Uranus



Uranus is a planet within the Terran Solar System, located at coordinates 9,4,6. In Ultima II it is possible to visit Uranus using a rocket ship which can be acquired in the year 2112 A.D., from the post-apocalyptic Soviet settlement of Pirates Harbour.

Description
Unlike the ammonia and methane riddled ice giant of modern astronomy, Minax's Uranus was a densely forested world, with small patches of swampland and mountains appearing occasionally amid its thick woodlands. Known to Earth's people to be inhabited at the time, Uranus was home to the strange village of New Jester, which was home to a race of Uranian fools who would swarm around any who entered their domicile, sometimes forcing their target's into inescapable positions in which they would die of starvation or exposure. A signpost could also be found in the southeastern quadrant of the planetscape.



It is not known if Uranus again became a cold, ringed world void of humanoid life once Minax was finally slain and the time stream returned to its normal course, but it seems probably given the lack of explicit reference by the modern scientific community of the Avatar's Earth to a forested, jester-ridden Uranus.
