Viscount Ahrmaand is the distinguished mayor of Cove in Ultima VI.
Description[edit]
Ahrmaand was a friendly man proud to be serving the people of Cove, but was greatly disturbed by the recent Gargoyle occupation of the nearby shrine of which he had once been so proud. He was quick to tell the Avatar about the fate of Gertan’s assault on the Shrine of Compassion, and the fate of the survivors recovering with Sasha. He reminded the Avatar of the force that once blocked entry to the shrines in Ultima IV, and suggested that using a shrine's rune along with the appropriate mantra might allow the Avatar to break the Gargoyles’ shield that encircled the shrines. Ahrmaand directed the Avatar to seek out Lord Tholden in Britain in order to locate the rune of Compassion and the appropriate mantra.[1]
The Ultima 6 Project[edit]
This is an Ultima 6 Project-related NPC article or section. The information within may not apply to Ultima VI or other Ultima games.
In The Ultima 6 Project, Ahrmaand explained how a group of older volunteers and young men had lived in the now burnt out barracks by the Shrine of Compassion. With the Gargoyle assault on the shrine, the building had been razed and the defenders killed to a man. After the Gargoyle capture on the shrine, Gertan and his group of adventurers had come to liberate the shrine, also meeting with disaster.
After the hero freed the Shrine of Compassion and Temple of Virtue, Ahrmaand was quick to thank the Avatar.
Trivia[edit]
- Ahrmaand is based upon an Amtgard player who assumed the persona of Sir Ahrmaand Seregon in the organization's former Grand Duchy of Barad Duin, where Ultima VI writer Dr. Cat and artist-writer Manda Dee (Penumbra) also participated and, like Richard Garriott with the Society for Creative Anachronism, portrayed many of its members as characters within the game. In Amtgard, Ahrmaand reigned as Barad Duin's first monarch, and was later knighted by its third, Grand Duke Derydlus. During his rule, Duke Ahrmaand's champion was Sionnach O'Ros Sidh.[2][3]
