Hans is the keeper of the lighthouse near Britain during Ultima IX.
Description[edit]
When meeting him, Hans told the Avatar of how Lord British had erected four lighthouses, but were no longer functional. The light crystals for three of them had been lost during shipment, and Hans feared that they would never reach their destinations. He asked the Avatar to find them, get them polished in Britain, and then install them in the appropriate lighthouses.[1]
The Avatar accepted the job, and after all the the crystals had been properly installed, Hans gave a reward - a measly 100 gold coins.
Trivia[edit]
- In the Dialogue Patch for Ultima IX, Hans explains that the lighthouse near Britain magically replaced the Royal Mint during the events of Ultima 7.2: Serpent Isle, and Lord British commissioned the other three based on this one's technology. Incidentally, this accounts for the city of Britain being noticeably smaller in Ultima IX than in Ultima VII.
- Hans offers 100 gp for completing this quest, which considering the length of the quest is a very questionable reward.
- Hans also has a sextant in his lighthouse, which can be taken without any penalty.
