Worldview & Thew

Thew joins communal custom and personal conduct: the ways learned through repeated practice, and the character formed as people live within them.

A gift may begin a bond; a promise gives another person grounds for reliance; a deed changes what others can reasonably expect. These relationships need judgement. Familiar customs can be sound or crooked, and the responsibilities of kinship, friendship, and office can require different responses.
