Yastar is a mage in Ultima IX, living on an island near Valoria. His specialty is researching magic and he has a singular recipe for making bone armor. However, his apprehension about the undead monsters in his vicinity hampers his work.

Description

When the Avatar found him, he was surprised to have a visitor, but quickly recognized the hero, crediting the volume of literature devoted to the paragon of Virtue. He quickly came to business, telling the hero how he had been experimenting with bone armor, and offered the Avatar an instruction manual detailing the production of a bone armor helm to test his theory. Intimidated by the neighboring undead, he offered to make the Avatar bone armor on the condition that the hero gather the raw materials. The Avatar agreed, and by following Yastar's instructions, managed to create the bone helm by conducting the appropriate ritual.

Trivia

• The manual can only be acquired before repairing the Shrine of Valor.
• The making of the bone helmet requires three specific skulls (found on pentagrams around the Valorian Isles), but three more skulls can be found in the ritual room. Even if the procedure is repeated, only one bone helmet can be obtained.
• Yastar asks for three reagents, and all of them can be found on the Valorian Isles. In particular, the invisible nightshade is a few steps from Jordan's body (requiring the Ethereal Sight spell to locate).
