Code of Honor
The fundamental value to the Khor code of honor is to live one’s life so that it is worthy of respect and honor by all. The Khor attempt to live their lives by this code with all races, but they are more lenient of some of the other races due to the lack of understanding they may have. Blatant violations of honor are frowned upon by any Khor no matter the race.
The Right of Challenge is a base right that is provided for in the code of honor. All codes that apply to the Right of Challenge do not apply outside of a challenge. Any person may issue a challenge to another person, when issuing the challenge, the terms of this challenge must be specific and explained. The person being challenged may then choose to either except the challenge, to alter the terms of the challenge, or to decline the challenge.
In accepting a challenge, there is no dishonor win or lose unless the challenge has been issued to regain honor or one of the participants breaks the agreed upon code for the challenge.
In altering the terms of the challenge, the person that issued the challenge may withdraw the challenge rather than except the change in terms, there is no dishonor in either of these, nor is there a regaining of honor. The Khor issuing the challenge may then present one final challenge altering the terms one final time but must not be an exact restatement of the original terms. At this point the Khor being challenged must accept or decline the challenge.
When a person chooses to decline a challenge, then the person that has issued the challenge may not choose to challenge the same person again for a year and a day. After the waiting period, the challenger may reissue the challenge and this time the person must except the challenge as is (which must be the same as the original challenge issued) or be dishonored for declining the challenge.
A challenge can be used to regain honor if you have been dishonored. Three major rules to the Right of Challenge are that a person must not cheat, must never attack from behind, and must fight according to the terms of the challenge.
The code of honor provides for a basic lifestyle that all Khor usually try to abide by. The code of honor mandates that all people must show respect to authority, obey the law, exhibit courage in word and deed, fight with honor, never abandon a friend, ally or noble cause, always keep one’s word of honor, never betray a confidence, to show loyalty to your Clan and kinsmen, and to enjoy life, living it to its fullest.
