Lycaeum

Description
Situated on the northwestern part of Verity Isle, north of Moonglow, the Lycaeum stands as a building symbolising the principle of Truth. While mighty looking, it never intimidates the traveler. While once a fortress, it is now a huge library and centre of science, where dozends of wise men and women, mages and non-mages, work, to further knowledge and decypher the mysteries of the world surrounding them. It is also here, where scholars gather all their knowledge.

The Lycaeum holds the biggest cvollection of books in all of Britannia, with every book ever printed present in it with one volume. The Lycaeum is also known to house the Flame of Truth and the Book of Truth, to items of high symbolical value. As long as the Lycaeum stands, wisdom will shine in the world.

History
The Lycaeum was build before Ultima IV. Back then, it was still a castle, but had an obversatory build in. The obersatory vanished by Ultima V, but otherwise, the Lycaeum stayed the same all over, still being a castle. It was there, where one of the Shadowlords was destroyed by the Avatar by cating its shard into the Flame of Truth.

The Lycaeum was totally changed by Ultima VI. The fortress was converted into a huge library, with all fortifications removed. Also, a huge cellar under the Lycaeum was built, while buildings appeared around it, to house the facilities that had been removed from it.

By the time of Ultima VII, the Lycaeum hadn't changed much, however, the city hadliterally grown around it, making it essentially a part of Moonglow by then.
