House of Wares

The House of Wares is a disreputable facility, located in Knight's Forest on Serpent Isle, that appears in Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
The House of Wares is run by the wicked Captain Stokes, a pirate of the worst variety engaged in the illicit reproduction of Origin products (including Ultima VIII) using his "glowing cube", "humming box", and "rune keys". A two-level dwelling, the House of Wares also contains a modest upstairs bedroom with barred windows, a harpsichord, and, eerily, a mirror in which an unknown humanoid form appears to persist indefinitely.

Locked securely for the majority of the Avatar's adventures on Serpent Isle, the hero was able to enter this ill-omened den after receiving a key from the ghost of Gannt, a bard slain by Stokes in retribution for complaints regarding his preference for smoking indoors.
