Each may accept a single Page to serve them.

Additional expenses (household servants, for example, or outside housing for senators) are provided from the private funds of a particular individual. Arrangements can also be made by those who hold no rank, to take offices in the Deliberative Palace, though this is unusual and thus requires political maneuvering.
Uniform
While attending sessions of the Deliberative, all Senators wear white robes trimmed in scarlet, Greater bearing House mon in gold. No weapons are permitted, nor are overclothes, armour, or modified robes, though headdress and jewelry are allowed.
Elected officers also must bear the panoplies of their stations:
Master of the Deliberative: A scarlet stole, edged in the colours of the five elements, with their House mon worked small in gold at the center of the Realm pentagram.
Incorruptible Secretary: The Bracers of the Intractable Scribe.
Guardian of the Enlightened Discourse: The Mantle of Certainty.
Master of the Lesser Chamber: A scarlet hood edged in gold.
Scrupulous Monitor of the Will of the People: A scarlet hood edged in silver.
Protector of the Debate: A scarlet hood edged in bronze.
This uniform is not mandatory outside of the Deliberative, and in fact for much of the Realm's history it has been uncommon to wear official robes to any external functions other than audiences at Court. With the appointment of the Imperial Regent, and the significant increase in the power of the Deliberative, this trend has entirely reversed, Senators now eager to display their influential positions to all.
