New Magincia

Description


New Magincia is an island settlement located east of Buccaneer's Den and west of Verity Isle. It is dedicated to the virtue of Humility, having been built on the ruins of the destroyed bastion of Pride, Magincia. Unassuming as a city, New Magincia is home to simple shepherds and farmers, tending to their land and flocks.

Throughout the ages, New Magincia has remained quiet and possesses little spectacle to attract the excitement-seeking adventurer. The pastoral simplicity of the towne, however, has attracted many who wish to escape the worldly rigors of life elsewhere, and many former nobles and knights have been found one the isle, leading peacable and contemplative existences free of pomp.

The economy of the city is largely derived from its agrarian industry, although shipwrights occasionally crop up to meet the demand for travel to more exciting climes, although a Moongate on the south edge of the island has long made transportation to faster paced cities an easy undertaking.

History of the City
The original city of Magincia was destroyed by daemons for the pride of its inhabitants. After the ghosts of old Magincia were finally put to rest, the city of New Magincia was built on its ruins. It was finished just prior to Ultima V, small and humble. Like all the cities of virtue, the Shadowlords haunted it regularly.

After that time, New Magincia changed little in Ultima VI and Ultima VII, mostly because the inhabitants decided to keep things small, and the island location prevented much city growth. During the time of Ultima VI, New Magincia was big in the weaving trade.

In the time of Ultima VII, Alagner had erected his storehouse on the island. He was brutally murdered shortly after by the Fellowship, a crime that terrorized the otherwise peaceful island to the core.

All people had left New Magincia, with exception of Katrina, in Ultima IX, and it was in ruins. With the column removed, people are expected to return.
