Fortress of the Guardian

The Guardian Fortress is, as the name says, the centre of power of the Guardian in Britannia in Ultima IX. The outside of the fortress is cut out of the rock, looking like a huge Guardian-head, with the mouth acing as the entrance. High walls surround it as protection against intruders. Inside is a huge complex, where dozends of Wyrmguards live, protecting the center base of the guardian. The biggest room is the throne room, where the Guardian is located when being on Britannia, together with his Mirror of Darkness.

The Avatar first entered the fortress after being summoned by the Guardian (and thrown out of it later). Later the Avatar entered it through a secret passage to reach the throne room and prepare for the final fight with the Guardian.
