Of Blood and Honor, Chris Metzen

This short story features the tale of Lord Paladin Tirion Fordring, a Knight of the Silver Hand. In it, he learns a harsh lesson about honor when he discovers an orc (Eitrigg) in an otherwise abandoned tower. He returns days later, knowing that the orc saved his life. Tirion then strikes a deal with Eitrigg, promising to let him live in peace so long as he remains hidden. This action and the ones that follow do not sit well with the Order of the Silver Hand, and the consequences for Tirion are dire, however he refuses to go back on his word.
