Dorna Ironfist is the leader of the Knights of the Crux Ansata. He became locked in when the colony was turned into a prison, but remained true to the Eight Virtues. He appears in Ultima Underworld.

Description

The Avatar met him on the fourth level of the Abyss. Dorna told the hero the history of their order, before adding that they now had a grave enemy in the chaos knight Rodrick. He added sending Biden to deal with Rodrick, but had not heard from him yet.

The Avatar asked to join the order, and Dorna Ironfist gave four quests to the hero:

• First, was a test of intelligence and Humility in the form of several questions.
• Second, was a test of Valor. The Avatar had to drink from a chalice that could hold poison (which, fortunately, did not) without hesitation. Afterwards, honestly admitting fear earned greater respect from Dorna.
• Third, was the quest to get back the Writ of Lorne from the trolls. The Avatar bribed Rawstag with a red gem to reach the writ.
• Finally, the Avatar had to recover the golden plate from the graves in the north-west. However, that meant battling Rodrick in order to gain access.

After all tasks were done, Dorna declared the Avatar a knight and enabled access to the armoury. Additionally, for slaying Rodrick, the Avatar received the Standard of Honor from Ironfist. Later, Ironfist was rescued by Garamon, when the volcano erupted.

Lore

“	Among the most annoying of all the Abyss’s inhabitants is Dorna Ironfist, leader of the Knights of the Order of the Crux Ansata. How virtuous he is, how humble, how wise ... how unbearable. He possesses one of Cabirus’ eight talismans, the Standard of Honor, but as he is powerless and ignorant, this worries me not at all. – from Ultima Underworld Clue Book (Ultima Underworld)
