Honor, Glory, and Status

So, those three stats work differently than they did in 4th edition.
They are three separate "social currencies". Much more malleable and fluid than the more or less static scores of before. These are three different things that characters can use to procure goods and serices. You could stake glory that "I will accomplish this task!" temporarily lowering your glory to then achieve higher glory score after you've done the task, as well as maybe get a little extra.
Please refer to pg. 300 of the Legend of the Five Rings Core Rulebook.
Status might be the most static of the three currencies. But it's not like every one knows "Oh, this person is Status 57, that person is Status 12". Every one is roughly aware of where they stand in the celestial order, but you aren't able to tell "This person has this background, they have that background, etc."
