At 12:00 Noon every day, Lord British, who was modelled after series creator Richard Garriott, will leave his throne room and walk out to its doorway, with a gold plaque hanging over it that reads "The Throne Room of Lord British". If you click on this plaque when he is directly underneath it, it will fall on his head and kill him. Afterwards, one of the party members will declare: "He's dead, Avatar! Yancey-Hausman will pay!" This quote and the way he is killed are a reference to an incident that occurred during the game's development. While checking on some employees during a smoke break, Garriott was struck by a large 8-pound magnet that fell from a security door in Origin Systems' offices, and he was hospitalized with a concussion. Yancey-Hausman was a Texan real estate firm who owned the offices at the time. Before showing the finished Easter egg to Garriott, the development team gifted him a hard hat adorned with a picture of a goose saying "Ankh Ankh", a pun referencing the recurring symbol in the Ultima series.
