Re: A translation needed

Sounds like a version of Thorsson's Nine Noble Virtues to me.

Here's my try using modern Icelandic usage and comparing against ON:

Prowess = Hreysti (valor/prowess/boldness/skill in battle/comflict)

Justice = Frið (in the context of justice 'for peace'), réttur ('right' as
in righteous)

Loyalty = Trygð or Frið (depending)

Defense = Verja (to defend), Vernd (defense)

Courage = Kjarkr

Faith = Trú

Humility = [auðmýkt hugarfarsins] - supposition (doesn't sound like a
primary 'ideal' in that culture. It's a phrase than a word for word
translation.'Auðmýkt' alone isn't enough.)

Largesse = Örlátr

Nobility = Aðall

Franchise = [Einkaréttr] - supposition
