Code of Honor (Fianna)

-15 points Disadvantage

Should you wish to be a warrior, be quiet in a great man’s house, and quiet in the mountain pass.

Do not beat your hound without good reason; do not accuse your friend of anything without proof.

In battle, leave buffoons alone; they are just fools.

Do not criticize anyone of high repute; do not get involved in brawls; have nothing to do with madmen and wicked people.

Show two-thirds of your gentleness to women, little children, and poets, and do not be violent to the common people.

Do not boast, or say you will not yield what is right; it is shameful to boast if you cannot carry out your boasts.

Do not forsake your lord as long as you live; do not abandon those you are sworn to protect, for gold or any other reward.

Do not abuse a clan in front of its chief, because that is not the work of a man of gentle blood.

Do not gossip or tell lies; do not talk too much or criticize others; do not stir up hostility against yourself, no matter how good a fighter you are.

Do not frequent drinking houses, or make fun of old people; and leave poor people in peace.

Be generous with your meat, and do not make friends with miserly people.

Do not force yourself upon a chief, or cause him to say bad things about you.

Keep hold of your gear; do not let go of your arms until the fight with its weapons-glitter is ended.

Be more keen to give than to deny, and always be gentle.
