Margareta

Margareta is a gypsy fortune teller, and the wife of Jergi. She is encamped outside of Minoc.

In Ultima VII, the Avatar encountered Margareta shortly about the mutilation killings of her brother-in-law, Frederico, and her sister-in-law, Tania. She was grieved by their loss, and was concerned that their son, Sasha, was being led astray by the Fellowship, which she strongly distrusted.

She would read the hero's fortune for a sum of twenty gold coins, and was able to reveal that the Avatar would need to join the Fellowship in order to learn more about them and that a new peril was threatening Britannia. She also detected the disturbance of the ether; the significance of the astrological alignment and the need to contact Brion; the pursuit of Hook and his ultimate insignificance in coming events; and the necessity of contacting the Time Lord and the wisps.

Trivia

 * Without Margareta's advice, the Avatar cannot advance the plot, as her dialogue triggers the ability to ask Trellek for the Wisp Whistle.
 * If the Avatar is male, Margareta with also see a woman standing near a shrine who is in love with the hero. This references Nastassia.
