Description[]
The Shrine of Spirituality
The Shrine of Spirituality rests on a floating dais in the Ethereal Void. As the sole method by which one arrives or departs is via moongate, the Shrine is adorned by a perennial exit gate leading back to the terrestrial realm.
Meditating at the shrine, the traveler has to chant the mantra, om, to find enlightenment in the ways of Spirituality.
History[]
Erected before the Quest of the Avatar, the Shrine itself has changed little throughout its history. During the time of Ultima VII, it notably served as a prison for the Time Lord at the hands of the Guardian. In Ultima Underworld II, it was one of his places of power and housed a Blackrock Gem.
The surroundings of the shrine in Ultima IX differed from the bespangled ambience of prior installments, instead resembling a vast, misty cavern. While here, the Avatar met the ghost of Dupre, as well as any other companions who were slain as Wyrmguard.
