- Always be aware of my title as well as titles of those I am interacting with.
- Show humility toward higher titles (honorably pull back in arguints, on elections, etc.).
- Always speak the truth.
- Hold to my word and to oaths I pledged.
- Respect, protect, obey and never betray my lige.
- Be respectful toward nobility, especially toward those of higher title (natives, foreign or even enemies at the time of war (unless there is hatered between nations)).
