• Population: 11

Take the road that goes west from Britain and follow it all the way north. The car tracks end in front of Empath Abbey in the town of the same name.

Main plot

Aimi and Taylor are currently the only two monks at the abbey. The man is the one who holds the information you need about the Wisps.

Services

The mage Nicodemus lives south of the abbey. Like any other mage in Britannia, he went crazy, but he still sells spells, reagents and potions. You should definitely purchase the Dispel field spell from him.

Reyna is a healer; she lives south-west of the abbey.

Perrin lives further long the road, west of the abbey. He is a scholar, that is a trainer that improves intelligence. His price is rather low, but Jakher of Minoc is better still.

Forest town of Yew

• Population: 7

It is easy to miss Yew on a first pass. All the buildings are a bit off the road. If you look closely at the in-game map, you can still see half a dozen tiny brown rectangles.

  Ben
  (woodcutter)

A bit off the east side of the road are three houses. The northmost one belongs to Iolo and Gwenno. A note can be found, written by Gwenno and addressd to Iolo, anticipating Ultima 7.2: Serpent Isle. If you asked Iolo to leave the party, he can be met here.

On the west side of the road, you might notice the first of a series of light sources. If you follow this path, you will get to the home of Tseramed. You can recruit him; he is a pure fighter who will speak in specific circumstances.

South of Tseramed's hut you can meet Ben the woodcutter. He will become important later.

East of Iolo's home is a stable hosting Smith, the talking horse. Following a tradition started in Ultima 5, he holds an important clue about the previous game. In this case, the clues are two: one about Ultima VI and one about the spin-off Martian Dreams.

Thad can be met in the forest south-east of Yew. He is the brother of Millie of Britain. Talk to him, then to her to learn the whole story.
