The Hallowed Dock is a tavern in Serpent's Hold in Ultima VII.

Description[edit]

Replacing The Griffon's Den of earlier times as the major eatery, the Hallowed Dock was run by the machine-like Sir Denton, who tended the needs of the tavern's patrons. The tavern was integrated into the fortress itself, thus saving the patrons long walks. Many of the other member's of Serpent's Hold could be found enjoying their meal at the tavern throughout the day.

Lore[edit]

The first place thou wilt see upon entering the hold will be The Hallowed Dock, a very fine tavern run by Sir Denton. He has spent so much time behind its bar that he has developed an amazing sense of perception. In fact, in almost every situation requiring logical analysis, we turn to Denton. However, he is not, as might be expected, slow to reach a decision. When forced to fight, Denton is one of our most capable and quick-witted warriors.
