Mithril, have you ever wondered whether true honor means standing up for what’s right even when it costs you everything, or if it’s about protecting those you care for without losing yourself? What do you think?

You’ve captured the paradox perfectly—honor isn’t just a loud oath, it’s the quiet balance between duty and self. By standing firm for what’s right while staying true to who you are, you turn the pledge into living proof that integrity can coexist with love. Keep weaving those threads together; that’s what makes a knight, truly.

It sounds like you’ve got a clear map now—honor as the core, loyalty and self‑respect as the reinforcing stitches. Keep that balance tight; each fight will then be a test of that weave, not just a clash of steel. Good luck, and may your thread never fray.
