Justice is one of the Eight Virtues.
Justice, founded on the principles of Truth and Love, is the devotion to truth, tempered by love. It is the wisdom that perceives what is right and what is wrong in human action. Long a gathering place for druids in their pursuit of justice, Yew is the site of the High Court of Britannia and nurtures the great legal and judicial minds who practice there.
The Shrine of Justice is situated north of Yew, at the coast of the sea.

[edit] Interesting facts
- Justice always catches up with the delinquents. Such example is the murderer of Quenton in Ultima VI. The Avatar can't prove the crime, however, in Ultima VII it is revealed that in the end, the murderer was caught and sentenced to death.
[edit] Blackthorn's law
During Blackthorn's tyranny, Justice was turned into a law: "Thou shalt confess to thy crime and suffer its just punishment, or thou shalt be put to death."
[edit] Justice in Ultima IV
Meditating at the Shrine of Justice will give these insights;
- "To take the gold of others is injustice not soon forgotten. Take only thy due!"
- "Attack not a peaceful citizen for that action deserves strict punishment!"
- "Kill not a non-evil beast for they deserve not death, even if in hunger they attack thee!"
[edit] Justice in Ultima V
"'Tis now thy sacred Quest to go unto the Codex and learn the weakness of the Unjust!"
"Those who inflict injustice upon others, cannot expect fair treatment unto themselves."
[edit] Justice in Ultima VI
"Justice without force is impotent. Force without justice is tyranny."
