Transcript: Twin Gates

The Twin Gates are two mages living in Vesper in Ultima IV. Each individually identifies himself as “Twin Gates.”

Description[edit]

The two tall magicians appear and act identical to one another, and both give their salutations to the Stranger as they welcomed the aspirant to their village.[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV (where most character names were omitted and dialogue was significantly modified), one of Twin Gates can be identified as a mage in the same location, who similarly welcomes the Stranger to Vesper, claiming it to be a "city at the end of the world".[2]
  • In a document discovered by historians Robert De Main and Carlotta Stein that purports to be the Avatar’s personal diary, the Twin Gates are described as tall, bearded men, garbed in robes and sitting upon a double throne.[3]
