Etiquette for the Modern Serf

Step 1: Arrive at the manor in your finest rags. Make sure to bring a small, portable shrine to your favorite lord or lady of the manor.

Step 2: Greet the manor's inhabitants with a mix of obsequious flattery and veiled threats.

Example: "Oh, gracious lord/lady, I am so honored to have the chance to serve you and your family! But if I don't receive a decent spot on the manor's couch, I shall be forced to unleash my wrath upon the nearby village."

Step 3: Engage in witty repartee and clever wordplay with the manor's residents. This will help to establish your status as a worthy serf.
