Renown

Renown is fame. Something renowned or of renown is legendary, what legends are made of. In some cases, stories of a legendary warrior would intimidate or even strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. On the other hand, it would bolster the courage and pride of all on the side of the legendary warrior.
