Honor is one of the Eight Virtues.
Honor, founded on the principles of Courage and Truth, is the courage to stand for the truth, against any odds. It is the courage to stand for truth regardless of the circumstances. On a grassy plain on the southeastern shore of Britannia, Trinsic's honorable paladins impress visitors with their courage and devotion to truth.
The Shrine of Honor is situated southwest of Trinsic, near the Cape of Heroes.

[edit] Interesting facts
- A interesting aspect of Honor is, that sometimes decisions have to be made, that go against other virtues, especially Justice, in order to stay honorable. That is especially well seen in the test of the gypsy at the beginning.
- The inhabitants of Trinsic trust Honor, thus why they didn't guard the Rune of Honor on a pedestal in the city. They regret it, when the Rune was stolen and sold to the museum before Ultima VII.
[edit] Blackthorn's law
During Blackthorn's tyranny, Honor was turned into a law: "If thou dost lose thine own honour, thou shalt take thine own life."
[edit] Honor in Ultima IV
Meditating at the Shrine of Honor will give these insights;
- "Take not the gold of others for this shall bring dishonor upon thee!"
- "To strike first a non-evil being is by no means an honorable deed!"
- "Seek ye to solve the many Quests before thee, and honor shall be a reward!"
[edit] Honor in Ultima V
"'Tis now thy sacred Quest to go unto the Codex and learn the darkness of Dishonor!"
"It is the guilt, not the guillotine, that constitutes the shame."
[edit] Honor in Ultima VI
"Honor may be assailed, but can never be hurt. Surprised by unjust force, but not enthralled."
