The Book of Justice "Thou shalt confess thy crime and suffer just punishment, or thou shalt be put to death." --Ethics of Britannia, circa 139 |

. . . No towne suffered so ironic a fate than Yew, once heralded as the city of Justice, only to become the center of Lord Blackthorn's Oppression. Her prisons and gallows soon housed those who dared to defy Blackthorn's code of "ethics." Druids who once proudly wore the verdant robes of Justice found their beliefs soiled by Judge Dryden, Blackthorn's boyhood mentor, who sentenced innocents to death, while freeing black-hearted souls so long as they pledge allegiance to Blackthorn. Yet crime diminished during Blackthorn's reign. Still, even those who applauded the new Code of Ethics could not say whether 'twas just punishment or mortal fear that allayed the common thief. . . |
