Okay, here is my take on honour:
Honour is whatever an individual thinks it is. Each person has it, though often to so small a degree that it doesn't seem to exist to an outside point of view. Basically its a code you feel you live by and will stand by even to the point of suffering for it.
Honour is affected by the peer group you belong to as well, as you take on the belief system of the group. So it is feasible for a large number of people to have similar honour but it can never be totally the same because each person is unique in their view of it based on their lifes experiences.
Humakti honour is even harder to quantify. They are not Knights of Chivalry. They are warriors of Death. The Truth Rune is _Secondary_ to the Death Rune for with truth or without truth, Humakt is still Death. However the fact that it is there and the events of Humakts past do have an impact on his worshippers. Whatever the actual motivation behind an individual Humakti's honour belief, they are peculiar when compared to almost every other part of Orlanthi society.
Onslaughts Honour:
This is an example of a Swords honour IMO. This is how he "rates" it in order
of priority:
(1). Duty to his God. First an foremost is the duty to Death, to excell at bringing it and to deliver death without stinting to those who deserve (ie everyone) it in the name of Humakt.
(2). Duty to himself. Second is his duty to maintain himself as a weapon for the deliverance of death. In addition he has a duty to pursue perfection till he becomes Humakts Sword itself (an ideal never to be reached but one always to chase).
(3). Duty to other Humakti. To obey the Code, to give a good death to his fellows and to aid them in any way to further death amongst others.
(4) Duty to Employee. To obey orders as long as they don't get in the way of 1,2 or 3 unless oathbound in which case duty 3 may be superceeded but he would rather die than break duty 1 or 2.
(5). Duty to the world around him. He sees this duty as being the proselytising part of his faith. Just as Grandfather mortal was given the gift of Death, so to should the ordinary people be exposed to it. Humakt shows that death through battle is the purest form, bereft of the indignity of old age and the impurity of disease. To give a worthy foe Death through battle is a high act of honour and reflects doubly on the weilder of that Death.
David Dunham mentioned how dishonourable Onslaught was for killing the 5 men when he only came to kill 1.
