Honour is two things. Honour is social capital tied to material wealth. In this mode, when you lose your honour, you sometimes lose your house. This does not mean, however, that you also lose the second thing that honour is: dignity and self-reliance, the willingness to sacrifice for what you love and what you represent.

The first type of honour buries and represses the second type, concealing its face from the lord and master. But we always know that it is there, haunting the hollow red armour, threatening hell.
