Personages at Marrowmont
Pages are usually young boys between the ages of 8 and 12 who are fostered from elsewhere. They are sent from their mother's home to another household to learn what a young nobleman must learn, including his letters (though not all do very well), some minor skill at arms, but most importantly etiquette and an understanding of politics and the Houses. Pages are expected to serve as personal servants for the House's family, usually running messages, errands and pouring wine at table. Pages are officially the responsibility of the Lady of the House.

A boy has to be at least 12 before anyone will consider taking him on as a squire. A squire serves an individual knight or lord, who continues his training in skill at arms, riding, a nobleman's etiquette, chivalry and the like. A squire who impresses his master may be knighted, but some squires remain squires their entire lives, particularly if they can't afford the horse, armor and weapon that are required of knights.

Lady's maids are often gently born, the daughters of knights at the very least. Their responsibility is to be the companions of the Lady of the House, assisting her with her duties and in return learning how to run a household. The Lady is also the guardian of their innocence during that time, particularly for younger girls, but part of the social contract is that the Lady will help these young women find good husbands for them in return for their loyalty and hard work. Those ladies who marry men of the household frequently continue to function as lady's maids, especially since they are often fast friends (or at least confidants) of the Lady's by that point.
