"Few warriors are more dedicated to honour and the code of the warrior than the samurai. Trained from an early age in the art of war and sworn to the service of a lord, the samurai holds a position of power and respect, often serving as the voice and justice of the nobility. The samurai takes on his training with zeal, learning the way of the blade (typically a katana), the bow, and the horse. Some even learn how to effectively use firearms, if they are available. The samurai is often the most trusted soldier in his lord’s employ. In him, the common folk see honour and sacrifice. He is an honourable warrior, dedicated to the realm and the leaders that guide it."
