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.

Etiquette

Pack Etiquette

The shared expectations governing conduct within a Pack.

Definition

Pack Etiquette covers the customs, courtesies and expectations that shape behaviour within a Pack: greeting rituals, deference to seniority where relevant, care of new members, respect for gear, conduct at events and how conflict is raised and resolved. Etiquette may be explicit or transmitted informally.

Historical background

Distinctive etiquettes emerged as Packs took shape and began hosting regular gatherings, contests and moshes.

Discussion

Etiquette varies from Pack to Pack. Newcomers are commonly advised to observe before adopting behaviour and to ask when uncertain.
