The bushido warriors were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Oyashima and the Qabóri Woqalate from the late 12th century until their abolition in 1951 by the Walakee State. The warriors practiced the Bushido code and were the well-paid retainers of the daimyo, the great feudal landholders of Oyashima. Throughout their existence, they held high prestige and special privileges. Aišo, as they were called in the Qabóri Woqalate were granted Qaluolo: the right to kill anyone of a lower class in certain situations. Eventually, the right of Qaluolo would be abolished in 1875. Despite this, Aišo warriors were still recognized as TDF personnel, and would still be allowed to operate within Tierrador until 1951, when they were fully abolished by the Walakee State.
Though they had predecessors in earlier military and administrative officers, the bushido warrior concept and caste of Oyashima truly formalized between 1185 to 1333. They became the ruling political class, with significant power but also significant responsibility. During the 13th century, the bushido warriors proved themselves as adept warriors against the invading Myanga Ayil Khanate. It was during this time, the 16th century, that some daimyos began a trade network with the Qabóri Woqalate in Crona. As a result, some wealthy bushido warriors traveled to the Qabóri Woqalate. Some of them were retained as advisors to the Woqala and started a cultural investment in aišo culture within the Woqalate.
From 1603 to 1868, the Oyashimane bushido warrior, became the stewards and chamberlains of the diamyo estates, as well as the new patroons of the Duchy of Marialanus' Far East Colony gaining managerial experience and education. As the colonization of Far East Colony progressed the role of the bushido warrior was diminished. Starting in the 1680s bushido warriors started an exodus to the Qabóri Woqalate where their ways were respected. By 1715, Qabór had become the hub of bushido warrior culture.
History
Oyashimane Bushido warriors
Qabóri Aišo
The presence of Bushido warriors extended to the Qabóri Woqalate in the mid-1600s, when the newly-founded Qabóri Trading Company had launched trade routes through the Ocean of Cathay, connecting the South Cronan power with the Audonian continent. It was at this time where bushido warriors, dubbed "aišo" by the QTC, would be hired by the Woqalate as special advisors to Sokhar II. Eventually, due to the looming presence of Varshan in Crona, aišo warriors would be recruited in larger numbers, and special military schools throughout the Woqalate would be constructed, funded by the Qabóri Army. The aišo played a significant role in the Orixtal Crusade, their expertise in guerrilla warfare landing them positions as commanders of some Qabóri regiments.
Following the Orixtal Crusade, the number of aišo were reduced by almost half, due to the reduced need for the noble warriors. The remaining aišo were kept as special military advisors to the Woqalate's central government.
