Meditation Retreat

The Meditation Retreat is a Fellowship-run facility which lies on Deadman's Island, a little to the east of the Isle of Deeds. Active during Ultima VII, this secure location was marketed to members as a place of learning, where they could better themselves through exercises designed to arouse their "inner voice".

Description
The Retreat consisted of a single building featuring a typical Fellowship meeting-hall, in addition to sleeping space for students. Here, led by director Ian, Fellowship novices would study the organization's philosophy. This was also a place where members could hear their "inner voice" which the society claimed to be a guide to Fellowship-based enlightenment.

Unbeknownst to most who went there, this voice was that of the Guardian, which they heard due to the Retreat's proximity to the Red Titan's Cube Generator, a construct which lay hidden in the nearby network of caves. To ensure that none learned of this grim secret, the area in which the Generator was secreted was declared strictly off limits to students, and the artifact was guarded by the fighter, Iriale Silvermist.

Trivia
Numerous cults use isolation and "special seminars" in remote locations in the course of indoctrinating new recruits. The Church of Scientology, (on which the Fellowship is based) in particular, features a series of "courses" in which students engage in hypnotic drills which many ex-members claim to have a disorienting effect which leaves them open to suggestion.
