Amulet of Submission
The Amulet of Submission is a Gargish artifact signaling the wearer's willingness to be the victim of ritual sacrifice. It appears in Ultima VI.
Description[edit]
After learning of the Gargoyles belief that only the sacrifice of the False Prophet could save their race, the Avatar would eventually consent to be put to death in the hopes of gaining time for forging a peace between the Gargish race and the people of Britannia. Once Draxinusom was confident of the hero's commitment, he placed the crystal Amulet of Submission around the Avatar's neck, indicating a willingness to surrender to sacrifice.[1]
Once it was thus worn, the hero proved incapable of removing it, and those Gargoyles who beheld the artifact around the Avatar's neck demonstrated a notable improvement of civility and reverence.
Trivia[edit]
- Not wearing the amulet will result in gargoyles either refusing conversation, or becoming outright hostile and attack.
- While the amulet in Ultima VI blocks off the neck slot permanently, in The Ultima 6 Project it goes into a special slot, so that the Avatar can still wear another necklace.
