Meryl is a member of an acting company encamped north of Trinsic during the time of Ultima VII.
Description[edit]
Along with her companions Paul and Dustin, Meryl regularly performed in a passion play reinforcing the tenants of the Fellowship. Within the drama, Meryl acted as the ghostly dead wife of Dustin's everyman character, exhorting her still-living husband to seek out the Fellowship and be lifted from his despair over her death through them. Eventually, once the character joins the society, she appears in his sleep and "rewards" him with a mysterious gift of gold placed under his pillow.[1]
Lore[edit]
| “ | Along the north road to Britain, just before the swamps, is a group of actors who reharse and perform what they call a Passion Play. I have no idea what they mean, and had no time to observe the show, but they seemed to attract enough of an audience to make a living. – from Key to the Black Gate (Ultima VII)

Trivia[edit]
- Iolo and Spark, if present during a performance of the passion play, will complain about the poor acting and plot, although Iolo will compliment the special effects when glitter is poured over the sleeping Dustin.[1]
