Derek the Bard

Derek is a young bard staying at Empath Abbey during Ultima IV.

Description
Derek was in the midst of playing newly composed songs within the Abbey's Oak Grove at the time of the Stranger's pilgrimage there. Should the hero commune with the being known as Life that rested enshrined within the keep's grounds, they would know to ask the young musician of the Candle of Love. If thus asked, Derek would inform the Stranger that the candle was hidden in a secret location near Lock Lake.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo port of Ultima IV, Derek has been replaced by a nameless bard, who explains Compassion's relation to Love in the combinations of the three Principles.
