---|---|
(First visit) Lord British rises and says: At long last! Thou hast come! We have waited such a long, long time... Lord British sits and says: A new age is upon Britannia. The great Evil Lords are gone but our people lack direction and purpose in their lives... A champion of Virtue is called for. Thou may be this champion, but only time shall tell. I will aid thee any way that I can! How may I help thee? | (In Avatar Shrine): I am Lord British, king of Britannia. I welcome thee, Stranger, unto my fair kingdom! The Ages of Darkness are no more, yet still doth evil swell in the hearts of the people. I have long sought an adventurer who would master the eight Virtues of Avatarhood and guide our people into a new age of enlightenment. Stranger, I know in my heart that thou shalt become this Avatar! Go forth now, and conquer the frontiers of the self! |
(Later visits) Welcome, Stranger, what would thou ask of me?
|
Lord British:
|
HEALTH? I am well, thank ye. Art thou well?
|
Health? I am very well, as thou canst see! And dost thou enjoy good health as well?
|
VIRTUE? The Eight Virtues of the Avatar are Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality, and Humility!
|
Virtue? In which of the eight Virtues thou seek enlightenment?
|
(SMS) 3 PRINCIPLES? The three Principles are Truth, Love and Courage!
|
Principles? In which of the three Principles dost thou seek enlightenment?
|
|
Wilt there be anything else?

Errata[edit]
There are several recurring inconsistencies in the English localization of the NES remake of Ultima IV. The use of punctuation is extremely approximative. In particular, ellipses are very often written with four dots instead of the correct three. Capitalization of important topics is inconsistent: the same key word is sometimes capitalized, sometimes all in small letters (this applies to principles, virtues, runes, stones, etcetera).
- ↑ There should be a space after the comma.
- ↑ An ellipsis should have three dots only. The word that starts a new sentence after an ellipsis should be capitalized.
- ↑ This hyphenation is a placeholder for a colon or an ellipsis.
- ↑ There should be no space before the question mark.
- ↑ The full stop should have been a comma, and the next word all in small capitals.
- ↑ The full stop should have been a comma, and the next word all in small capitals.
- ↑ There should be a punctuation mark here, most appropriately a comma, and the word "and" should be all in small letters.
- ↑ The full stop should have been a comma, and the next word all in small letters.
- ↑ There should be a comma here.
- ↑ "The H.M.S." stands for "the His Majesty's Ship": they are equivalent, therefore if the second one is wrong, the first one is wrong too. This error probably originates from "the U.S.S." = "the United States Ship", that is actually correct.
- ↑ The space after the comma is missing.
- ↑ For non-American readers: what is called "second floor" in the United States, is called "first floor" in the rest of the world.
- ↑ The druid says "above", but the staircase leads downstairs.
- ↑ There should be a full stop here.
- ↑ This word should be plural.
- ↑ This comma should be removed.
- ↑ This comma should be omitted.
- ↑ Typo: it should be "through".
- ↑ The full stop should be a question mark.
- ↑ This hyphenation is a placeholder for a "..." ellipsis.
- ↑ This is a placeholder for a ":" colon.
- ↑ The exclamation mark should have been a comma, and the subsequent "And" should be all in small letters.
- ↑ The full stop should have been a comma, and the next word all in small letters.
- ↑ The subject is missing from the sentence. It was probably supposed to be "I heard of..."
- ↑ "That" should be "which".
- ↑ A comma should be between these two words.
- ↑ This comma should be an "..." ellipsis.
- ↑ The full stop should have been a comma, and the next word all in small letters.
- ↑ Typo: it should be "heard".
- ↑ There should be a space between "pirates'" and "pub", as well as after the next ellipsis.
- ↑ The word that starts a new sentence after an ellipsis should be capitalized.
- ↑ The east moon is on the right-hand side, because Britannia is in the southern hemisphere of its world (like Australia).
- ↑ The west moon is on the left-hand side, because Britannia is in the southern hemisphere of its world (like Australia).
- ↑ This comma should be a ":" colon, and the next word should not be capitalized.
- ↑ This "." period should be a "?" question mark, because the sentence is a question.
- ↑ The third dot is missing from this ellipsis.
- ↑ This preposition should have been omitted: "The prisoner Vorpal is..."
- ↑ Chatelaine is French for "female castellan".
