It was first seen at the beginning of Ultima V. Iolo had retreated to his little known hut after being declared an outlaw by the inquisition of Blackthorn. Iolo, the Avatar, and a wounded Shamino stayed there while Shamino recovered from the wound he received from coming between the Avatar and a Shadowlord. After that time, Iolo and Gwenno decided to live there permanently. After that time, the hut vanished, and Iolo and Gwenno moved near Britain, as seen in Ultima IX.
