The Keeper of the Family Honor, or Keeper of the House Honor, is a position that is responsible for maintaining the Dictum Honorium and communicating to the people of the Draconis Combine the importance of honor.
History[edit]
The position was established not by any decree, but instead by the work of Omi Kurita in the twenty-fourth century. By maintaining the Dictum Honorium and going on speaking engagements promoting the ideals contained within, she earned the title, and carved out the position. The position has no formal authority, but commanded some degree of respect.[1]
In 2410, the Keeper was given complete control over the ivory trade by Parker Kurita and this action eventually led to the formation of the Order of Five Pillars, greatly expanding the influence of the position of Keeper of the Family Honor.[2]
