Appearances

Ultima Underworld Standard of Honor, from Ultima Underworld Also Known As: a standard Mass: 0.4 stone Location: the fourth level

The Standard of Honor is one of the eight talismans of Sir Cabirus, representing the virtue of Honor.

Description

The standard was once carried by Sir Geraci, who during Lord British’s ill-fated expedition into the Underworld was killed by large winged creatures with matted, brown fur and sharp, unsheathed claws, showing honor to the end. It is a strong symbol of virtue. It appeared in Ultima Underworld, where it was kept by the Knights of the Crux Ansata after gaining it in the chaos following Cabirus' death. The Avatar received it from Dorna Ironfist, their leader, after destroying their worst enemy, the chaos knight Rodrick. It was later cast into the lava of the Abyss, in order to banish to Slasher of Veils.

Lore

“ This banner was carried by none other than Sir Geraci, who was slain at Lord British's side during the ill-fated expedition to the Underworld (as related in Warriors of Destiny). Though Geraci could have saved himself[sic] by fleeing, he instead upheld his oath to serve his king until death.

– from Memoirs of Sir Cabirus (Ultima Underworld)

“	the Standard of Honor, one of the Talismans fashioned by Cabirus. [...] As for the Standard of Honor, it is said that it is awaiting one who would perform a sufficiently honorable deed. – from Dorna Ironfist (Ultima Underworld)

Identification

“	That is the Standard of Honor, one of Cabirus' Talismans. It was to be a symbol of courage throughout all Britannia. – from Dominus (Ultima Underworld)

Trivia

• The description in the manual is in error, since Sir Geraci actually was a woman, as made clear in Ultima V.
