Castle of the White Dragon

Description
The Castle of the White Dragon once was the seat of power over half of the Serpent Isle. The Stranger visited the castle in Ultima I, and the king sent the hero on an exploration quest in return for enhanced strength.

Later, the castle earned itself a sad spot in history. The King's daughter Beatrix was Shamino's love, but after he was unable to return to the The Lands of Danger and Despair due to the world being thundered apart, Beatrix died of a broken heart shortly after Ultima I. Broken by grief over her death, the King went mad, and in the end murdered everyone in his castle. The reputation of his ghost was so horrible, that the goblins invaded the Castle out of fear.

In Ultima VII Part Two, when the Avatar tried to enter the castle, the mad ghost appeared, trying to kill the hero. Following a hard battle, the King of the White Dragon was finally released from his neverending madness. Later, the Avatar went through a gauntlet set up by the Banes of Chaos, literally living through madness, before confronting them in the throne room, and banishing them into the Black Sword after the battle.

Trivia



 * The state of his madness and the bloody slaughter can be read in books in his castle. One must be careful because some books are Killer Jokes of the Trixter!
