Historical Background of the Shattered Worlds

[Judas D'arc]

As role-players, it's important to have a strong sense of the world where our characters dwell. While much of the history and lore of Ultima Online is created by its players, which is one of the best features of the game, a strong historical reference point is still important. Back in 1999, Seer Adamantyr of the Pacific Shard created the following document to be used for such a purpose. From what I understand, it was never widely released, but a number of us back then were able to get access to it. Back when I returned to Ultima Online last year, I shared this document with SunWolf of YEW, who in turn provided it to the people of Stratics, where it's posted today. Here is a link to this document, which provides a lot of source material for the cities and history of Britannia. Please note that this document only covers the original Ultima Online, not any of the expansions and new facets that have been released since September 1997.
