** The killing-one's-enemies part is still seen as honourable nowadays...
*** The exact extent of this trope depends on who you talk to.
** Codes of honor differ and the [[Hordes From the East]] even at their best would hardly have behaved like a fairy tale [[Knight in Shining Armor]]. Being able to [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]] without your enemy being able to do anything about it would likely have been considered a way to show off what a [[Badass]] [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Warrior]] you were by [[Take That|rubbing in your enemy's face]] what an incompetent [[Papa Wolf]] he was. They would likely have thought it "honorable". It was evil but unfortunately often times not only are [[Humans Are Warriors|humans warriors]], they are often [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|bastards]]. And before someone mentions it, yes that is a disgusting thought.
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: Genghis and Hoelun hit the airag pretty hard after {{spoiler|Temulun}} dies.
