Testing ones Honor
through traditional ritual ordeals and examining ones behavior over
the past year to see if one has maintained Klingon standards is the
main focus of the Day of Honor. A warrior first feasts on targ
and drinks mot'loch from a ritual grail of Kahless. A ritual of
twenty pain sticks precedes a fight with a bat'leth master and
traversing the sulfur lagoons of Gorath.

questions.

are you willing to see the ceremony through to the end?
After receiving the proper responses The interrogator continues.
It will be a lengthy ordeal. First you will eat of the heart of a
sanctified targ. The heart of targ brings courage to the one who
eats it.

the glory of Kahless the greatest warrior of all time. Kahless
defeated his enemies on the field of battle and built a mighty empire.
