THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE WAY
By Ahriman, Minister of Fiction
The Jukan Warrior Code - The Juka refer to their code of conduct as The Way. It encompasses their martial philosophy as well as their ideals for an ordered society. The biggest misconception surrounding the Juka is that they are savage and uncultured. Nothing could be further from the truth. Though undeniably proud and aggressive, the Juka have developed a sophisticated culture dominated by ritual and an appreciation of beauty. Honor is the motivating force behind much of Jukan society. If
every Jukan warrior had a life goal, it would be the quest for personal
honor and the honor of their clan. Everything else is secondary to this
goal. The exact path to honor differs slightly from clan to clan; however,
certain basic principles apply to all Juka who embrace The Way.
