'''The Celtic Code of Honor''': This consists of three parts; hospitality, truthfulness, and revenge. Celts respect hospitality highly, and if anyone visits you in your home, you are expected to feed him and give him a bed for the night without asking questions. On the other hand, if you accept someone’s hospitality, it is polite to tell who you are and why you are there. No one is respected less in the Celtic world than an inhospitable person. You must even give hospitality to a sworn enemy, as long as he is under your roof. Celts strive to tell at least the letter, if not the spirit, of the truth. If they make promises, they fulfill them no matter the consequences; there is a proverb, “Eating a mouse includes the tail.”

Vengeance is one of the driving forces of Celtic culture. If someone kills a member of your clan, it is your duty to get revenge on the clan that did it. But you can’t get this revenge by subterfuge: an open challenge to combat is the usual way, and if someone challenges you to single combat, no one else must join in, no matter how badly you are doing. The Celtic Code of Honor is worth -10 points in a campaign
in the Celtic world.
