Sacrifice

Sacrifice is one of the Eight Virtues.

Sacrifice, founded on the principles of Courage and Love, is the courage to give of oneself in the name of love. It is the placing of the interests of others and the ends of virtue over one's own well-being. Minoc is the centre for studying the virtue of sacrifice. The homeless of Britannia are welcomed in Minoc; here they find refuge in the Mission of the Helpless, with ready access to a fine and charitable healer.

The shirne of Sacrifice is situated east of Minoc, in the middle of the Dry Lands.
