Yeah, I'm pretty sure it says that earlier.

Okay. Will be fixed.

It says 'or', so the player chooses either the 6 cubes orthagonally adjacent
(faces touching) or the 8 cubes diagonally adjacent (corners touching). This
means no Cubes touching only at an edge can be affected.

No, they could take glory or whatever the other one is. Oh wait, I see. I
mean to say any type of Permanent Renown. Will also be fixed. Also, they
don't lose the honor right away, so they have one more than they did for a
week. This exists mostly in case there is ever a time at which having a
certain amount of some kind of renown triggers something, which it may in
the future.
