{{image|Cultivation and Honor by ML Malandrino.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Honor and [[Cultivation]]}}
=== Creation ===
The Shard of Honor was created, like all others, at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]], and picked up by [[Tanavast]]. Though the Shards had an agreement to go their own separate ways, he and [[Cultivation]] traveled together to the [[Rosharan system]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}}{{wob ref|1169}} However, whatever the actual text of the agreement, Honor did not consider his actions to be breaking it, or exploiting a loophole in it.{{wob ref|10835}} The reason for that could be that Tanavast and Cultivation's vessel were romantically involved.{{wob ref|2786}}
=== Death ===

|I remember at the end Honor was more obsessed with oaths. There were times when the oath itself was more important than the meaning behind it. But he was not a passionless monster. He loved humankind. He died defending you.

Honor is well-known among the Rosharan people, and worshipped as a god.{{book ref|sa1|75}} [[Vorinism]] calls him the '''Almighty''' and claims that he's the only deity, considering worship of [[Cultivation]] to be pagan.{{book ref|sa3|29}} He's believed to be the creator of both Roshar and humanity.{{book ref|sa1|7}} In the Vorin tradition, he has ten names, the last of which, Elithanathile, is only used by [[ardent]]s, the Vorin priests.{{book ref|sa1|7}} It's said he resides in the hearts of all people.{{book ref|sa1|45}} As it's commonly believed that perceiving him directly would cause one to burst into flames from his sheer glory, he's typically represented by a divine prism with ten facets.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{book ref|sa1|33}}
Honor is also worshipped in [[Azir]] and the surrounding countries, though there he's known simply as God.{{book ref|sa3|122}} [[Singer]]s worshipped him and Cultivation once, before the arrival of [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|111}}
