A samurai is a warrior associated with honour, sworn service, and the art of war that is in many ways similar to a cavalier. Samurai often originate from the continent of Tian Xia, where there are nations ruled by samurai: Jinin, Kaoling, and Shokuro. The nation of Minkai is particularly associated with samurai.

Orders

All samurai pledge themselves to a single samurai order, usually the order of the warrior. Those samurai who abandon their lord or order are considered ronin. Cruel samurai may follow the order of the Black Daimyo. Other orders for samurai include the order of the songbird for those that see the poetry and art in battle.

Philosophy and religion

The philosophy of the order of the warrior is called ichimeiyo.

• Fumeiyoshi, the Lord of Envy: patron of dishonoured and fallen samurai
• General Susumu, the Black Daimyo: patron of cruel samurai
• Shizuru, Empress of Heaven: patron of samurai, and often depicted herself as a samurai
