MEAD:
- a femented honey wine
- Items needed to serve: mead horn, bottle of mead, or tapped from the
cask in the cold room.
- Serve style: Mead is either poured directly from the cask into the horn
OR horn and bottle are brought before the Free. Horn is brought between
thighs and the mead is poured in (skipped if mead is served directly
from the cask). Then the slave presses the horn to her slave belly to
show devotion. It may then be raised to her heart to show her love of
serving and a blessing may be offered for the One being served. The
slave then kisses the SIDE of the vessel, not the rim (a slave's lips
never touch where a Free's will).
- Served as the Free wishes it (room temperature or chilled).

the serve follows the same steps as mead (above).

used for travelling. Since we're in a permanent village, botas are not
used when serving in the Great Hall. If we are going on a hunting trip,
then a Free may ask you to prepare a drink in a bota to take along.
Otherwise, no botas.

education. WE DO NOT HAVE SUL PAGA HERE. If a Master asks for it, politely
inform him that it is not available this far north and could you bring
