Meditating at the shrine, the traveler has to chant the mantra "CAH", to find the ways of Sacrifice.

History
Errected before the Quest of the Avatar, the shrine was not hard to reach in Ultima IV, sitting on a isle in Lake Generosity. Meditating at the shrine gave insight into Sacrifice, and elevated the Stranger to partial Avatarhood.

By the time of Ultima V, Lake Generosity had dried out, leaving the shrine alone in the Dry Lands. The Avatar had to prevent the lackays of Lord Blackthorn from destroying the shrine. The shrine sent the Avatar on a quest to the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom, to understand the true meaning of Sacrifice. Later, the shrine accepted donations for Karma.

By Ultima VI the Gargoyles had captured the it. The Avatar freed the shrine, who in return explained again the meaning of Sacrifice to the Avatar, and was responsible to raise the stats of the party.

In the time of Ultima VII, parts of Lake Generosity had returned, but a Liche had defiled the shrine, conducting his dark rituals there until the Avatar destroyed him. Nonetheless the shrine was in a bad shape.
