Ceremonies and Traditions[]
Colors at Sunset / Rise[]
Colors at Sunrise (also known as Colors informally) is a naval ceremony in which all flags (Also known as "Colors") are raised during Sunrise to signify the beginning of the day, formally at 0800.
Raised Alliance Naval Ensign at Lion's Landing.
While at shore, sailors will raise two flags; The Grand Alliance Naval Ensign and the Kul Tiras Navy Ensign. It begins with a green and orange flag known as the 'prep' to be raised before the others. This signifies the beginning of the ceremony. Sailors will then do what is known as, 'knocking the block' in which the sailor (Typically a Seaman) will drop the prep down half way and raise it up. He or she would repeat it three times before awaiting the command, "Make it so!", where the ship's bell is rung and a Bosun's Pipe is called. With that, all Ensigns are raised, and the Prep is lowered. Once that is complete, the ceremony would be completed and the Color's Party will 'Secure their Halyard', effectively tying off the lines for the day.
Colors at Sundown[]
Colors at Sundown (also known as Colors informally), is a naval ceremony in which all flags (Also known as "Colors") are lowered during sundown to signify the end of the day. This occurs when the last glimpse of the Sun vanishes over the horizon.
Once the Sun is no longer visible, all personnel in the vicinity will stand at attention, facing the ensign as it is lowered, and crisply form a salute with the right hand.
Oath of Service[]
Upon the joining of the Kul Tiras Fourth Fleet, all service personnel are required to take an oath before a senior commissioned officer or noble. The oath is taken with the right hand lifted into the air while the left is held frontwards over the ensign of the Kingdom.
"I, <FULL NAME>, hereby swear, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, to defend and serve the Kingdom of Kul Tiras's nobility, lands, laws and citizens with my life. I will demonstrate unwavering obedience to all officers appointed over me, and will execute all lawful orders unquestionably."
Upon the completion of the oath by the taker, the senior commissioned officer will proceed to raise his right and left hand in the same manner of the taker, stating:
"I, <FULL NAME>, representative of the House of Proudmoore, bear witness and accept <TAKERS NAME> oath of service. Under the guidance of the laws of Kul Tiras, I will diligently strive to lead you in the faithful discharge of the duties of which you have sworn to."
