The King and the Seer

Computer ports	NES remake
(First visit) Lord British rises and says: At long last! Thou hast come! We have waited such a long, long time... Lord British sits and says: A new age is upon Britannia. The great Evil Lords are gone but our people lack direction and purpose in their lives... A champion of Virtue is called for. Thou may be this champion, but only time shall tell. I will aid thee any way that I can! How may I help thee?	(In Avatar Shrine): I am Lord British, king of Britannia. I welcome thee, Stranger, unto my fair kingdom! The Ages of Darkness are no more, yet still doth evil swell in the hearts of the people. I have long sought an adventurer who would master the eight Virtues of Avatarhood and guide our people into a new age of enlightenment. Stranger, I know in my heart that thou shalt become this Avatar! Go forth now, and conquer the frontiers of the self!
(Later visits) Welcome, Stranger, what would thou ask of me? LOOK? Thou see the King with the Royal Sceptre NAME? My name is Lord British, Sovereign of all Britannia! JOB? I rule all Britannia, and shall do my best to help thee! BRITANNIA? Even though the Great Evil Lords have been routed evil yet remains in Britannia. If but one soul could complete the Quest of the Avatar, our people would have a new hope, a new goal for life. There would be a shining example that there is more to life than the endless struggle for possessions and gold! (SMS) EVIL LORDS? The Great Evil Lords are Mondain, Minax and Exodus! MONDAIN? Mondain is dead! MINAX? Minax is dead! EXODUS? Exodus is dead! QUEST? The Quest of the Avatar is to know and become the embodiment of the Eight Virtues of Goodness! It is known that all who take on this Quest must prove themselves by conquering the Abyss and Viewing the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom! AVATAR? To be an Avatar is to be the embodiment of the Eight Virtues. It is to live a life constantly and forever in the Quest to better thyself and the world in which we live. ANKH? The Ankh is the symbol of one who strives for Virtue. Keep it with thee at all times for by this mark thou shalt be known! ABYSS? The Great Stygian Abyss is the darkest pocket of evil remaining in Britannia! It is said that in the deepest recesses of the Abyss is the Chamber of the Codex! It is also said that only one of highest Virtue may enter this Chamber, one such as an Avatar!!!	Lord British: Friend Stranger and hope of Britannia, I welcome thee! Is there any way in which I may aid thee? NO? Let us meet again, my friend. YES? Which is it? Paladin (cave of the White Stone): The Age of Darkness ended with the demise of Exodus... Yet why doth evil still stalk the land?
HEALTH? I am well, thank ye. Art thou well? NO? Let me heal thy wounds! (heals all party wounds) YES? That is good.	Health? I am very well, as thou canst see! And dost thou enjoy good health as well? NO? Then, I shall heal thee! (heals all party wounds) YES? Ah, good. There is nothing better than being in health.
VIRTUE? The Eight Virtues of the Avatar are Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality, and Humility! HONESTY? The fair towne of Moonglow on Verity Isle is where the virtue of Honesty thrives! COMPASSION? The bards in the towne of Britain are well versed in the virtue of Compassion! VALOR? Many valiant fighters come from Jhelom in the Valarian Isles! JUSTICE? In the city of Yew, in the Deep Forest, Justice is served! SACRIFICE? Minoc, towne of self-sacrifice, lies on the eastern shores of Lost Hope Bay! HONOR? The Paladins who strive for Honor are oft seen in Trinsic, north of the Cape of Heroes! SPIRITUALITY? In Skara Brae the Spiritual path is taught. Find it on an isle near Spiritwood! HUMILITY? Humility is the foundation of Virtue! The ruins of proud Magincia are a testimony unto the Virtue of Humility! Find the Ruins of Magincia far off the shores of Britannia, on a small isle in the vast Ocean! PRIDE? Of the eight combinations of Truth, Love and Courage, that which contains neither Truth, Love nor Courage is Pride. Pride being not a Virtue must be shunned in favor of Humility, the Virtue which is the antithesis of Pride!	Virtue? In which of the eight Virtues thou seek enlightenment? Honesty? Moonglow, a towne on Verity Isle, holds Honesty sacred! Compassion? The bards in the towne of Britain sing of Compassion. Valor? Many of our bravest soldiers hail from Jhelom, where Valor is celebrated! Justice? Deep in the northern forests, the druids uphold Justice with diligence. Sacrifice? Minoc, to the northeast, is a city whose folk are strong in the virtue of Sacrifice. They have much to teach! Honor? The knights of Trinsic revere Honor. All are worthy of thy deepest trust! Spirituality? Others seek to strengthen their arms or their minds, but the rangers of Skara Brae strive to perfect their souls. Humility? Without Humility, the practice of all other virtues is in vain. Walk among the ruins of Magincia, and learn.
(SMS) 3 PRINCIPLES? The three Principles are Truth, Love and Courage! LOVE? Look for the meaning of Love at Empath Abbey. The Abbey sits on the western edge of the Deep Forest! TRUTH? Many truths can be learned at the Lycaeum. It lies on the northwestern shore of Verity Isle! COURAGE? Serpent's Castle on the Isle of Deeds is where Courage should be sought!	Principles? In which of the three Principles dost thou seek enlightenment? Love? Empath Abbey, far to the northwest, is a fortress open to all who seek understanding of Love's ways. Truth? In the Lycaeum, north of Moonglow on Verity Isle, dwell scholars who seek lives in pursuit of Truth. Courage? The flower of Britannia's knighthood live and train in the mighty Serpent's Hold, on an island to the south.

Seek ye to become a partial Avatar in all eight virtues, for only then shalt thou be ready to seek the Codex! HELP (5)? Go ye now into the depths of the dungeons.

Good Luck, and may the powers of good watch over thee on this thy most perilous endeavor! The hearts and souls of all Britannia go with thee now. Take care, my friend... BYE? Fare thee well, my friend!	Wilt there be anything else? NO? Let us meet again, my friend. YES? Which is it? Ranger (cave of the White Stone): In the Abyss all eight stones are necessary. Indeed, the white stone is before the Ankh of this very cave. Open the box, and take up the stone!

Errata

There are several recurring inconsistencies in the English localization of the NES remake of Ultima IV. The use of punctuation is extremely approximative. In particular, ellipses are very often written with four dots instead of the correct three. Capitalization of important topics is inconsistent: the same key word is sometimes capitalized, sometimes all in small letters (this applies to principles, virtues, runes, stones, etcetera).
