The meaning of all three are subjective, and vary greatly depending on the views of a person.

'Honor' is a code of conduct, a formula of responses which follow the path of correct behavior and relations to other people as perceived by the individual.

'Duty' is an obligation, a series of actions one carries out because they believe they owe these to others.

'Loyalty' is the subjugation of one's self to an ideal or person. It places that thing above others in the consideration of the individual.

All three are either things that come voluntarily from inside a person, shaped by their own thoughts, or they can be predefined things that a person accepts from an outside source, and chooses to internalize.

Depending on the person, they can as rigid as a written set of legal rules, or they can be intangible ideals which are flexible and depend on the context of the situation.
