In the classic Ultima CRPG series, the Lycaeum was the stronghold built to honor the principle of Truth. Within it's walls were kept the Flame of Truth and the Book of Truth, two very sacred Britannian relics. Inside of the Lycaeum could also be found the Great Library, and the Observatory from which wise mages could chart the stars or survey the land. It is said that as long as the Lycaeum stands, wisdom will shine eternally.
The map itself was mostly based on the Lycaeum as it looked in Ultima 4, but it also contains elements from Ultima 5, such as the Flame chamber, as well as ideas that are of my own imagining. My *primary* idea for the Lycaeum was to make it a Versailles-like palace, so it has a sort of French decor and atmosphere to it. I've also included stairs down that can be linked to lower levels, crypts, or even dungeons if desired by the individual module builder. All in all, this prefab is the definitive Lycaeum for Nwn.
Note: This prefab makes extensive use of all the great new additions to the standard castle tileset featured in the latest version of the CEP. A big Thank You! goes to the CEP team for including these additions and making them available for mod builders to use. It is, truly, fantastic stuff!
Contains a demo module, an .erf file, and the customary readme file as well as a copy of the original Ultima 4 Lycaeum Map in quality .jpg format.

Just EXCELLENT!!...I don't know why anyone would not give this anything less than 10. Very nice work. I guess I had looked at your other DEMO [blushes] where it required that hak...oops...sorry...lol...I had that hak already - it just was in a sub-folder in my hak folder...this is really good - I hope you continue to make more of these. _________________________ Imtherealthing
