Very seldom will a Burgunn run from a fight, and almost never will a Burgunn warrior flee from combat. This is not to say that a Burgunn will foolishly endanger themselves or hold impossible ground, as most Burgunn warriors fight with guns rather than hand weapons. Burgunn tactics usually revolve around tactical fighting with terrain, so it is common for a Burgunn unit to fall back in combat in order to gain a tactical advantage in the terrain. They consider surprise assaults, ambushes and assassination to be worth less honor than “true” combat between two aware combatants, although unconventional and unique tactics are considered to be crowning achievements to a Burgunn warrior.

Burgunn life away from the battlefield is done in the same vein as their battlefield roles, with different houses vying for power against each other. Older Burgunn who are too old for battle tend to be diplomats, scheming and plotting against their counterparts in the other houses.

Almost all Burgunn are well educated, and it is uncommon to find Burgunn of any social class who don’t have at least some technical skill. Weapon designers are common; as most Burgunn prefer to fight with weapons they have crafted themselves. While not common, Burgunn mystics are far from unheard of; most of them are fascinated with melding mystic energy and technology. In this aspect, many of them work with the more mystically gifted Rinn, although they try to avoid giving the Rinn any of their own secrets. There are few Burgunn spies, since it is usually not seen as a good way to gain honor, but the rare spy is usually of exceptional talent and versatile both on and off the field of battle.
