Temple of Singularity

The Shrine of Singularity is the most holy place of the Gargoyles, and can only be reached by means of flight over a range of mountains. The shrine once housed their three sacred books: The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom, the Book of Circles and the Book of Prophecies.

The Avatar reaches this location in Ultima VI by means of a Hot-Air Balloon.

Once the Avatar has proved s/he knows who deserves to keep the Codex, and has learned of the gargish Virtues of Control, Passion and Diligence, the Shrine of Singularity grants this quest:

''"Let the principle of control guide thy quest. Let the principle of passion drive thy quest. Let the principle of diligence maintain thy quest. Then wilt thou truly achieve the unified spirit and singularity of purpose that is necessary for success in all endeavors. This is the gargoyle way; let it be thy way as well." The altar glows with a cold blue flame. You feel compelled to seek out the Codex.''

Trivia

 * In theory, this is the place the Stranger reached at the end of Ultima IV, as this is where the Codex rested at the time of the Quest of the Avatar.


 * The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom was stolen from the Shrine of Singularity after the events of Ultima IV.


 * The Shrine of Singularity is the only shrine in Ultima VI that can get you into the presence of the Codex.


 * As with the rest of the Underworld, the shrine was probably destroyed after the events of Ultima VI.
