Manners and deportment are of significant importance amongst the Cats of Camelot. Failure to comply with the rules of deportment can lead to social problems for a cat.

At Court

Nobility

The Nobility seat themselves on the dias, below the royal family. They serve various functions at the request of the King and Queen, such as organizing the commoners and attending young princes and princesses. During the court the nobility is expected to give the commoners an opportunity to petition, and do what is within their power to honor requests.

Commoners

Durring court commoners are expected to seat themselves quietly in the public allotment of the space and conduct themselves quietly while the court is ongoing. Only during open petition are they supposed to speak.

Definitions

Mourning: The process of seeing the dead into the next life through rituals of privacy and societal rules. It is primarily observed by the Nobility when a family member or sovereign dies.
Deep Mourning: The most extreme form of mourning, typically spanning from the death until the time of the funeral. A form of "private" mourning.
Full Mourning: The first form of public mourning, and the most sever. The cat may attend services of the church, and formal functions of state such as Court, but is otherwise withdrawn from society.
Half Mourning: The second form of public mourning. The cat beings to reintegrate into society and re-expeince life now that their departed have been properly seen into the next life.
