The Cult of Truth is a sect of magic users, whose magics are directed at defensive, utility and clerical spells, appearing in Ultima III.
At that time, the Cult of Truth was already 3000 years old. They wrote The Ancient Liturgy of Truth, which is part of the game package. Therefore, their spells apply for the clerical classes in the game, not the wizards. It is also known that Alizarkanon is one of the prophets, addressing the reader of the book in a foreword.
Their strongest, and never copied, spell was Anju Sermani, which allowed the cleric to return someone to life even if completely burnt to ashes.
After Ultima III, the Cult of Truth vanished.
Lore[edit]
| “ | Know ye that the Ancient Liturgy of Truth hath been in the care of our sect of 3000 years. Never, through the passing of each generation, hath our sacred custodianship been betrayed. We now enjoin thee, guard well the secrets held within these pages. For thee, they shall be an immeasurable blessing, but if they are revealed to one of the unenlightened, great harm could befall him. The proper use of the supplications contained within this manuscript will be thine aid in combating the evils of this world. The supplications herein are listed in ascending order of power. Most of the will be unusable until thou hast trod many paths and gained great wisdom. If thou devotes thy whole being to these Truths, the power to perform actual miracles will be granted thee. As thou art exalted enough to be close to the One, The power even over life and death may be thine. Take heed that thou dost not use these precious gifts in a frivolous manner, but for the betterment of the order. Receive now my blessing through the dark veil of time. Know always that within thyself Truth was discovered, and that this Truth forms the basis of unyielding power. – from The Ancient Liturgy of Truth (Ultima III)
