North Star Armoury is an armoury in Castle Britannia and then Britain.

History[edit]

During Ultima V, the armoury was located inside Castle Britannia and was run by Max Engel. Twenty years later, in Ultima VI, the shop had moved out of Castle Britannia and into Britain, where it was being run by Max, who spoke with a thick Italian accent. It is unknown if this was the same Max who ran the store in Ultima V.

While Britain continued having a well-stocked armoury, it is unknown if Grayson's armoury in Ultima VII was the North Star Armoury.

Lore[edit]

Within its imposing stone walls are vast storerooms, a little-used prison, bedchambers ranging from austere but comfortable barracks to lavishly appointed guest quarters, two kitchens, a fine stable, and the acclaimed smithy of Max the Armourer.
