Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Níðingr ====== A níðingr is a person regarded as dishonorable, shameful, or untrustworthy. The word belongs to the language of reputation: it marks someone whose conduct has made them contemptible in the eyes of the community. In a campaign, níðingr should not be used for every enemy. It fits betrayal, oath-breaking, cowardice that endangers others, murder under guest-right, abuse of the helpless, or public refusal to accept responsibility after a grave wrong. ===== Table Use ===== * Use the accusation sparingly so it keeps weight. * Let witnesses, public memory, and reputation matter. * Give accused characters a chance to answer, compensate, duel, confess, or repair the harm. * Avoid treating níðingr as a simple alignment label. ===== Related Pages ===== * [[culture:drengr|Drengr, Víkingr, and Níðingr]] * [[culture:outlaw|Outlawry]] * [[culture:holmgang|Hólmganga]] culture/nidingr.txt Last modified: 2026/07/04 00:38by Seraphina
