One question. Just because people find Vikings dishonourable and thus
making them dishonourable in the eyes of everyone else. Why does that give
them a limit to things WITHIN the barony of makar. Such as obtaining
government positions and having a big unit.

Yes, I know you have to play as a noble but realm standards are pretty much
always different. What the continent thinks of you shouldn't change if you
can obtain a title or not.
