Novice Rules, Behavior and Etiquette

• Novices should curtsey to all Aes Sedai and Accepted, and be respectful at all times. This includes never interrupting when an Aes Sedai or Accepted is speaking, never turning away if they are being spoken to, and answering all questions straight away and truthfully. They can leave only when dismissed.

• Novices should use common sense and discretion when dealing with males of any rank. Chatting about the weather in a public place is perfectly acceptable. Canoodling in a private corner of the garden is not.

• A novice must never grasp Saidar without permission or supervision by an Aes Sedai or Accepted.

• Novices must never leave the Tower grounds without permission.

• There are other things that a novice will learn through time about both her attitude and behaviour. Before being raised to Accepted novices should know about composure, for example not looking at the ground constantly, acting with a little grace and decorum, having good table manners and neatness of appearance.
