Language

The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Protocol

High Protocol

also known as formal protocol

A strict and formalised protocol commonly used in ceremonies, formal dinners and House events.

Definition

High protocol prescribes precise forms of address, movement, and etiquette. It may require specific posture, silence unless addressed, ritualised service, and clear hierarchy of presence. It is typically reserved for occasions where formality carries meaning, rather than for daily life.
