2. Honesty The word of a warrior, given in oath, contains the supreme truth Once the word of a warrior is given, it will be kept at any cost, even one’s own life

3. Hospitality For a traveler, it’s important to know that, in friendly territory, he’ll always have food, shelter, and protection Every good man has the obligation to treat a guest in the best way possible and to wait nothing else in response

4. Courage A warrior values his own life and will not endanger himself for a cause that he knows to be lost The unnecessary death is the death of a fool, but the death of a hero is the one that makes the difference The warrior will possess a fierce determination Once a warrior hero decides a course of action, nothing will hold him back

5. Loyalty The relation that exists between the individual and his group Loyalty of a man belongs to his family, his Lord, and his king (in this order) – This order can be modified however, by an oath of personal loyalty

6. Cunning Using artifices (tricks) that deceive an opponent is much appreciated This type of trick, however, must be applied only against opponents who prove undeserving of respect
