Samurai are proud martial warriors noted for their bravery, loyalty, and adherence to honor.[1]

Tactics[]

Samurai carry two blades, a long curved sword know as a katana (similar to a more conventional bastard sword) as well as a smaller blade called a wakazashi (which is roughly the size of a short sword).[1]

Society[]

Samurai began to appear in the closing decades of the Last War as certain mercenary groups abandoned national loyalties and instead swore to serve select members of the Galifar's ancient royal families, whom they claimed were the only legitimate heirs. Calling this movement the Code of Honorable Devotion (which is believed to have developed among the dwarves of the Mror Holds) and calling themselves samurai, these warriors swore their lives and their honor to their patrons.[2]

Samurai traditions are strongest among the former citizens of Cyre, as well as the dwarves of the Mror Holds. These two groups are not however the only place where samurai warriors exist and their numbers can be counted within the militaries of Aundair, Breland, Thrane, Karrnath and Q'barra.[2]
