Virtues are a type of trait that increase specific attributes and resistances. Each virtue shifts 3 values; a primary, secondary and tertiary and they are broken into ranks of effect. Each virtue is obtained by performing various deeds around the world so, as you progress through your levels, you will obtain virtue traits that may be slotted to gain the benefits of their effects.

If you look at your character information in the game, you can see that there are 12 ranks shown for each virtue. Not all 12 ranks are available within the game at this time and different virtues have different maximum ranks from performing the various deeds. The tables below provide information on the various virtues, what effects they provide and the current maximum rank available for each one.

	Charity		Compassion		Confidence		Determination
	Discipline		Empathy		Fidelity		Fortitude
	Honesty		Honour		Idealism		Innocence
	Justice		Loyalty		Mercy		Patience
	Tolerance		Valour		Wisdom		Zeal

The 4 races each have their own racial award and may currently only use the award for their race. Here is a table showing the 4 races and their award information:
