Samurai

Samurai are warriors hailing from the continent of Shokono. They serve the noble lords of these lands as their military elite and retainers. Sworn to the bushido code, Samurai are masters of various forms of combat, both mounted and on foot. It is rumored that the Samurais affinity for swords is nearly unmatched, and that this is due to their devotion to their Code. These rumors also state that one would be lucky to encounter a samurai on foot, for their skill with bows upon a horse rarely leaves such an opportunity.

Being noble retainers, The Samurai are sworn military leaders, and as such their devotion and service will gain them renown with their lords. This renown takes the form of a rank structure given specifically to the samurai. These ranks are Ronin, Samurai, and Shogun. To the untrained eye, these ranks are nearly indistinguishable, but it is rumored that the Samurai grows in his abilities from this renown, and perhaps the best indicator of these rumors, are the pets they train.
