Ultima VI: The False Prophet/Lycaeum library and Deep Forest

Exploring the library
The Lycaeum library can be divided in three areas:
 * a "descent", that leads from the surface to the fourth, deepest floor;
 * four "corners", accessed from the fourth floor and rising up like towers;
 * a "core", accessed from the fourth floor, too, and helding the history of Britannia.

There are 19 books in the library that can be read and/or borrowed.

Sorting the table by Function, it can be seen that 3 books are quest items; 9 books advertise earlier games by Origin Sys.; 1 book gives more hints about a later quest; and only 6 books serve no purpose.


 * NOTE: the nine video games mentioned in the Lycaeum include: 5 previous Ultima titles; 3 games released by Origin the year before Ultima 6; one game programmed by Dr. Cat before he joined Origin.

Nicodemus the enchanter
Although Thariand is the Lord of the Stronghold of Truth (i.e. the Lycaeum), what he says is of little usefulness: the forest southeast of Yew is too thick to get through. Eckhart, from the Stronghold of Love (i.e. Empath Abbey), gives the best advice to find Nicodemus' house.
