Humility

Humility is one of the Eight Virtues.

Humility is the opposite of Pride, and independent of the principles of Virtue, is about perceiving one's place in the world, not according to one's own accomplishments, but according to the intrinsic value of all individuals. It is the recognition of the worthiness of all beings, and the perception of one's own place among them, regardless of one's own personal accomplishments or mistakes in the world. New Magincia is a towne built on the ruins of old Magincia by a colony of humble people who understand well the dangers of false, self-serving pride and the beauty of humility.

The Shrine of Humility is situated on the Isle of the Avatar.

Blackthorn's law
During Blackthorn's tyranny, Humility was turned into a law: "Thou shalt humble thyself to thy superiors, or thou shalt suffer their wrath."

Ultima IV
Meditating at the Shrine of Humility will give these insights;
 * "Claim not to be that which thou art not. Humble actions speak well of thee!"
 * "Strive not to wield the Great Force of Evil for its power will overcome thee!"

Ultima V
"Tis now thy sacred Quest to go unto the Codex and learn the weakness of a life consumed by Pride!"

"Pride is a vice, which Pride itself inclines one to find in others, and overlook in oneself."

Ultima VI
"The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error."

Trivia
