High Court

The High Court of Britannia at Yew is, as the name already says, the highest justice in the lands of Britannia. In it, the most dangerous criminals of Britannia are sentenced and, if the crime is severe enough, executed at the nearbly execution square. Also adject to the court house is the prison, where the deliquients are either waiting for their trial, or their execution.

The High Court already existed in Yew at the time of Blackthorn, where it had been perverted into the inquisition. By the time of the Black Gate, the court had moved closer to Empath Abbey, but remained in the jurisdiction of Yew.

Trivia

 * It is ALWAYS possible to flee from the prison, there is no dead end.
 * The prison keeper in Ultima VII seems to be a rather nasty person. Going into combat mode makes the companions attack him on the spot.
 * Hook is known to the High Court, but not caught yet.
