Earth (Aftermath)

2112 A.D., also called the Aftermath is one of the four major time-zones accessible through the time doors within the alternate history of Earth created by Minax's disruptions in Ultima II.

From 1990 to 2111
After the collapse of the Time Doors around 1990 A.D., the Cold War ended peacefully and humanity was ruled by beauty, wisdom and reason for many decades. In this peaceful age, humanity reached all the planets of the Solar System. When Minax opened new Time Doors, she put an end to this blessed century and fueled international tension. In 2111 A.D., this ended in the worst possible way: a massive (and likely nuclear) struggle of major nations against one another that resulted in a cataclysm so great that human civilization was wiped out, and the Earth was left an infertile, burnt husk. Large impact craters were in the places where New San Antonio, Northern China, and much of southeastern Europe and the Middle East once stood.

2112 Aftermath
The only survivors of this time were those able to escape this hellish fate by means of the time doors or space travel, and the only settlement on the Earth was Pirates Harbour, a city in Russia seemingly created by the gathered remnants of the old Soviet Union.

During the quest to destroy Minax, it was necessary for the Stranger to enter this blighted time, as it was the only accessible period in history where the technology for space travel could be found, and the hero had pressing business to engage in upon the fabled Planet X.

When the Time Doors collapsed, everything that came out from them was sucked back and returned to their original time zones. This includes time travelers, future technology, and also Minax's minions. Further damage by Minax was therefore avoided.

Trivia

 * Although this was the official opinion of the Britannian sages, it is hard to believe that, when the Time Doors collapsed in this age, all the victim of the worldwide conflict suddenly resurrected and that all damage were instantly fixed.
