Mourning Bands

Mourning Bands are a Montian tradition used for mourning the dead.  It involves wearing simple metallic bands on the arm and neck, either for a fixed period of time (usually three months, but this varies) or simply until the bereaved has found a way to cope with their loss.  Sometimes the name of the departed is engraved on the inside of the bands, or simple symbols, or an epitaph of sorts.
