Gate Guard (Britain)

Britain's gate guard(s) protect the entrance to the city of compassion during the time of Ultima IV.

Description
Like many employed in the stewardship of Britannia's cities, the gate guards of Britain were men of few words. Should the Stranger ask them of their duties, they would speak to the hero of the towne's cardinal virtue, stating that as guards they must cultivate a great deal of compassion and allow the troubles of others to be as their own. They would also advise the questing Stranger to show mercy to non-evil creatures and would chasten them if they admitted to doing so.

Trivia

 * In the supposed journal of the Avatar discovered by historians Robert de Main and Carlotta Stein, the gate guards of Britain are described as wearing coarsely woven cloth garments and straw hats, and they give additional exposition as to their city's place as a haven for  bards.
