> That happened in the Knight cabal with the ideal of Honor to an extreme degree. Here's an easy example: would you get thrown out of Knights if two Knights jumped on one Empire who was trying to raid? Well, no, you wouldn't. The happy Knight books said you could do it, because the Knight cabal also had this ideal of protecting the Light. Is that honorable, though? Well, no, it's not. If you aspired to Cador's tattoo or any other position of extreme honor you probably shouldn't be doing that. Knights being off on the honor ideal as held by the cabal got much worse if you went away from the (relatively) straightforward issue of parity in combat, something which is a long way from the whole of the honor issue.
When Lachdanan deleted, I thought the Knights lost a quality player
due to a number of reasons. His knowledge of Honor, Cador's religion,
and Knights in general was incredible. He set a great example. If he
had been around or some like him, the cabal might had survived.
Just after being inducted, the castle was raided, and to my knowledge
Lachdanan was in the pk range of the people hitting in outer guardian.
He didn't touch them until the outer guardian fell. He set a great
example of how a honorable knight should be.
Your example also points to the fact that the issue of promoting the
Honor was never resolved with being a protector of the Light. The books
did require that we protect the outer guardian. Not once, did I hear
that ever refuted by the leadership.
