Taynith is a gypsy seer who travels in the company of Zoltan. Prior to the events of Ultima VI, Taynith foresaw the Avatar's return to Britannia through divinatory tile casting. Hoping to assist the hero, she enlisted the help of the bard, Mandrake, to help her in compiling information that might be of use to the returned champion of the virtues. The worldly Mandrake drafted a travelogue, describing in detail his experiences throughout the various cities and dungeons of the land. Taynith provided annotations to this, offering up snippets of visions she had had regarding various locales.
