Hall of Knowledge

In the Hall of Knowledge

The Hall of Knowledge is a combined museum/library in the Realm of the Gargoyles found in Ultima VI.

Description

The hall consists of three chambers that hold different relics:

• The human chamber holds things that the gargoyles have gained from the humans of Britannia, regardless how that came to be. Most of it are inconsequential everyday items, that nonetheless are alien to the gargoyles due to them not using such items in their lives.
• The librum chamber holds the various books of the Hall in a library, explaining the backgrounds of the gargoyle race, their customs and history as well as the carious artifacts found in the realm.
• The vortex chamber is the strangest chamber of all three, as parts of it are made from the Ethereal Void. It holds the more important artifacts, the Vortex Cube and the purple lens, which were once used to draw the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom to the world.

History

Prior to the Avatar visiting the Hall of Knowledge after surrendering to Lord Draxinusom, the human thieves Morwin and Daglar had somehow managed to reach the Gargoyle lands and broken into it, stealing the Vortex Cube in the process. This caused the Gargoyles to seal the chamber with a force field to curtail further thefts. In Ultima VI, the Avatar learned of how Naxatilor had brought the Codex to the world from the books in the hall, therefore getting onto the right path of how to return it to the void. The Avatar also took the lens, which by that time was broken (probably the result of the thieves' burglary). After that time, with the destruction of the Realm of the Gargoyles, the Hall of Knowledge was destroyed as well.
