I gots an open qvestion for de netvork: vhat does "honor" mean to hyu? Iz it de same or different den "duty" or "loyalty"? Does hyu try to live "honorably", und vhat does dot involve?

De more dot I hears about vhat a samurai iz und does, de more I iz reminded of de Jagerkin. Loyalty to de Master or Mistress until death, und a few odder tings here und dere, make me very curious. Perhaps ve could learn a ting or two from dem, und dey from us. I gots to admit, though, dot I finds dis "honor" ting both fonny und confusing...

Somebody might have to perform a task as part of their duty, that they don't find honourable in the least. It might be somebody's duty to slay somebody, but they might find the act abhorrent, despite this.
Somebody might be loyal to somebody who doesn't share their ideals of honour, also. In this situation you may, like the previous, be forced to do something dishonourable for that person. It depends which comes out on top how you feel about it though. If your loyalty to them overrides the honour, it will win out and you'll do it anyway. If your honour doesn't allow you to do it despite your loyalty, well... you may need to reconsider that devotion.
It may also be your duty to do one thing, but you may be loyal to something else. For instance, you may be an Ivonian born person, on board an openly anti-Ivona ship, which you are attached to. What happens then? Do you keep to your duty and side with the ship, or do you stick with where your loyalties lie and side with Ivona?
The three shouldn't be confused, though sometimes they cross over. It all depends on circumstance.
I try and live honourably as far as one can in my line of work, yes. Luckily, I have no loyalties to interfere with this honour except to the Guild and my only duty is to uphold the honour of it.
