Compendium

The Compendium comes with Ultima VI. It is 48 pages long. In-game, Lord British is the orginator of the book, having dictated it to the scribe Moebius of the Lycaeum, and it is also used it as a part of the copy protection. In real-life, Greg Malone has written the book.

The following topics are part of the book:
 * Foreword
 * History of Britannia
 * Travelling guide
 * Runescript
 * Shops, commerce
 * The classes
 * Adventuring as a party
 * Cosmology
 * Reagents
 * Weapons and armour
 * Bestiary
 * Magic

It is important to remember that when the book is written, Britannia is at war with the Gargoyles, this is, why they aren't seen in a good light in it. Also some of Lord British's points of view flow into a few things slightly.
