Talismans of Sir Cabirus

The Talismans of Sir Cabirus are eight magical items found in Ultima Underworld.

Description

The eight talismans are magical items representing the Virtues that were originally collected by Sir Cabirus in his quest to somehow bring the various groups in his Abyss colony closer together. Each of the eight talismans holds special meaning for one of the Eight Virtues. Some also have additional powers, while others are simply symbolic in nature. Sadly, Sir Cabirus died shortly after collecting them all and had neglected to leave orders which group should get which talisman. In the following chaos, each group tried to gain the talismans they thought were intended for them, resulting in a plundering and scattering of the talismans throughout the Abyss. They were all recovered by the Avatar in Ultima Underworld and used to banish the Slasher of Veils by casting them into the lava in the chamber of virtues.

The talismans include:

	Honesty	The Book of Honesty
	Compassion	The Wine of Compassion
	Valor	Lord Blackthorn’s Shield of Valor
	Justice	The sword Caliburn
	Sacrifice	The Taper of Sacrifice
	Honor	The Standard of Honor
	Spirituality	The Cup of Wonder
	Humility	The Ring of Humility

Lore

“

Secondly, there is the matter of the theft of the eight mystic devices - which Sir Cabirus collected before his death. It was Cabirus' plan to cement the harmony of his settlement by presenting each of these artifacts to a different group or faction among his community. Unfortunately, he did not leave a guide as to how to distribute the items. This caused great disagreement among the Colonists, and certain factions seized those objects which they believed Cabirus meant for them. Even the grave of Sir Cabirus was desecrated by colonists hungry for treasure. – from Memoirs of Sir Cabirus (Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss)
