Etiquette Under Construction
Seen as how many of the story lines that we deal with here at Terre d'Ange are fete's and mixing with peers, nobles, and adepts. We thought it would be a good idea to add some tips when in a situation that players may be unfamiliar with.
Seen as how many of the story lines that we deal with here at Terre d'Ange are fete's and mixing with peers, nobles, and adepts. We thought it would be a good idea to add some tips when in a situation that players may be unfamiliar with.
- 1. Remember that adepts are always to bow to any peer no matter what that peer's station.
- 2. The title's for royalty can go as such;
- Your Royal Majesty: Formal greeting used only for Kings and Queens
- Your Majesty: Imformal greeting
- Crown Prince/ss: Formal and offical title for the Heir to the throne.
- Dauhin/e: Informal title for the heir who has not been officially named heir.
- Your Royal Highness: Formal greeting used for Prince/sses of royal standing only. Though with surnames directly related to the Queen (ie Courcel)
- Your Highness: Informal greeting for Prince/sses of royal standing, or formal greeting for Prince/sses by marriage. Thoughs that do not have surnames of the Queen.
- Your Grace: Formal greeting for those of high standing like Duc/hesses, or Sovereigns of a Province. Very Informal greeting for a royal member, usually used by close friends or kin.
- My Lord/Lady: Informal greeting to titled peers, but can be included with their proper title for a more formal greeting (ie My lady Duchesse).
- Madam: Formal greeting to a woman with no title or a playful titel for a woman of low peearge.
- Madamoiselle: Formal greeting to a young girl with no title, or a playful title for a young woman of low peerage.
- Monsieur: Formal greeting for a man or boy with no title, or of low peerage.
- Your Royal Majesty: Formal greeting used only for Kings and Queens
- 3. Members of a lower title (Marquis/e, Baron/ess, Vicomte/sse) should always remember to use a title when addressing a noble with a higher title (Duc/hesse, Comte/sse, Prince/ss). Those who have higher titles or similar title's my use first names of other characters.
- 4. A person of low title or peerage should absolutely not call a high ranking noble, or royal member by their first name unless invited to do so by that person. To do so would be very personal and a break in ettiquette.
