Bushido

The Virtues of Bushido are:

Gi (Honesty) - Lies are for lesser men; Bushi having nothing to fear from the truth.

Yu (Courage) - A Bushi stands above his fear. All Samurai place their lives on the line for their lord.

Jin (Compassion) - The wise are merciful. To be cruel is selfish; to be selfish is to deny one's place in the Celestial Order.

Rei (Courtesy) - Respect one of the strongest traditions of Rokugan. The Empire would quickly fall otherwise.

Meyo (Honor) - It has been said the true honor cannot be defined in words. Those without it will never understand.

Makoto (Sincerity) - A Samurai's words and his actions are one and the same. To 'promise' would be redundant.

Chugo (Duty) - All must recognize their place in the Celestial Order, and act accordingly. The Bushi knows this intimitly.
