A Simple Guide To Human Courtship

Summary:

The people of the Human Kingdoms are vast in size, to assume all Humans preform the same courtship rituals would be a bit of an insult. From the proud and plentiful Katolians of the East to the humbler and a wise Evenerans of the South each Kingdom host its own unique style of Courtship and Marriage.

Notes:

I've been thinking a lot about the human kingdoms and decided they need a little bit more love in more ways than one and what better way to do it then trying to make it look like the Xadia Handbook!

And a special thank you to @youruinedmylifebynotbeingreal for letting me show them and helping me with beta reading!! 🫶

Finally decided to put this on AO3 as some of these headcanons I plan on using for future fics.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Summary:

Are you an Elf navigating how to court your smooth-skulled friend? Or a confused Neolandian trying to figure out the codes every other human kingdom seems to work in? Or are you wondering what to expect when going to your Del Barian friend's wedding? Look no further than this guide!

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“What message do you think it gives the people if you choose to marry a human?”

“There is no message. The only message is that I’ve chosen this amazing woman as my wife.”

 

Prince Karim to his sister, Queen Janai

A Simple Guide To Human Courtship

 

The people of the Human Kingdoms are vast in size, to assume all Humans preform the same courtship rituals would be a bit of an insult. From the proud and plentiful Katolians of the East to the humbler and a wise Evenerans of the South each Kingdom host its own unique style of Courtship and Marriage.

This guide aims to give a quick and simple breakdown of the human kingdoms for those lucky in love looking to court a human. Just remember, all humans are different and some are more traditional than others, some may even wish to abandoned tradition all together. What is important is your intentions and how clear you make them.
