Gannt was a bard on the Serpent Isle, who ran afoul of a pirate.

Description[edit]

Gannt was a famous bard who wrote numerous books besides his songs. Some time prior to Ultima VII Part Two, while he was preparing to entertain guests at the Inn of the Sleeping Bull, the pirate Captain Stokes entered and started to disgust everyone with his heavy smoking. Gannt complained multiple times, especially since it drove away his potential audience, until suddenly Stokes fatally stabbed him with a dagger.

Gannt was buried in a grave deep underground close to the Northern Forest. When the Avatar approached the grave, Gannt's ghost appeared and revealed his story, gifting the hero with the key to Captain Stoke's House of Wares to avenge him, which the Avatar had the option of doing.

Lore[edit]

Hark, adventurer, and read these words well. Many know me as Gannt the Bard, singer of songs, and writer of fine poetry for all to enjoy. Though many know of me, most do not know of my life, or at least of how I came to this end. Read, and read well, dear adventurer. If thou hast any justice in thine heart, or any pity in thy soul, then thou wilt seek vengeance for mine untimely death. If thou, hearty adventurer, hast any sense of duty to avenge evils, then thou must seek out the craven and cowardly Captain Stokes of the rusty old bucket 'The Mustang' and exact just payment, for alas, since I am not of this world, I cannot.

Trivia[edit]

  • Gannt wrote several books. Amongst them are The House of the Unicorn, The Crying Lute and No Such Things as Fairies.
