Le code d'honneur des Guêpes
(The Great Clans, L5R 4th, p151)
The Code of the Wasp has six tenets, moral and philosophical principles which are expected to bind all Tsuruchi:
* Honesty: Samurai lies nearly destroyed Tsuruchi and his followers, but a true Wasp knows there is always a price for falsehood.
* Loyalty: No true Wasp will break an oath, cheat an employer, or break a contract with an honest employer. Although the Tsuruchi often work for money (especially when serving as bounty hunters) their purchased loyalty is as reliable as any samurai’s—so long as the employer does not deceive or cheat them.
* Mercy: A Wasp will only kill those who deserve it. The innocent in particular must be protected.
* Justice: The Emperor’s word is law, and the law must be upheld. Samurai twist and exploit the law, but Tsuruchi uphold it.
* Brotherhood: Every Tsuruchi is brother, sister, parent, and child to every other Tsuruchi. It is this belief which has prevented disagreements within the family from escalating.
* Judgment: Indecision is the greatest weakness. When the Code cannot tell a Tsuruchi what to do, he must act as his heart thinks best, accepting the consequences as required.
