Rihannsu life in terms of Honor. Mnhei'sahe is primarily occupied with courtesy to the
people around one: this courtesy, depending on circumstances, may require killing a person
to do him honor, or severely disadvantaging oneself on his behalf. There are many
ramifications too involved to go into, but generall Mnhei'sahe is satisfied if all the
parties to an agreement feel that their "face" or honor is intact after a
(social) or other transaction. NB: The concept has occasionally been mistranslated as
implying that a given action is done "for another person's good." This is
incorrect; such a concept literally does not exist in Rihannsu culture. One does things
for one's own good -- or rather, the good of one's honor, and if properly carried out, the
actions in question will have benefitted the other parties in the transaction as well.)
