Windy Point

Windy Point is a peak on Argentrock Isle on Pagan, and the second test on the way to become a Theurgist. It is also dubbed the test of Balance. The test involves withstanding strong winds which try to blow the novice from the point. Near the peak are the columns that show the air-way to where Stratos resides; the final test of faith, and where the Breath of Air is found.

The Home of Stratos is a system of hovering platforms over the sea at the shore of Argentrock Isle after jumping off Windy Point and the final test for Theurgists. Stratos herself lives on the biggest platform near the top. To reach her means to pass the final test. At the first time, Stratos will help with the initial jump, but afterwards, a jump-spell, only awarded by Stratos herself, can grant access. Rumors say, that also something important is stored near her...

The Avatar visited Windy Point in Ultima VIII, succeeding in the test. It was near there, where Torwin fell into the ocean when trying to reach Stratos. The Home of Stratos was visited twice, first to meet Stratos herself, and the second time to get the Breath of Air.

Trivia

 * Falling off the east side of the peak results in death. The west side however, is harmless.


 * The Breath of Air is near Stratos, but the Avatar can only see it, after casting a Reveal spell.


 * Without the Air Walk spell, the place can't be reached after the last test.
