Being Armed and Armored
Unknown individuals bearing arms and armor are often viewed with suspicion, especially when walking the streets of a city. People tend to be more guarded, until you gain their trust. Also, certain establishments may require you to relinquish your arms while you are a guest. Few establishments would risk leaving the weapons in a place where they can easily be stolen, for they do no wish to suffer the wrath of the guilds.
This attitude is more relaxed in border towns where danger is expected.
Gift Giving
It's customary to offer small tokens of appreciation after receiving help or hospitality, even if it’s something simple like a flower or a handmade item.

Bowing and Curtsies
In formal settings, it is customary to bow or curtsy when meeting lords, ladies, and officials as a sign of respect. The depth of the bow or the grace of the curtsy varies depending on the rank of the person being greeted, with deeper gestures reserved for higher nobility or royalty. Failing to observe these courtesies can be seen as disrespectful or rude in some circles.
