Great idea Aarth, am i still going to be judge? Also, there could be duels regurlarly or a sword fight against the general for disobeying realm orders etc. Losing a duel lowers you honour in the realm and winning gains it (not actually altering your h/p). --Bengrindy
I have some ideas to offer:
Religion: have the realm support two religions, one based on Buddhism and one based on Shintoism.
Buddhism: multi-theist, meditation, suffering, enlightenment; focuses on mountain regions; name/symbol revolves around lotus or the eight-spoked wheel (Way of the Lotus? The Eightfold Path?)
Shintoism: nature worship, community, the seasons, the harvest; focuses on woodland regions; name/symbol revolves around nature (Naturalism?)
If Tom ever cracks down on national religions in non-Theocracies, this will give you ample protection.
The honor code should be simplified and clarified, or you'll have lots of arguments over whether someone violated #3 in order to follow #5, or whether #2 or #4 is more sacred, and silliness like that. I suggest something simple such as:
Honor, Duty, Glory
Or slightly more poetical:
Honor over Duty / Duty over Glory / Glory before Death / Death before Dishonor
Not sure if I want to join the ream yet. No character slots left. Anyway, hope that helps. GoldPanda 00:01, 11 December 2007 (CET)
