Ultima V - Townes, Keeps and Castles (Part 1)
 
           Information compiled by John R. Barnsley
 
LORD BRITISH'S CASTLE 
This castle has five levels: four above ground and one below. 
Like most locations, it can be plotted on a 32 x 32 grid. On the 
Ground Level (near the stable), talk to Treanna. You may find 
items by searching the level below, where you will find an 
Armoury and items to be picked up by searching (but DON'T fight 
any Guards here!). And don't take anything from the locked room 
down there, since it belongs to Lord British. On one level above 
you may find an "orb" with which you may view the floor the way 
you would with a gem.
 
On the second level above you will find Lord British's quarters 
(use a Skull Key to enter, or blow the door off with a cannon). 
Here lies the Magic Carpet at the entrance and a secret door 
that opens if you play the harpsichord. The secret door permits 
you to obtain the Sandalwood Box. (DO NOT SAVE THE GAME HERE!!). 

You may also meet Saduj, who may offer to join you. (DON'T let 
him - he may cause you to lose the Sandalwood Box). In this room 
you can also go through the fireplace to a secret place. Going 
through fireplaces costs you hit points so be sure you can take 
a few hits coming and going. The stairway in Lord British's 
quarters leads to an Observatory with a telescope. Don't go to 
the roof unless you have Skull Keys.
 
BRITTAIN
The Towne of Compassion has an Inn and an Armoury. There are 
sleeping quarters, terrace and a balcony on the upper floors. 
Talk to Anon, Greyson, Terrance and Guenno.
 
EAST BRITTANY 
Here there is a Healer and a Shipwright. Plans for the HMS Cape, 
which permit faster sailing aboard frigates, are in one of the 
drawers in the Shipwright's Quarters.
 

NORTH BRITTANY 
There is an Inn, a Stable and a small garden. A little north of 
the entrance is a tree stump with three gems. Talk to Joshua and 
Leof.
 
WEST BRITTANY 
Here you will find two gardens, a Tavern and a Graveyard. The 
gravestones have humorous epitaphs if you have the patience to 
decipher them. Some graves yield corpses and loot if searched.
