Denyel was an unlucky man, about whom little is known.

Description

While searching through the Desert Dungeon at February 29th in the year 227, he stepped on a hidden teleporter and was trapped in a small cave without exit. After long suffering, Denyel finally died from starvation. The Avatar found his remains in Ultima VII, over a century later. A letter was found nearby entreating the reader to tell a woman named Mythra, that he loves her.

The Letter

His letter reads as follows:

I have been here for more days than I am able to remember, though I have not forgotten the day I have entered this forsaken cave which has become my tomb. That was 2-29-0227. But my food ran out long ago, and the rats are more interested in eating me than letting me eat them. My strength is gone, as is my will. If thou dost find this, please tell Mythra that I love her.

--Denyel

Trivia

• The Avatar has several ways to avoid the same fate as Denyel's. Escape is possible with the Orb of the Moons, the spells Recall or Help or – unintuitively – by getting killed (suicide with explosives, spells or starving to death).
• Denyel's letter does prove with its date that the Britannian calendar does have leap years.
