Fidelity

The word fidelity simply means being faithful.

There are many things that you can be faithful to, not all of them of honourable. Fidelity as used here refers to being faithful or loyal to God, to yourself and your beliefs, to your family, and to your friends.

The warrior will defend his family and friends no matter what the cost, because of his dedication to this virtue.

Being loyal and faithful to those that the warrior loves is non-negotiable. The Vikings knew this. If someone murdered a Viking's family, he or she would have an obligation to seek vengeance and puts things right.

This is not the same thing as seeking revenge. There is a difference in revenge and in fulfilling an obligation to your loved ones.

Only those with honour can be true friends because it takes loyalty, faithfulness and honour to be a true friend.

All others are mere acquaintances.

I am the true warrior, so the true warrior is also a true friend once that bond has been entered into.

He will take his fidelity to his friends and family seriously, as he does his spiritual relationship with his God.
