Honesty The Rune is under Mariah's chest in Moonglow. Honor The Rune is in the Southwest Corner of Trinsic, inside the poison fields, and just Northeast of the Mage within them. Humility Within the humble Village of Paws is a mountainous area. Search within it to get the Rune of Humilty. Justice Serving hard time in the High Court's cells in Yew is the best way to get this rune. Sacrifice Within the heart of the burning forge itself lies the Rune of Sacrifice. Spirituality The Spirit is the greatest treasure of all, thus the Rune is hidden within the Treasury of Britannia, hidden within Castle British. Valor The passages of Jhelom can be entered through the inn. The Rune is past the Energy Fields, in the southeast tower.   Of the Mystic Virtue Stones Compassion The Yellow Stone is upon the 5th level of Dungeon Despise. Honesty Seek ye the Blue Stone of Honesty upon the 7th level of Deceit. Honor Within the depths of Shame, upon the 2nd Level, lies the Purple Stone of Honor Humility Seek ye under the Moongate west of Moonglow for the Black Stone of Humility Justice Ye would not be wrong to seek the Green Stone of Justice upon the 8th level of Wrong. Sacrifice The 7th level of Covetous is the hiding place of the Orange Stone of Sacrifice. Spirituality Under an Ankh within a hidden valley in the Serpent's Spine Mountains lies the White Stone of Spirituality. Flight or Magic alone may allow entry thereto.

Magic Missile: This spell requires but one part of Sulphurous Ash to be used to coat the Black Pearl. Sleep: Only One portion of Spider Silk is required to cast this spell. Perhaps the Author of the Book of Mystic Wisdom was seeing double? Resurrect: The legends of individual reagents for this spell are but a fable. Let it be known that they are Sulphurous Ash, Ginseng, Garlic, Spider Silk, Bloodmoss, and Mandrake Root. Undead: As for the Spell of Resurrection, tales are told of how the reagents vary from caster to caster, and as for the other spell, this is a myth. To prepare to cast Undead, mix one portion of Sulphurous Ash with one partion of Garlic. Gate: Were the legends true in that revealing the reagents removes the ability to cast this powerful Spell, few would have learned of it. Thus do I dispel this limiting superstition, and reveal that thou doth need Sulphurous Ash, Black Pearl and Mandrake Root.   There is a wonderful Patch for both Graphics and Music, but finding the links is left as an exercise for thee. Suffice it to say that there is a page in The Other Codex which shalst lead thee to it. Happy hunting... ;-) As for resources for those materials that are no longer found as easily as in the past, the Map is provided by Xe Dragon. Maps of the Dungeons by Fallible Dragon are within the Ultima Web Archive, along with a Solution. Should it be that you only seek knowledge of how thy actions affect thy Karma, seek ye the work of Gargish Dragon. Maps of greater accuracy and detail than that once provided for thy Quest may be found courtesy of Otmar Lendl, Fallen Angel Dragon or Trigon Dragon. Micro Dragon's manuals may be found here, and a patch to correct difficulties with transferring characters is here. Centurion's map editor can be found here. xu4, a multiple platform remake of U4 using the original data files is also worth taking a look at.   To the Ultima III Page Return to the Ultima Page Index.
