In Ultima III, Devil Guard was one of the few places on the mainland with an available guild shop. It also had stables, a tavern (Le Grogshop), and a grocery/healer (Food and Health). Several inhabitants of Devil Guard knew much of the Marks; it was here that the Stranger discovered that they could be gained in dungeons after touching hot metal, that there were four of them, and that each had a different use. Also overheard were tales of a Mark of Kings -- useful with Lord British -- and a Mark of the Snake, which would help bypass the Great Earth Serpent. The Stranger also learned where to find the Dungeon of Fire.
