Shourido

Shourido, called by some "the dark path to victory", Masters of Court, p. 119 and also known as the Dark Virtues was a code of conduct similar to Bushido, but twisted. While the tenets of Bushido were based upon honor and duty to one's lord and the Empire, the Dark Virtues, while seeming honorable placed oneself above others. Shourido was introduced to Rokugan by ambassador Garen Hawthorne to Doji Saori in 1167. This was in effort to twist Rokugani society and thus cause division among the populace.
