Justice

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.
