Sting of Warrior’s Pride
FireDescrição
Courage and shame sometimes exist as two sides of the same coin in Rokugani society. To face death with courage is the measure of a samurai, and one who cleaves sincerely to the Code of Bushidō is unlikely to break even in the face of death. Still, not all samurai can attain such lofty stoicism. When philosophy alone is not enough to bolster a samurai against fearful odds, the spur of shame can keep a sword arm firm and feet planted in rank.
