(n., traditional)

A public display of a vassal’s subservience and dedication to his lord or the Prince. Also, the formal ceremony of homage in which a Kindred ritually gives himself to be his lord’s “man.” In the Byzantine dealings of the Danse Macabre, the public declaration of a vassal’s fealty is the essential element of homage. “If you are still loyal, then kneel now and pay me homage here where your Sanctified cousins can see.”
