One custom is by printing a yellow book (or three pages) where the discoveries of the past year are written, displaying its contents to the people, and then burning it as a sacrifice to the one-eyed god.
	+ The burning of three pages is a custom practiced in the northern Galaxy, where its inhabitants used to live under a cruel emperor. Out of fear of him, they refused to burn any book, so they instead print three pages and cover them in a yellow file. The local version is also more simple and faster than the Malendor version. One attempt to force the locals to practice the Malendor version led to war between three star systems.
	+ If there are no discoveries, or less than three, for the year, the pages will be empty, and they will still be burned. However, this will doom the rest of the year with bad luck!

* 23 Durhondä - Ähandûl (Day of Supreme Darkness) - In ancient Sadravaes superstition, everyone must hide to avoid being attacked by magical demons and wraiths. Now that these are defeated, it is nothing more than a monster festival.

* Svarohalkas - Outer Gate - the date of the Malendor calendar's new year within the traditional calendar. It is celebrated by burning a great orb and pushing the orb through a wooden gate, symbolising the Sun's supposed passage into the new year.
