-Most often, Virtue refers to the in-game system wherein players can perform certain actions based on or related to the Virtues, and achieve certain in-game powers. Only five of the eight virtues currently are active.

	Humility was described in the single-player games as the foundation of the Virtues. Without it, the other Virtues will of necessity fall into Pride, and become meaningless. The demon attacks on the [[city]] of [[Magincia]] during the fall of 2007, based on events in the single player games, were a form of punishment for the city's Pride. For another example of the importance of Humility as expressed within UO, see the article on the [[Shield of Recognition]].

		+	==Lord Blackthorn's Code of Virtues==
		+	In ''Ultima V'', [[Lord Blackthorn]], the tyrant who ruled in [[Lord British]]'s absence, codified the Britannian Virtues into a set of draconian laws.
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="3"
		+	! style="background:#add8e6;" \| Virtue
		+	! Law
		+	\|-
		+	\| Honesty
		+	\| Thou shalt not lie, or thou shalt lose thy tongue.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Compassion
		+	\| Thou shalt help those in need, or thou shalt suffer the same need.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Valor
		+	\| Thou shalt fight to the death if challenged, or thou shalt be banished as a coward.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Justice
		+	\| Thou shalt confess to thy crime and suffer its just punishment, or thou shalt be put to death.
		+
		+	\|-
		+	\| Sacrifice
		+	\| Thou shalt donate half of thy income to charity, or thou shalt have no income.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Honor
		+	\| If thou dost lose thine own honour, thou shalt take thine own life.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Spirituality
		+	\| Thou shalt enforce the laws of virtue, or thou shalt die as a heretic.
		+	\|-
		+	\| Humility
		+	\| Thou shalt humble thyself to thy superiors, or thou shalt suffer their wrath.
		+	\|}
		+
		+	Blackthorn's Code is a good illustration of the fact that the Virtues always come from one's own self rather than the norms of society; codifying ethics into law doesn't automatically make evil people good. Further, unethical lawmakers can take the Virtues and turn them into something that is quite contrary to what Virtues actually stand for.

 There are eight components of the virtue paradigm: [[Compassion]], [[Honesty]], [[Honor]], [[Humility]], [[Justice]], [[Sacrifice]], [[Spirituality]], and [[Valor]]. The game mechanic is accessed via the [[Virtue Gump]]. The philosophy behind the Virtues is opposed by the philosophy of [[Chaos]]; the individual virtues are opposed by a sin that is its opposite. Additionally, each virtue has a mantra that is usually of use at the respective [[Shrine]].
