3 years since two days ago. 3 years and the time has finally come.
As a small preliminary notice, due to Linden's rather unique situation of having been 'grandfathered' from T2 Vermella Blessed to T2 Sallana Blessed many years ago, all things listed in his Divine Profile have been events and acts as and since being a T2. Without further ado:

The character must have earnest and genuine faith to their Divine.
Linden is swift to focus on the positive aspects of Lady Sallana and her aspects, even when faced with the skeptics and those that view her disfavorably.
He has almost every aspect of Sallana guide and shape his life in some significant way or another.
Love and therefor Romance are something Linden values a lot, exemplified in how his and Lana's relationship has developed and how daily life exists for them both. Yet this doesn't extend to just himself, as Linden has been eager to promote the joy that love and a strong relationship can bring, as well as helping people on several occasions with figuring out their own love life during a darker moment of doubt or concern.
Arts, Harvest & Wine have manifested as part of his regular hobbies. Linden frequently plays music, sings and performs poetry... yet also embraces the more physical aspect of art through painting, wood carving and sculpting. His Bloodrose Glen also houses a decent chunk of land dedicated to various forms of farming. From a vineyard to wheat fields and other crops, to flowers and honey from plentiful beehives placed about. Linistel happens to house both a Sacred Vineyard and orchard from Bountiful Harvest, which Linden tends to lovingly with the produce of the former and sometimes also the latter finding themselves turned into drinks, especially 'Sallana Wine' from the vineyard. Linden just as much enjoys partaking in said wine, as well as regularly making use of his passive ability to turn water into this favored drink of his as well.
Hearth has embodies itself as his care for his home and his family and loved ones, down to a protective nature that has been present for a long time, something akin to the more guardian-esque values that Vermella once more specifically favored. Just as much as he wants happiness for those close to him, does he want to keep them safe and as a result also keep his 'home' safe, whether it is his home in Linistel, at the Bloodrose Glen or with Lana at Storm's Landing.
Passion and Pleasure tend to manifest most as part of the other aspects, Specifically in his hobbies and his love life. Just as with other aspects, Linden holds a belief that whether you are interested, aspiring or a devout to Lady Sallana.. or not at all, these aspects are things that people in general should have a chance to experience in favorable ways.
Luxury is a curious case, as it's been part of Linden's life without much direct pursuit. While Linden's a hard worker whom managed to enrich his own situation through a lot of effort, becoming royalty through the efforts of his mother was the greatest leap of them all... and yet life mostly continued on as normal in his own mind. Recently though, Linden has gained more of a mindset that sees himself alright with showing off Luxury a bit in more symbolic ways for his faith. Perhaps ironic, seeing it was Linden who had a good amount of adventuring loot and personal wealth remade into the golden statue of Sallana that is present in the Linistel shrine.
Evidence of a more unique understanding and outlook towards their own faith.
A few examples:
-> '*During an undead attack on Linistel, made use of Illuminate to instill courage on nearby people, as well as working along others to protect several wounded and have Stem available to stop severe bleeding, then getting said wounded moved to safety.'
This also extends to generally any situation or event that Linden attended where people he cares about were present, family, friends or otherwise. In this case specifically, it goes back to Hearth, Linden desiring the happiness and wellbeing of what he considers his homes, places of comfort, places where those close to him and whom he cares dearly about reside. He just as much seeks to safeguard these places and people as well, both through own strength and Sallana's gifts that permit him some means of defense or limiting the harm and suffering of others till they can be mended. Hearth is not just about himself and his own happiness and comfort, but also to those around him, those part of it, part of what counts towards Linden's 'Hearth' or where it may be. Not just the place, but sometimes simply safeguarding or helping those that are part of his home and family even when they go places far away of such a Hearth.
-> '*Participated in a play created by a non-hostile Figment at the Sallana Shrine during a summoning of its defenders'
Rather than just seeing Playwright as a potential rogue figment or malicious threat, Linden noted similarities in what the Figment represented with Sallana. While the encounter with Playwright has yet to be resolved, the encounter inspired Linden to view acting and plays as an interesting perception of Sallana's aspect of 'Art' (with a sprinkling of Passion, seeing the Playwright's own passion in how serious he took both the play and its roles and accidental mistakes that broke said roles) For the next encounter, Linden intends to improve and impress in Sallana's name, like an effort of art, expressive art.
-> '*Is now providing produce from the Bloodrose Glen to Storm's Landing (especially for the poor populace)'
In terms of Harvest and to an extent, Luxury, Linden feels that while these aspects of Sallana can be definitely interpreted as being the result of one's own efforts, hard work and enrichment, he also feels that these aspects have value in being shared to an extent with others that may not have the ability to pursue them by themselves. Up until recently though, Linden could not support a fast enough production at an also big enough quantity to offer support to those in need. The moment he was given he means and the obvious request for such aid though, he swiftly went to work, so that others could directly enjoy the bounty of a succesful Harvest, courtesy by Lady Sallana favor.
Must show evidence in their log of teaching another something thematic to their Divine. (Hunting, Fighting, Dancing, etc)
A few examples:
-> '*Provided love advice to a heartbroken Lana Wake.'
-> '*Aided Fronslin in love related troubles through discussion and reminding him of the good times by use of [Lover's Reverie].'
-> '*Extensive religious talk with Hellmann, sharing insight and teachings in regards to Sallana, followed by relationship counseling and a peptalk in regards of Hellmann's own ongoing relationship.'
-> ' *Spoke with Jenette about the troubling times she was going through in terms of love and herself, offered insight and support.'
Must have at least five instances in their divine log where they have personally done something significant in the name of their faith separate to the event(s) above.
-> '*Sharing mainly wine made from the Sacred Vineyard with several people (Mainly family, friend and trusted) to show off Sallana's gifts, as well as with intent to aid in soothing them from stress and harsh times. (And perhaps help them get rid of some old scars over time)'
Wine is something Linden loves to partake in. With the Sacred Vineyard, he found some added means to help people relax if not put their troubles aside for a bit. The physical side effects of the wine were a nice bonus.. and there's at least one particular individual amongst the family who regularly prefers to enjoy the special 'Sallana Wine' now. Someone whom also views Sallana favorably.
-> '*Discovered the location of three Divine Shrines:'
'Theodra Shrine: Found during a foraging trip, relevant Blessed informed.'
'Shalherana Shrine: Found together with Jenette after an intentional search in likely areas it might have been.'
'Sallana Shrine: Discovered upon further traveling, immediately claimed by Linden with fellow Blessed being informed.'
As soon as Linden stumbled upon what appeared to be an abandoned Shrine to Theodra while out foraging, Linden knew there'd have to be more out there. Taking along Jenette so they could discover the whereabout of a potential Shalherana Shrine as well, Linden did indeed persevere and discover a Shrine to Sallana out far in the middle of seemingly nowhere, short after discovering another to Shalherana. He swiftly acted to 'claim' the Shrine for him and his fellow Sallana devout and they together with the aid of a few others, designated themselves as defenders of this Shrine. Linden later, before the appearance of the Playwright, fortified the area with some barricades limit the movement of any potential threats. Even in the wake of the first Playwright encounter and the seeming removal of both any immediate threats as well as the boon of the shrine, Linden still continues to regularly visit the Shrine and ensure it has remained safe and tended to.
-> '*Together with Sophie, Anwar and Lana, Linden secured as much of the Sallana Shrine in the remains of the Storm's Landing Cathedral as possible.'
'Made certain the devout protecting the shrine (npc) found safety afterwards.'
'In possession of a bust and statuette of Sallana, as well as a Divine Trinket found by Lana (Eternal Rose)'
With the destruction of the Cathedral, it was important to preserve what relics and offerings that remained at the Shrine of Sallana, safeguarding them from any further destruction or collapse of the building. Also to keep them safe from looters, of which plenty were present even at the moment of the reclamation efforts.
Another individual (event NPC) was doing the same, though sought to safeguard the entire shrine rather than secure what was left within it. While Sophie was forced to calm down the worshipper from panicking at the idea of emptying the shrine to return the items and symbols of importance to either a different or new shrine at a later date, Linden returned after the reclamation efforts to ensure the worshipper would safely get home again, offering assurance and soothing their concerns of the fate and future of what they managed to save of the shrine.

-> ' *Organized and hosted a 'dinner date' for Daeron and Jenette, giving them an opportunity for a much needed heart to heart while being present as support.'
Especially with how close Linden and Lana are, Linden himself tries to mend and strengthen the relationships of friends and family when they are found struggling or in doubt. Generally, he is approached first about this, as was the case with Jenette and Daeron's situation. Creating a comfortable, romantic scene just for his two dear friends was an idea that didn't take long to form in his mind, and it helped mend their relationship a bit afterwards as a result, allowing what seemed like faltering love to endure for longer.
-> '*Thematic wedding between Linden and his betrothed Lana with a fellow Sallanite chosen as priest. Fireworks were launched throughout the continent in celebration.'
Love has always played a large part in Linden's life, especially sharing it with another. Asking his beloved's hand in marriage and finally being able to officially cement their bond through a wedding is proof of how strong their love and romance is.
