Cape of Heroes

The Cape of Heroes is a body of water south of Trinsic and west of the Isle of Deeds

Description
The cape area does contain numerous uninhabited islands with little of worth - thus why they are uninhabited. The northern edge of the cape is surrounded by the southern edge of the Britannian main continent, which splits in two at that point, only opening to the south. The cape is known for its treacherous waters and more than one ship got lost in it.

History
This was the site where the famous ship HMS Cape met her end, sinking to the ocean floor of the cape just before reaching the main land. The Stranger would in Ultima IV have occasion to explore the region during the quest towards Avatarhood, for which the legendary ship's wheel was a key to, as it allowed to survive the onslaught of the pirates at the Isle of the Avatar.

In later years, the returning Avatar would find the Cape to have become something of a haven for pirates and other outlaws. During the Gargoyle War in Ultima VI, the hero, after a hint from the pirate Homer, found the shipwreck of the HMS Empire on one of the barren islands, in which the Unnamed Pirate had died. The wreck contained a piece of the crucial Treasure Map of Captain Hawkins which the Avatar needed to locate the Silver Tablet.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo port of Ultima IV, this geological feature is known as "Hero's Point."
 * The name of the cape was accidentially not printed on several of the second issue of the Ultima IV cloth maps.
