Oradinar is a human outcast living on the fourth level of the Abyss, who has specialised in fishing. He appears in Ultima Underworld.

Description[edit]

Oradinar used to be a Britannian fisherman, but for some unspecified crime he was sentenced by Baron Almric to lifelong imprisonment in the Abyss. Thanks to his knowledge of fishing, however, he managed to make a far better living in the Abyss than many of the others imprisoned in it.

When meeting him, Oradinar told the Avatar that he generally tried to avoid trouble, thus living a safe life. He preferred a safe life at his fishing grounds to any kind of excitement. He told the Avatar of where to find a pond that was especially rich with fish, and even offered the hero his spare fishing rod as a sign of goodwill. The advice proved important in order to get enough fish for barter.

Later, he was rescued by Garamon, when the volcano erupted.

Lore[edit]

“ This is the home of Oradinar, another unhappy victim of Baron Almric's justice, tossed into this cheerful pit of mine to rot. Sadly, he hasnt; a fisherman in the world above, he is adept at fishing in a nearby pond... and, unfortunately, teaches others how to survive in the same way. However, he does cringe nicely when menaced, so he is a welcome citizen of my domain.
