Plot Points Introduced
- Dresden's Debt to Mab: Debts can be purchased or transferred among the Fae. Queen Mab purchases Harry's debt to Leanansidhe and offers to cancel it once he has performed three favors for her. At the end of the book, he still owes her two.
- The Sidhe Court Political Structure: The Winter and Summer Courts each have a Mother, the Queen Who Was; a reigning Queen, the Queen Who Is; and a Lady, the Queen Who Is to Come. They are served by a mortal Knight, who is chosen to receive great power. Each Court rules for half the year. Since the beginning of time, the power alternates at Midsummer and Midwinter, maintaining the balance. However, any blood spilled on the Courts' Stone Table becomes power that is permanently transferred to the ruling Court at the time.
- Changelings: changelings are half mortal, half Fae children who must choose between their mortal or Fae heritage.
- Pizza Lord: Toot-toot's and his followers' name for Dresden.

Famous quotes containing the words plot, points and/or introduced:
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“A few ideas seem to be agreed upon. Help none but those who help themselves. Educate only at schools which provide in some form for industrial education. These two points should be insisted upon. Let the normal instruction be that men must earn their own living, and that by the labor of their hands as far as may be. This is the gospel of salvation for the colored man. Let the labor not be servile, but in manly occupations like that of the carpenter, the farmer, and the blacksmith.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I believe if we introduced the Lord’s Prayer here, senators would propose a large number of amendments to it.”
—Henry Wilson (1812–1875)
