Journey far west in the US of A
Err to the south a bit, too
True, you can't stay here (it's too rich for most)
For sure, only the wealthiest do
Usually, I solo; few sing the same
Everyone says, though, I'm always alone
Like some of my kind, I have few worthy partners
Clever are those who know
As a warrior I supported the war
Never did they stand up to me
Too violent, was I, and hurt many of mine
Man, though, did I clear those trees
Emperor am I, or so it seems
Legally, I've just been Freed
Truly, consume me, I will not mind
Such is my will inclined
Too often compared to another, am I
Even though we are mostly the same
Everyone sees only differences, but
Largely, we can be interchanged
Born of sunbeams and fire
Evoking warm feelings in most
Alone I fulfill some of this riddle
Mixed with another, the rest
So, can you name me and my partners above?
Clarification to avoid the dangers of being too broad:
Each stanza except the last one has a specific answer that is different from the rest of the stanzas. Those answers will have a common word. That common word is the answer for the last stanza and the overall puzzle. (This is what I have tried to hint at in the last stanza but it might not have been clear enough.)
Answer
My guess is:
