Monk Isle

Monk Isle is a secluded island appearing in Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
Monk Isle is located north of Moonshade - meaning the Isle of Beyond - and is the home of the order of the Xenkan Monks. Xenka selected this remote island due to her frustration with the ignorant mages of Moonshade. Reaching the island is only possible by ship, or for those knowing the secret of teleportation - which the monks of the order do. The monks live on this island mostly isolated from the outside world and under strict rules that order their daily life. Besides the big monastery and the various smaller buildings and agricultural fields on the island, there are two points of special interest. The Bell Tower, where the bells announce to the monks by magical means their next task of the day, and the Place of Visions, where said visions are received by the monks.

Monk Isle actually was the only greater settlement that survived the destruction brought by the Banes of Chaos over the Serpent Isle.

Trivia

 * Cheating yourself to Monk Isle in order to short-circuit the plot won't work. None of the Monks will be there. Monk Isle has to be entered through a Serpent Gate the regular way to make them appear.
 * During Ultima I, the town "The Brothers" existed on this island. A strangely prophetic name considering a monk order would later occupy the island.
