Learnings: Justice and Honour

Honour was something ancient Scandinavians cherished. Sometimes called heiðr, meaning "brightness," honour was said to shine. This idea of honour as a visible quality that received its shape from the gaze of others was central to ostentatious displays of wealth or to bragging about successes in combat.
Scandinavians engraved their memories in stone to make sure their reputations never died.
