Arbeth is a spinner in Paws in Ultima VI.

Description[edit]

A shy, nervous little man, Arbeth showed himself to be an accomplished spinner who was capable of creating the finest threads, and was the main supplier of thread for the clothier Marissa. The spinner possessed few friends in Paws, and when talking to the Avatar, he fidgeted and looked towards his feet, worried that the Avatar would hurt him. Only with great prodding was he willing to discuss the other villagers of Paws. Grison and Dorin both described Arbeth as a man scared of his own shadow, and the spinner felt Mortude was much too loud. He was quite fond of the child Merideth because she once brought him cookies, and Merideth also revealed to the Avatar that Arbeth was her secret friend, and that he told her stories.[1]

Arbeth helped the Avatar by spinning 40 pieces spider silk into thread, so that the weaver Charlotte of New Magincia could create silk cloth for the Avatar's hot air balloon.
