Old UO info for old school players ...

Postby KDSonoma » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:04 am

I recently went back and poured thru my old Ultima 3-Ultima 7 books from the computer games I still have, in order to get some ideas that will tie into the Auburn quest.

This is a ragtag list of quick notes, and I will be using this to introduce new chars and relatives of characters, *grins*, to the upcoming Auburn quest series.

So its a resource to look at if anyone is interested in the old "history" of Sonoma prior to UO starting (at least according to Lord British, hehe).

--------------------------------------------------

Mondain and Minax-son was Exodus (man and machine)
Time Lord-aided Avatar vs Exodus (got past great serpent to Exodus fortress)
Codex of ultimate wisdom-raised from bottom of Stygian Abyss
3 Shadowlords from Mondains black jewel (shards)
truth, love, courage beat Blackthorn and 3 shadowlords
Paws-coastal village between Britain and Trinsic Islands-fens of the dead
Bloody Plains-between 2 swamps across mtsn NE of Cove
Isle of avatar-volcanos (fire island)

1st age of darkness
Avatar defeated Mondain (brokethe gem of power)
lost lands-Shaminos kingdom-lands of danger and despair
lands of dark unknown
lands of feudal lords

serpent pillars

I'm pretty sure Ultima is a copywritten name so my guess is they are the same!
