You can take the sword out and use it as a sword should be used, but doing so causes it to acquire the nicks and scratches a blade suffers under regular use. If you desire, you can spend time and manpower to whet back its edge, clean the tarnish, and make the sword look presentable again, but it will never be the same sword that it would be had it remained in its case, untouched except to be cleaned.
However, in order to be so valued that it was put on display, a sword would have already seen some use beforehand. It was already flawed before being placed upon its case of honour.

Everyone has a different standard, and different criteria for who they personally consider a hero. But usually? A capital H Hero seems to be someone who people from every fealty and every walk of life revere because of their actions. And that only becomes commonly known when they die. I like what Dame Thena has said as well. We'll never know most everyday heroes, because their work goes unnoticed and unrecognized. But without them, life would most assuredly be less.

You see, I have just found in my time, that when you set someone up like that, you mark them. You make it so that when they come to the gates and find they cannot trespass, when they see their luck won't hold and it is wiser to retreat, that they will not. As though the hands of multitudes push at their backs. Push them into those black flames. Chanting their name.
That is a hard thing to do to a good soul. You lay that guilt on them and it's a kind of corruption in itself. But people are just like that; tradition-lovers, storytellers, singers and scribes. They want to honor sacrifice and noble deeds.
I don't know.
I only know the way I've seen it. But that is how I've seen it time and time again. That when I have seen stone statues lying in their coffins, they have all had feet of clay.

This is a list of some living heroes. This is not all inclusive, some on this list are heroes for reasons that are stories that are no one's to share yet, and sometimes they just resonate more strongly with me:
Duke Gabriel Bisland
Princess Marian Redrain
Lady Aislin Ashford
Princess Alis Valardin
Duchess Margot Tyde
Sir Daemon and Dame Ida
This list is not complete as I don't have enough paper to list everyone I believe to have earned the title of hero in thier life time. I would wager most have thier own lists.

The sad truth of the matter, though, is that many of the people we consider heroes and honor as such had sickening truths to them - truths that are easier to ignore once they are dead, truths that are easier to fathom in the contexts of their whole lives. They did not always do the right thing, by any means, yet some of the things they did are such shining examples that we choose to follow them. There is also the issue that what one people finds heroic, others might find monstrous. There are a number of statues in the Hall of Heroes you would never see outside of their own halls for this reason.
Heroism is embodying the ideals of your people. And if you are led to believe you are a hero while alive, well, then you are going to find it really easy to justify doing anything you want - after all, you're doing it, so it must be heroic. There are a few prominent, dangerous examples of this, so it's probably best to just wait until people die.
Or I suppose you say 'fuck it', recognize that your life will be a legendary thing, and work as hard as you can to make sure that when it's looked at, people will be inspired.
