Honor in the sense of "if I do good things I will be respected, if I do bad things people will be repulsed by my very presence, and this system makes me actually materially change my behavior for the better and not just be a hypocrite".

    Stupid Musings ,badly writen :

    Honor is not a good things Honor is the Honourable thing , it has its own skale. Thats sometimes really stupid shit. (Duells ?) .
    Honor is often connected to Status and the Honor of the First Estate is another kind then the Honor of the Third . And be aware the honor of the third estate is doing stupid shit for the first. For the First Estate sharing half a Cloth with a Beggar is sometimes is all it takes. Its basiclly if you follow your "Mandate" / "Privlige" , and the ruling mandate is protection of the "Landeskinder" , (their 'Landeskinder') Honourable you are therefore if you protect your "Landeskinder".

    I give you a Honorable Lord He was involved in stuff you might have heard about .. forfilling his "Mandate" . Therefore still remembered Fondly.. "the Wise"

    and a Traitor to his Subjects whos traitorism you also remember in a way. You remember them as Hessian . Bye having the name remebered it allready proofs his dishonourment. Because it could have been so many other shitty little Fiefdoms , but they all had more "Honor". And in germany school still give you Schiller - "Kabale und Liebe" to read .. so he is remembered that way. dishonoured. And because this is Dynastie shit its was actually important what we think of them today , in their past doings..
