Darkwatch Armoury is an armoury in Minoc, the city of Sacrifice. This establishment appears during Ultima V.

History

Founded some time before the appearance of the Shadowlords to replace The Iron Works, the shop was run by Shenstone in Ultima V. The blacksmith Tactus working there was especially enthusiastic about the Oppression and unwittingly helped the Avatar infiltrate it. By Ultima VI no armoury called “Darkwatch” was to be found, but a “Death Watch Armory” was available in the same town with a different owner. While his master was absent, the apprentice James worked there as a blacksmith.

In the following centuries, the armoury closed down. By Ultima VII, the blacksmith Zorn had opened up an armoury in Minoc instead.
