Honorable deeds are tales of Renown in which a werewolf proves they are wolves of their word, that their principles are stronger than steel. Garou earn Honor when they make a difference thanks to duty, promises, tradition, fair judgment, sacrifice, obedience to the Litany, and doing the right thing despite the cost.

Garou earn Honor by following their moral imperative to uphold the laws of the Garou. It refers to a fundamental belief in the wisdom of their society's laws, which all derive from the ultimate standard of Garou behavior: the Litany. To gain Honor Renown among Garou society shows an individual to be of honesty, integrity, and respect. Honor can be a rare trait, but werewolves who have it strive to maintain their honor with ferocity for fear of losing it.

Werewolves hold themselves to the highest possible standards in the name of Honor. That's not to say that they feel superior to others -- a Garou who looks down his nose at his compatriots isn't exactly behaving honorably towards them. Those who tolerate a braggart will soon surpass him. Instead, a werewolf holds himself to high standards in the sometimes vain hope of staving off pride.

Honor, after all, is all about self-control. Not just the self-control that comes with upholding strict principles when easier alternatives abound, but the iron will to avoid falling into frenzy. When berserk, a Garou is capable of all manner of evil acts. More than a few newly-Changed Garou have awakened after a frenzy to find themselves soaked in blood and bereft of honor.

You may earn Honor by having a Galliard tell the tale as described in the Renown rules.
