 Being a favorite of the Emperor is dangerous; according to [[Third-Who-Was]], the "second-pillow life" is dangerous and people who are respected enough to hold that role usually become dangerous enough to be killed. Second is a notable exception, having been the Emperor's Second for his entire time on the throne, up until the arrival of Lisinthir.<ref name="etw-02" />

 ===Dining Customs===
 The court eats its evening meal at the [[Throneworld Court Palace#Fields |Fields]], outdoors. Tables are set in a horseshoe shape with the [[Emperor Kauvauc Ueneuvin |Emperor]] at the top of the horseshoe and the least favored (traditionally including the Alliance Ambassador) at the ends. The tables are low, and diners sit at them on pillows atop mounds that indicate their status. A sure sign of rising favor with the Emperor is being 'promoted' to a seat closer to him. Duels, and the Emperor's justice, both take place in the space bounded by the horseshoe.<ref name="etw-01" /><ref name="etw-02" />

 Poison tasters taste the food and drink for prominent members of the Court. The Emperor's most trusted male--the one who, it is said, values the Emperor most (and the feeling may be mutual) serves as his poison taster: until [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]] took over this role, he had always had his drink tasted by [[Second-Who-Was]]. The Emperor's drinking vessel is a heavy metal chalice.<ref name="etw-01" /><ref name="etw-02" />
 ===Harem Customs===
@@ Line 48: / Line 71: @@
 It is still considered proper to approach the [[Queen Ransomed |Slave Queen]] by flying into a lower harem and then walking up; this custom dates back to when the Queen Ransomed was a respected figure, and has not died out even in the modern era where females are nonpeople.<ref name="etw-02" />
+===Child Rearing===
 ===Death Rites===
 The noble males, after killing one another, show no respect for the corpses, which are often heaved off balconies and left for carrion eaters, or dropped in the sea. The servants of the palace observe their own death rites, however, which involve wrapping the body in fragrant linen strips, wetted with oil that would speed the burning of the corpse when it is placed on a pyre. <ref name ="fr-pro">''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]],'' Prologue</ref> These bodies are burned in the morning, before the court woke, and when the light would not be as likely to be noticed. Sprigs of the everdawn herb are arranged somewhere near the face, as a symbol of the Living Air's promise that all Chatcaava will go where it is always morning. <ref name ="mp-legacy">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) | Major Pieces]],'' Legacy</ref>

	Palace maintenance is done by a combination of individuals Outside (all male, usually specialists or authorities), and a fleet of female and castrate servants. This team oversees the environs immediately outside the palace (the grounds and the herds used for food) and the buildings themselves. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, repair and maintenance of systems (mechanical and computer), provisioning, accounting, lawncare, livestock handling and butchering, bodyservants, nursery attendants, interior decorating (and repair for frequent destruction of, or wear on pillows, sheets, curtains, glassware, etc), and oversight and decoration of harem females. Additionally medical care--advanced for the lords and minor for the servants--is undertaken by this team.

	The top of this hierarchy is a male known as the Overseer. This male is an appointee out of Second's column, and reports to the hand of Second. He is a courtier/uncut male, and Inside, and is aligned with the current power structure. He can hire, fire, kill, or replace those Outside staff working for the palace, but his power over them is otherwise minimal, particularly if his superiors like the Outside staff. He has free rein with the servants, however, and their organization, roles, duties, living arrangements, feeding, and health are completely in his power.

	Female servants compose the majority of the menial labor, with castrate help; the ratio of female-to-castrate is high because most male servant children are killed at birth. Only a few are cut and remanded to the labor pool.
