Praecor Loth

Praecor Loth is the ghost of the last king of Rhiannon. He appears in Ultima Underworld II.

Description
Praecor Loth was a warrior king of legendary power, and many believed he would be able to best the Guardian's forces when the Red Titan invaded his world. When he was indecorously slain by a stray arrow which struck him in the ear during the battle of Rhyna, his closest retainers, Lethe, Umbria, and Morphius, determined themselves to find a way to imbue him with some semblance of life, refusing to accept the death of their liege. To this end, the Three concocted a magical ritual which would bind the ghosts of Loth and his entourage to the material plane, and deceived the spirit of their former king into believing he was still alive and reigning of Rhiannon.

The Avatar, after arriving in the dead king's tomb, could encounter the spirit of Loth's queen, Helena and learn of her husband's predicament. After battling their way to the chamber in which Praecor Loth's spirit lay trapped, the hero could confront the king with the truth of his own demise, finally breaking the spell which held both him and his people in bondage. Thankful to finally be able to go to his rest, Loth would grant the Avatar his battle horn - a magical artifact which would later prove instrumental in ended the Guardian's ensorcellment of Castle Britannia.
