Keyring Mod

The Keyring Mod is a modification for Exult that adds a number of quests and features to Ultima VII: The Black Gate. It is maintained by Marzo Sette Torres Junior and is available from the Exult source code repository or from Marzo's homepage: Seven Towers. The patch requires the newest Exult snapshot to run.

The mod has numerous improvements, including:


 * A quest to obtain a keyring, a feature originally only implemented in Ultima VII: Serpent Isle. The quest introduces several new NPCs and several new structures on the world map. Also, all keys of the party can be added by using the keyring on the Avatar.


 * The 'Interactions' mod by Alun Bestor, which enables usage of many items whose function had not been implemented by the programmers, like milking cows and using the milk to make cheese, or shearing sheep to get wool.


 * Lock Lake cleanup - when the bill is signed, the lake is over several days cleaned up. Once done, Lord Heather reports that a key was found (for Mack's shed) and gives it to the Avatar.


 * An improved Orb of the Moons, which now allows direct passage to the shrines. Diagonal moongates are enabled as well.


 * Fully functional shrines and shrine quests. Once one has the appropriate rune, praying at the shrines allows going on a quest to the Codex. If one does this seven times and does not having access to the Shrine of Spirituality, the white stone becomes aligned to this shrine. Doing all quests provides a reward.


 * Shrine of the Codex was completely revamped to make it more reseble the one in Ultima VI. It also has more details and the presence of the otherwise absent Codex Symbol.


 * And much more...
