Jeweled Weapons

In Ultima V, the Jeweled Weapons could be obtained from Thurd in Windemere, but only after joining the Oppression. Thurd demanded the password of the Resistance in exchange for them. However, it was not worth the effort, since these supposedly fabulous weapons turned out to be useless, and incapable of dealing even a single point of damage.

These weapons were an excellent lesson that, in the end, those siding with the tyrant Blackthorn -- even if only to topple the organization, as in the case of the Avatar -- could bring only rewards of pain, loneliness, and treachery.
