This article is about a set of children who study Compassion in Ultima IV. For other uses, see Child (disambiguation).


Several children may be found in Britain during Ultima IV, learning the ways of Compassion.

Description[edit]

Many children in the city of Compassion could be found in the company of the bards Iolo and Gwenno, happily singing Ho eyo he hum by their fire.[1] A few children, however, could be found wandering the green outside of Wound Healing and would tell the Stranger, if asked, about their studies in their settlement's virtue, advising the hero to always place the needs of others first. Should the Stranger admit not knowing the mantra of Compassion, the children would advise asking Cricket the bard.[2]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the alleged journal of the Avatar discovered by historians Robert de Main and Carlotta Stein, the hero recounts encountering a single unnamed boy in the midst of playing. After cryptically refusing to give his name and telling the Stranger to consult Cricket, the child ran away, leaving the hero somewhat befuddled.[3]
