most stung and scratched by the rose thorns are seen as strong-willed women who are not afraid of pain and hardships. In turn, the Rose Goddess bless them with a long-awaited love. The roses later are distributed in the kingdom to make cosmetics and rose wine.
Name: Linden Rituals
Description: The Linden Rituals are a follow-up events within three days around the end of July and beginning of August. These rituals involve sacred burning of wood whilst dried linden flowers are thrown in the fire to bless it. The events take place only after the rays of the sun set since the fire cannot clash with the great powers of the Sun God. It is believed that whoever walks on the leftover of hot coals will be healthy, or fertile, during the following three months. In fact, many women conceive right after the Linden Rituals. The season also involves linden preservation as it is considered an important harvest for the winter. Balhkara people use linden flowers to cure colds but also protect the house from evil spirits by hanging dried linden bouquets next to the entrance door.

[Concepts]
“Orenda” : It's believed to be a sacred knowledge, or an esoteric force inherited by members of Tulo. It unlocks powers that can determine, and control, the outcome of events. It also serves the clan since the beginning of its existence. Orenda, however, cannot be passed if the candidate is not pure blooded Tulo or if the one who currently holds its powers is still alive. In other words, Orenda serves only one master at a time.
