The Temple of Enthusiasm, belonging to Chaos, is one of the six temples sacred to the forces that form Order, Chaos and Balance and appears in Ultima VII Part Two.

Description[edit]

The temple is situated at the northeastern tip of Serpent Isle, if one wants to gain the water of Enthusiasm. they first have to traverse a very long labyrinth of corridors in order to prove their dedication to the name-giving force. However, once the well in the courtyard is reached, no further steps are needed, one can then gain the water of Enthusiasm without any further trouble. The temple also contains a magic lens, an artifact that allows scrying over large distances - especially towards the perversion of Enthusiasm: Wantoness.

History[edit]

The Temple of Enthusiasm was invaded by the forces of Order during the War of Imbalance, killing the Chaos Hierophant in the process and demolishing the temple. Afterward it fell into the mists of history.

Many years later the Avatar procured a quantity of the water in order to create a fitting Soul Prism that would capture the Wantonness Bane. By successfully navigating the temple's labyrinth, the well containing the Water of Enthusiasm was able to be reached. Also, using the lens it was possible to spy on the Banes. Tasked with restoring the Chaos Serpent, the Avatar later returned to the temple to summon the spirit of the Chaos Hierophant and receive instructions on performing the ritual required.

Trivia[edit]

  • Found in the temple is the Hammer of Dedication, a unique weapon, though it isn't that spectacular damage-wise.
  • The labyrinth is especially annoying, since at one time, teleport lightning will strike, forcing the player to do a whole section again.
