House of Wares

The House of Wares on Serpent Isle is run by Captain Stokes, an actual Software Pirate, who is very busy with copying Origin products (including Ultima VIII). It is located in Knight's Forest and stayed locked for most of the time. The Avatar was allowed to enter it after recieving the key from the ghost of the murdered Bard Gannt in the northern mountains.

The House of Wares actually is an in-joke about software piracy.
