Tear Of Seas

Quest Item

Tear Of Seas

This is one of the four quest items needed to complete the Warrior of Ether quest during week 3 of the 20th Anniversary Event.

Lore

From Ultima lore:

The first fragment, called the Heart of Earth, fell to Lithos, who keeps it in the fabled Pit of Death. Hydros set hers, the Tear of the Seas, on the floor of the ocean in a deep undersea city. The third fragment, the Breath of Air, is said to be on the island of Stratos' followers. A fourth fragment fell to the lands that became the cemetery, though many years later it was given to the first five Sorcerers and used to bind the Titan of Fire to their will.

There is considerable speculation about a fifth fragment. Apparently the tip of the great obelisk was seen hurling through the air almost entirely intact. However, no one ever saw the item land, so its location remains a mystery.Were all of the fragments to be gathered together and taken to an area near the location of the ancient Temple, it might be possible to recreate the effects of the obelisk. Of course, it to would still be necessary to fabricate a magical field of some sort to channel the energy from whatever source first gave the obelisk power.

Trivia

In Ultima VIII, there originally was planned an underwater city, in which the Tear of Seas would be found. However, that city was scrapped, and the Tear of Seas was instead just fished up by Devon, who gives it to the avatar.
