circle customs --

[[+] breanna]

A small but detailed DO'S and DON'TS list to help familiarize you with the different circle's ways.

behavior and conduct
many of these rules below are lax, but some, such as violence, are taboo

// each wane, the blackshards and the skyseekers must meet in peace at the lost castle during the full moon to exchange news and negotiations.
// respect is to be shown to all members of the respective circle, especially those at rank of speaker, manic, or healer/priest.
// speaker's word is law.
// kittens are appointed mentors at the age of seven wanes. // un-needed bloodshed is a waste.
// the speaker shall remain kitless and so will the manic, unless special measures have been taken.
// it is not appropriate for a male manic and female speaker (or vice versa) to share quarters.
// cross-clan mating is frowned upon.
// if any kit is deemed in danger (no matter what circle they belong to), it is every cat's duty to make sure that kitten is brought to safety.

tradition and dining

// prey is to be eaten, not played with.
// the choice pieces of prey shall be given to either the vitas, or the speaker and manic.
// it is inappropriate for a cat to eat while performing duties such as hunting or patrolling the border.
// speakers must be older than 20 wanes.
// manics must have overseen an ember's training and shown their worthiness in battle before being appointed.
