Gem of Immortality



The black Gem of Immortality is Mondain's source of power and his key to immortality. Mondain has his soul bound to it, and as long as the gem exists, he also exists, with unbeliveable powers. However, this is also the biggest weakness of the Gem.

The Gem came into being, when Mondain turned his father's Sun Ruby Gem into it. With its help, he waged war against Sosaria, until the stranger managed to breach his fortress in Ultima I and shatter the Gem, which cost Mondain his life. But that wasn't the end of this artifact of darkness, as three shards of it landed in the Underworld. Years later, the three Shadowlords came from these shards. Only when the Avatar destroyed the shards in Ultima V, and with them the Shadowlords, the evilness of the Gem of Immortality was gone forever.
