The Avatar found the Shrines on his quest in Ultima VI, and all three told of their previous malevolent roles, while teaching the meaning behind the principles. Following these events, the statues were relocated to escape the destruction of the Underworld. In Ultima VII, they were housed in a special shrine on Terfin, with Teregus as their keeper. There was a plot to destroy them by Fellowship followers under Runeb, but the Avatar foiled it, preserving the shrines. The Dark Core also tried to draw Exodus out of his shrine, but this was also prevented by the Avatar.
